I've said similar before, just been viewing the night sky with a telescope, there's summat about our Solar System with all the cool stuff up there that blows my mind more than anything in the world.

 

Seriously if I could, I would love to go up and see with my own eyes, maybe one day people will visit places like Mars, but they haven't even got the machine or the right spacesuits yet, Saturn is an amazing planet, with it's surrounding rings and moons, to think our Solar System is just a small part of the universe is unreal, Earth is a tiny spec, if that.

Something created the universe, but what created the something

Think about this -

 

 

If the entire history of the Universe were condensed into a calender year, the first humans appear about 10.30pm on December 31st.

just in time for a piss up, good timing

I tried to think about it, but I haven't a clue what you're going on about

Space is big. Really big. You just won't believe have vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's but that's just peanuts to space.

 

Didles, I just spent an inordinate amount of time chuckling at your avatar!

but because of the distanaces etc, the law of averages means nowt here

 

alternatively, it may well have already existed millions/billions of years ago somewhere else, or will eventually exist millions/billions of years elsewhere

 

given how much of a one off our plant is, in terms of everything, you could easily say there is no chance it could happen again!

 

that's why I love it, I've got no idea

 

and that's why god doesn't exist

 

or if he did, he didn't knock it up in 7 days

 

 

F?ck off Buzz. You space rangers have an unfair advantage over the rest of us.

And there were still 20000 Bolton fans on against Darlington on Bonfire Night.

This has been mentioned before on here, but there is a theory that when the 'Big Bang' occurred

 

an infinite number of universes were created.

 

Try getting your head around that!

I did chuck in "I've got no idea" as a disclaimer (it's just an outfit, it's not real)

Something created the universe, but what created the something

george harrison

diddles, i read this last year. theres a thread on here about it somewhere.

 

 

ive never really considered anything like it befrore but needed sommit to do whilst lazing about the pool on holiday.

 

it mashed my fuckin head right up, but certainly explained a few things.

Edited January 11, 201115 yr by HomerJay

Righto.

 

Just past the moon there is a wall. On the other side of that wall is nothing but jelly babies.

 

Prove me wrong.

 

I say this becuase we have a bloke who cannot even wipe up his own shit telling us things about the cosmos which sounds so outlandish we dare not argue otherwise, so accept it as correct.

I read (most of) that a few years ago during one of my Bryson phases and by fuck it was hard work!! It stares at me on my bookshelf saying 'finish me, you know you want to....the quantum mechanics bit is a proper giggle, come on, get stuck in'.

 

 

The quantam physic is the most laborious piece in the book but the majority of it is brilliant at putting things in laymans terms and making sense of the vastness of life and space etc. Definately worth the effort if you ever get round to it.

Righto.

I'm with you on this one: you can hear the sarcasm in his voice.

Stephen Hawking is also a Wanderers fan Diddles. He puts some great stuff on You Tube.

FAO Diddles

 

Big Bang (beginning of universe) happened 01 Jan at 00:00:01

Present day i.e now is 31 Dec 23:59:59

 

Using that time scale Humans in present form i.e homosapiens, didnt arrive until 31 Dec at 22:30:00

 

in real life terms Humans have been around for 400k years, so it goes to show how old the universe really is,

 

And in answer to your other question about the 1st Human, 1st Dinasaur, 1st mammall etc, well theres no answer, all forms of life have desended from one being, they have gradually evolved over the period of billions of years. i.e a chimp didnt give birth to a Man, it was gradual process taking hundreds of thousands of years

 

Read up on Charles Darwin, he knew his Onions when it comes to evolution

I'm not going to take the piss for once. Didle, did you watch the star gazing programme on BBC2 last week with Brian Cox, the coolest geek in the whole wide world.

Wasnt he the lead singer of D:ream

So, how do you explain Gareth Bale then?

Very good Micky.

 

Now then, seeing as how Diddles started it. As we know, all objects, materials, matter is made up of molecules and atoms.

 

Have you ever considered that our world; solar system; galaxy; known universe etc. might just be electrons and protons spinning around in a larger atom which might just be a component of the pus in a pimple on a giant bricklayers arse?

 

I have and it drives me to drink

Me too. Size is relative to our surroundings. As we've already discussed, we don't have a clue just how big our surroundings are save for the fairly close surroundings that we can see therefore our size is relative to our immediate surroundings not our surroundings.

 

HEAVY!
