Aye, I never tire of watching that video.

It's astonishing, it really is. We simply can't be the only form of life, man.

Its got to be pretty impossible for us to be the only kind of life tbf. The Human race could already have existed hundreds of thousands of times over at varying points of the universe. It's absolutely mental to think about. We are literally nothing.

Canny complicated but bascially everthing we see and are : is a 3d projection from the even horizon of a black hole.

Some of these theories are total mind f***s.

Another one I never get sick of. He's got loads of interesting videos.

Serious mind melt but i really do like this theory, it explains a fair bit and works on multiple levels.

Cant watch that in the library but is that one of those string theory videos? If so, I reckon the best one is 'understanding the 12th dimension'. I posted it in the youtube thread a while back, but the animations and the voice over are superb and really clear.

I love science

Decky · « **Reply #57 on:** Thursday 24 March 2011, 06:50:51 PM »

Gonna give some of these a watch later

Gonna be disappointed if that smiley is any indication.

We really are a hologram, everything in the universe is light and energy, your brain is just the receiver of information.

This is canny. Just the solar system but interactive in your browser (flash needed):

Real-time too if you want.

That's pretty cool, but the planets don't seem to align during 2012!

POOT · « **Reply #65 on:** Friday 25 March 2011, 11:59:27 AM »

You're right

Looking in settings, next to the planet scale slider, there's an Armageddon option

Just to cheer you up on a Tuesday Morning, here is a list of all Potentially Hazardous Asteroids (Asteroids/Comets that have an Earth crossing orbit) http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/orbits/ a few coming our way in 2011/2012. Get those Parky Tin Hats on!

http://secchi.nrl.navy.mil/STEREOorbit/C2010_X1.html - This one comes VERY close, but not until October 2011 or so.

... as do these ones: http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/ca/ Be one great light show in the sky. Most of these aren't TOO big, but still...

Mike · « **Reply #67 on:** Tuesday 29 March 2011, 09:59:03 PM »

Man, watching the orbits of Earth and Mars, I got terribly frightened for anyone that finds themselves stranded between the planets. There is a nice little window where they're pretty close, and then the Earth just absolutely zooms away.

One mistake and you're out there forever.

Even if you make it to Mars, you still have to wait 18-26 months it seems for a chance to return. f***. The balls on the people that will make that trip. Hope I'm alive for that.

OCK · « **Reply #68 on:** Tuesday 29 March 2011, 10:10:40 PM »

Funny you say that, as there's a website claiming to have the original source recordings of early Russian Space Flights. They're suppose to be brutal. Cosmonaughts crying and screaming as their ships burn on re-entry, or as they become aware that their ship is drifting out into space. Gives me chills thinking about it.

It needs a lot more exposure time (this is only 20 x 1mins - should be 20 x 10mins...at least) but I thought some of you may be interested in one of the many things viewable from Terra Firma.

I had tracking issues so it's very poor compared to what I should be getting. :-[
