EDIT - Nothing to see here folks. Move along.

 

[BrollySupersj]

Didn't this happen like way back in March or something?

 

[Piper Maru]

It's good to see others interested in astronomy. It's something that I've been interested in ever since I was a kid.

NASA announcement to happen in 19 hours - expected to "Shake the Earth - it will never be the same again"

http://www.rememberthe13th.com/


EDIT: Probably fake: http://www.openminds.tv/alleged-nasa-site-hypes-historic-discovery-1159/

"Probably" just turned to "Definately." Check out the website again.

 

[BrollySupersj]

Well I clicked the link to "find what the discovery" was and it was just a pathetic music video. Nothing but ear rape.

Anyone here believe in a multiverse or alternate realities?

Specifically, I'd like to believe that the many-worlds interpretation exists. I'm not a huge fan of M-theory.

 

[zeroapoc]

I think the many-worlds interpretation is fascinating. Even though it means in a world somewhere I'm a world famous drag queen. In another I'm worse than Hitler. And in another I host horrible children's television. Same for all of you.

 

[Piper Maru]

I like to think that there is more than one universe. I doubt we'll know for sure anytime soon, but its very thought provoking.

Why Didn't Anybody Tell Me?

13,500,000,000 years ago something happened, and we really only found out a few years ago.

You live in amazing times. Don't say nobody told you.

When you look at innumerable galaxies in space, does it leave you feeling more or less lonely?

You know, I don't think we are alone...I think the Universe is teaming with life. However, the great distances & lack of technologies to traverse those great distances is what make makes me, for one, our world is more lonely....which may not be a bad thing, if you know what I mean.

 

[NickNitro]

I'll say this again, anyone who thinks statistically we are the only planet able to sustain a life forms out of billions of galaxies with billions of stars, you are as naive as they come.

So who where is excited for the comet Iso at the end of the month?

 

[Bim]

So who where is excited for the comet Iso at the end of the month?

I'm very curious about it for sure.

 

[gohei_]

I'm very curious about it for sure.

Yeah me too, a lot of news sites hype it up to be the spectacle of the century.

 

[Godsfireworks]

I'm just hoping it survives its graze with the sun.
