Creepy resemblance. The universe also resembles a p-orbital.

Too bad they don't host files.
Also the scale of the universe is crazy. I saw a youtube video like that awhile ago and it blew my mind.
That's no moon...

When I first read the title I imagined:

Gah, that sounds of space thing freaks me the fuck out for some reason, reminds me somehow of Aliens.
It makes me wonder though, what do they mean with 1.5% of the observable universe? Is it a reference to a limit, or is it just what we know about it so far?

1.5% of the entire part of the universe we can "observe"; there are places we can't observe because they are too far away or maybe are in a different dimension. Basically, we are not able to research/view/observe/whatever the whole entire universe because of the limitations I said, such as distance.
Anyone who thinks there isn't other life out there has shit for brains.

I agree. The most stable stars are dwarf stars. These stars last longer than the sun. Imagine life evolved on a planet orbiting a dwarf star? They are probably billions of years ahead of us.
I think it would be hard a for a species to survive over 1 billion year...
When you think of things to this magnitude, it really fucks your mind over. My mind can't really process how big space actually is. It makes me wonder, where the fuck are we? There has to be more life out there. I believe there has to be a negaverse some where. We have to have exact opposites!
I feel very very small.
Even though it probably won't happen in our lifetime, I'd like to see us start to actively exploring other planets, or at the very least establish active communication with another civilization.
So many light years. Even if we could travel at the speed of light, we wouldn't be able to get out far enough. You can't go faster than the speed of light. If you try to equate it, everything gets fucked. There was a thread about it a while ago.
I do wonder if i will live the day when they find (make contact) with an another civillzed planet.

We can't see anything other than the observable universe because the universe is only around 14 billion years old, so the maximum distance we'd be able to see would be 14 billion light-years.

He was saying how only 1.5% of Everything in the Universe is actually matter we can observe.

[QUOTE=livelonger12;14146998]Yes, we are. Aliens don't exist.[/QUOTE]
You can't honestly tell me that within the gigantic, vast, unending expanse of space you believe that there is no possible way anything can be alive? That there is no remote possibility that life exists anywhere else in the universe, something so big we can't even begin to measure it's full size, and that we humans are the chosen few that inhabit on infinitesimal speck of it? I don't know about anyone else, but that doesn't seem to make sense even in the least. I'm not saying reptillians run the governments or that aliens frequently abduct farmers to shove things in their asses, I'm saying that it seems silly to discount life in other parts of the universe when we haven't even seen the whole damn thing yet.

Why does everyone think you have to travel at light speed to get somewhere
Why not just make a wormhole and use it to get there instead

Holy shit, the one for Earth is awesome. The others sound so haphazard and random, whereas Earth's sounds almost orchestral

Neither one makes much technological sense at this point, unless I'm woefully out of date. Though it would be interesting to see the first machine designed to generate wormholes.
Seeing things like this and playing Spore really gave me a better perspective of the universe. Incredible. We're so insignificant, I mean I don't see how anyone can look at the size comparison chart, then look at all those galaxies and actually believe the entire universe and this system were created all for us.
[QUOTE=livelonger12;14146957]Also, we are the only ones. There is no such thing as aliens; there are only animals and humans.[/QUOTE]
Thats pretty reactionary.
