Man, that X-ray is so low-quality. It's amazing how much the technology has improved since then, even though we're basically just blasting light at stuff until we can see through it.
what a badass
Easily the most metal thing I've ever heard of

Princess Victoria Louise of Prussia, an honorary Colonel of the Hussar Calvary Regiment named after her in 1909. Notice the badass deaths head. Her Regiment was called "The Deaths Head Hussars". They were disbanded after WWI but her sister regiment was absorbed into the reichswehr.

It seems like they don't "collide" so much as just sort of blob into eachother like two clouds.
Imagine two planets smashing into each other, dang

Considering the distances between stars, collisions are very unlikely. If the milky way were to collide with Andromeda or whatever, chances are the Earth wouldn't get hit by anything - I suppose its orbit might change drastically, though, which could lead to the extinction of life on earth.
Except, you know, there's a thing called gravity that makes things want to fly towards each other :rolleyes:

Not if, when. That simulation I posted is what is actually going to happen.

Totally. I want Deaths Heads on EVERYTHING. Put them on Army brochures and hand them out in highschool.

I think you underestimate the sheer expanse of space and the odds of things really hitting each other like that.
It'll probably happen, but not as much as it sounds.
[QUOTE=download;46704267]Except, you know, there's a thing called gravity that makes things want to fly towards each other :rolleyes:[/QUOTE]
Doesn't mean they'll actually hit each other, though. I was just making a guess, but now that I'm actually looking at the Wikipedia article, it's just confirming what I said.
[QUOTE]While the Andromeda Galaxy contains about 1 trillion (1012) stars and the Milky Way contains about 300 billion (3×1011), the chance of even two stars colliding is negligible because of the huge distances between the stars. For example, the nearest star to the Sun is Proxima Centauri, about 4.2 light-years (4.0×1013 km; 2.5×1013 mi) or 30 million (3×107) solar diameters away. If the Sun were a ping-pong ball, Proxima Centauri would be a pea about 1,100 km (680 mi) away, and the Milky Way would be about 30 million km (19 million mi) wide. Although stars are more common near the centres of each galaxy, the average distance between stars is still 160 billion (1.6×1011) km (100 billion mi). That is analogous to one ping-pong ball every 3.2 km (2.0 mi). Thus, it is extremely unlikely that any two stars from the merging galaxies would collide.[4][/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]Two scientists with the Harvard–Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics stated that when, and even whether, the two galaxies collide will depend on Andromeda's transverse velocity.[2] Based on current calculations they predict a 50% chance that in a merged galaxy the solar system will be swept out three times farther from the galactic core than its current distance.[2] They also predict a 12% chance that the Solar System will be ejected from the new galaxy sometime during the collision.[9] Such an event would have no adverse effect on the system and the chances of any sort of disturbance to the Sun or planets themselves may be remote.[9][10]
Without intervention, by the time the two galaxies collide the surface of the Earth will have already become far too hot for liquid water to exist, ending all terrestrial life; that is currently estimated to occur in about 3.75 billion years due to gradually increasing luminosity of the Sun (it will have risen by 35–40% above the current luminosity).[11][12][/QUOTE]
There's no reason to be a smartass, especially when you're wrong.

While I was fairly certain, I didn't look it up - so I wrote "Andromeda or whatever". I didn't look at the simulation you posted either. Sometimes it's just nice to post without confirming everything before doing so, you know?

Holy shit, this reminds me of this video of these folding star like things: one bronze and one silver.
They could go together to make that, or form two seperate cubes, or two seperate stars like in that picture.
Now I really want to find it and buy them, fuck.

I have one. Get them off ebay cheap. Look up "Bamboo puzzles"

No that's it but after searching about I found it! I've been looking for this for FUCKING YEARS!!!!
Ended up trawling through bestofyoutube archives to find the video where I first saw it in like 2010.
It's called the Yoshimoto Cube.

Has anyone found a place to buy them in the UK? I'd love to get my dad one for Christmas, he loves that kinda stuff.

I get the feeling that this was part of their ground effect vehicle project.

Since I already explained it to someone through Steam let me try explaining this here as well in a way that's a little easier to visualize.
Let's do this on a pixel scale. 1px = 1 diameter of the Moon. (Moon = 3,474.8km in diameter.) The Earth has a diameter of 3.6px (12,742km), Jupiter (the biggest planet in our solar system) has a diameter of 40.2px (139,822km), and the Sun has a diameter of 400.5px (1,391,684km). The distance between the Earth and Moon alone is 110.6px (384,400km). You could fit nearly three entire Jupiters and 1/3rd of the Sun between the Earth's surface and the Moon's surface. Furthermore the Earth would be 43,052.8px from the Sun (149,600,000km). You could fit 10,000 Jupiters into that distance.
Now let's bump this up to the scale of entire star systems. The average distance between two stars is 5 lightyears. 5ly = 4.7302642x10^13km. That is 47,302,642,000,000km. 47 trillion, 302 billion, 642 million kilometers. In our pixel example that puts an average star at 13,613,054,564.29px away from its nearest neighbor. Our Sun is an average sized star and it is only 400px in diameter. That means it takes 33,990,148.7 average stars to cover the average distance between two stars. To put this into the context of Andromeda colliding with the Milky Way, the Sun's sphere of influence (the limits on what its gravity can affect from my understanding) is supposed to be approximately 30,547 AU (AU = Astronomical Unit, the average distance between the Sun and Earth). That's 4.56976616x10^12 kilometers. That's approximately 1/1000th the distance between two average stars. (~3,400,000px or so.) This leaves a gap of [del]~27,500,000px[/del] (Edit: Whoops, mixed up the 34m average stars with the pixel measurement.) ~13,606,254,564.29px between the two stars where they don't really affect anything.
