Super Massive Black Hole Ejected from its Galaxy

[Sai-chan]

@Warp: Perhaps~

@Nodensuke: I always love learning about space. One of my favorite topics actually is the eventual death of the universe. Although a lot of people find it morbid and terrifying (which it is), but I just see it as inevitable. It reminds me of how many amazing things there are out there in the universe, how much we don't know, how we're even able to even comprehend such ideas so far past our own planet and our own being. We're so small and yet we know so much (and yet so little). It's just a fascinating thought~

[Warp Predator]

I used to love learning about space and crap, but it got to be too much for my brain to handle..I learned I'm one of those people who is completely terrified of what the universe actually is, just sitting and thinking about it give me the willies.

It's called space dementia) I have similar feeling in open ocean. Can't stop thinking about something enormous like that giant ghostly white shark. Damn that shark.

[Sai-chan]

Maybe I'm weird. I'm completely afraid of the ocean and space, and yet that doesn't stop me from wanting to learn more about it. :I
Just as long as I'm as far away as possible of course but still

Mine too. But mostly in morbid and terrifying sense. It's like absolute idea of mortality. Still universe may have energy sources beyond itself, so maybe it won't happen

[Sai-chan]

Well, there is the concept of White Holes...

but everything that has a begining has an ending. Sometime in the far future, stars will die out, their energy spent. The universe will become a dark, bleak, and cold place. The only thing floating around would be risidual radiation, and even then, that too will one day spread out so far that it matters little. What once had life, will always learn death.
At least, that's my belief~

[Densuke]

Univeral mortality is just bloody scary. Makes me think of two people talking about death and one of them is going on about wondering what's after death, and the other person just blurts out..."Well, if you're interested in that, what do you think happens when the universe dies?"

*Shiverrrrrrr*

That's not the death of the universe in my opinion, just because every form of life in it eventually dies off, there's still the vastness of space which was inhabited. It's just completely empty..

[Sai-chan]

Well, you could always guess that when one universe dies, another is born in a parallel big bang. Sorta like a universe sized reincarnation.

Ah, but what would you call a body without a soul? I would still call that dead, even if the heart is still beating.

[Densuke]

True, but if the "soul" of the universe is gone but the hearts still beating it's still technicall alive, there's just no substance. I guess it's basically like being on life support or something, but there's no one there to pull the plug so it just keeps expanding.

Unless the theory of the Big Rip happens.

You are so awesomely morbid now , I've actually shivered.
I support theory that there is infinite number of universes so if one dies it stays like empty bubble. It's just if there is just one universe it can't..it shouldn't die completely. Dark thoughts is dark

[Sai-chan]

There's also the theory that dark energy will rip everything apart. Though that's a little far fetched, since gravity (and dark matter or whatever) holds clusters of objects together even if those clusters are being pulled away from each other. Like beads on a string~

Why thank you. xD

There is a theory that universes are always being born. I'm not sure how it works though. But it could give hope for the future, maybe not of our universe, but of others~

The Big Rip! ahah.

If you think about the idea of there being multiple universe, than there must be some sort of super massive universal-universe to hold them all.

Eh. Dead doesn't have to mean ripped apart neutron by neutron. At least not to me. :I

The question is, what is it like? Is it the 'alpha' universe, the one that spawned all the others? And how? It's certainly an interesting thought~

[Warp Predator]

And that alpha-universe is just one of many alpha-universes. And then all that alpha-universes in one big alpha-multiverse. And alpha-multiverse is inside another even bigger universe! And then my head explode.

[Densuke]

And really it's all just the result of a cat dreaming.

[Sander]

And what about that "space roar" thingie that I've read about a couple of years ago?When they picked up a strange radio signal or something?

[Warp Predator]

And really it's all just the result of a cat dreaming.

So death of universe is just a cat waking up. We don't have much time then=)

But seriously alpha universe must be immensely big. And if it's not infinite then what's beyond? Nothing? Pure energy? Realm of the Dark Gods? Cheese?

[Noqanky]

(The research with neutrinos going faster than light was, from what I heard, indeed a result of inaccurate data.)

Regarding the topic, I also always loved astronomy and the only thing that kept me from pursuing astrophysics is that it involves too much, well, physics. However, I did take classes and I always found it fascinating to think about the size of the universe and the orderly chaos of it all.
Since you mention the eventual death of the Universe due to its expansion ... I always found it weird to think of the fact that the universe is expanding. Not so much of the fact it's doing it but ... well, where is it expanding to?
And here it gets bizarre, because what we have detected of the furthest reaches of space is what gives us an idea of how space started, since the furthest areas of the universe are enough lightyears away to go back to the beginning of it all with the Big Bang. But then you think, well, does that mean that the universe really does expand into nothingness since if we saw into that nothingness we'd see the space before the big bang?

Always gets really weird to try to think in a 4th dimension.

[Sai-chan]

Well, beyond our expanding universe is... nothing. Absolutley nothing. No matter, no space, not time, nada. The universe is like an ink stain that just keeps getting bigger and infecting the nothingness with it's being.

[Densuke]

And what about that "space roar" thingie that I've read about a couple of years ago?When they picked up a strange radio signal or something?

Never heard of it actually, sounds interesting though..I've heard a bunch of audio clips of the sound of the rings of Saturn though, very creepy.

Well this cat was realllly sleepy, and plus...Cat naps for it are like billions of year our time.

[Noqanky]

This nothingness is a really tough concept to grasp, since the fact that the universe takes place in it implies it does have some interaction with time and space.

But then again, I guess as humans we really can't imagine pure nothingness.
