Super Massive Black Hole Ejected from its Galaxy

[Sai-chan]

Actually, for anyone who's interested, there was a documentary on H2 not long ago about Cosmological Natural Selection. Which is like... new universes are constantly being born with the birth of black holes. Its kinda hard to explain, but with each new black hole, a new universe is born. The laws differ slightly, and with each difference a completely different universe is formed. According to this theory, the number of black holes a new universe creates is directly related to how... well a universe has evolved. The more black holes, the better. And the 'multiverse' will take these well evolved universes into account and create more universes like those that were successful in their evolution, or something.

(If you want more information you could just google it, haha. I don't remember everything on the subject but it was really interesting)

There was also a thing on how the universe could be a living being ('living' being defined as a 'thing' that has a system that works and sustains itself--a city would be considered 'living'), and stuff like that but it was a while ago and I'm can't remember all the details. lol

In the end humans are just mammals, and we were only given one general concept to live by: to survive. The fact that we've even gone past that inherited trait is an amazing feat in itself--most animals aren't even self aware enough to know they're seeing themselves in the mirror and not some rival animal. :T Our brains were made for thinking, but to survive, not to contemplate the universe. We're like the mutants of the world.

That's still a big subject of debate. No one really knows how the universe came to be. Just that it came via a giant explosion from a singular point. Beyond that we don't really know much other than theories and ideas. There's no real way to prove any of those, either. So we just have to guess.

We're much much more than just animals, though.

And I'm tired of people always treating science and religion as complete hinders of each other. You can't believe in one or the other (I know "believing" in science doesn't make sense but still). Some of the greatest minds and scientists have been Catholic or Christian or at least believed in God. You don't have to be an atheist to be a scientist nor do you have to be some ridiculous fundamentalist nutjob to believe in God or follow a certain religion.

But, in the end, we are animals. We are just sentient and self aware. It could be said that we're how the universe understands and comprehends itself, since we come from the universe itself. We are the stuff of star dust, but in the end, we are animals with the ability to create, and grow, and understand, and do amazing things. But we are just animals. We can't destroy planets, or create new galaxies, or cause a supernova, or even control the growth and death of stars. We are just animals on a small planet, revolving around a small star, at the edge of a large galaxy.

This could be viewed as my opinion, of course, but this is what I believe. If you have a different opinion, so be it--it's your choice to believe what you will.

[GuetaMinute]

No, what you said is pretty much spot on. We ARE animals but my point was that we are so much more capable than just being animals and surviving.

How about let's rename this thread "Sai-chan talks about the universe."

But Sai-chan, you sound so cool. I'm not judging, I'm admiring you.

I control space and time; just thought I would tell everyone.

I'm an example of this. I believe in something greater (even though that something greater upsets me sometimes) and science. (Though...I don't attend church, or, anything of the sort--I dislike organized religion, having someone telling me how to worship).

space is the best

on a list of my favorite things it goes

Space, space, robots, prosthetic limbs, puppets, space, robots, and space

Because space is the place

Oh, no. xD I'm only 17. I just watch a lot (and I mean a lot) of documentaries on space. Mostly on History and Discovery Channel, though there are a few well detailed documentaries on National Geographic. There's also a few good series on H2 (More 2 History--a History Channel alt for people with premium cable), like Through the Wormhole, Into the Universe with Stephen Hawking, and I hear they're showing new episodes of The Universe.

I don't study astronomy or anything similar (mostly because I hate learning equations and astrophysics/astronomy seems like it'd have a frightening amount of them), but I am fascinated by space, and I love to learn the theories and concepts. But my heart lies with art~

now im sure we are the same person



my favorite doomsday scenario is that Planet X, Nibiru/Wormwood, is a brown dwarf that comes around every couple billion years and causes mass extinctions

i like to watch stuff like that mostly because of the animated bits

You like The Universe too? :D


Oooh, I forgot about that one. My personal favorite doomsday scenario is death by gama ray burst from that one star that's ready to shoot right in our direction. It's even been hypothesized that a gama ray burst is what caused one of Earth's extinctions. I can't be sure which one since Earth had so many extinctions...

I love the animations too. They're just so pretty and fun to watch, haha. But I also like watching for info since I'm a nerd like that. lol

We three share the same liking . My favorite episodes have always been Pulsars and Quasars; and Alien Galaxies. The CGI sequences are top-notch, the best scientific minds of the day have their say, the shows move at a brisk pace, and the material is sufficiently simplified so that about a fifth of all potential viewers can follow it.

Astronomy and Cosmology in particular have reached their Golden Age. Like they say, "Space is the man's final Frontier."

Stephen Hawking can be a bit of a dick.



I knew this before Twilight so don't hate.

(I love Magnatars. :D The thought of a start that basically turns into a giant super charged MAGNET has always fascinated me.)

Oh god, I haven't seen the episode on Quasars in forever. Somehow I always manage to forget about Quasars. lol I love how the show lets EVERYONE add their two cents. And you can tell how fascinated they all are by the subjects they're talking about. They honestly love what their doing.

Hey, if they can simplify stuff enough so that 13-year-old me could watch and understand it, I think they're doing good. lol

Magnetars are very fascinating. They are like in middle stage, with Pulsars in the beginning and Black Holes in the last. What is amazing is their Magnetic Field of more than 10^7 Tesla. Earth has like 0.4 Gauss of Magnetic Field. The highest every achieve on Earth is 500 Tesla. If we were even 1000km in front of a Magnetar, we would be shredded into pieces because this gigantic Magnetic field would separate hydrogen and oxygen molecule in water due to their diamagnetism.

Well the show started in may 2007. I was 14 at that time. I could understand 98% of each episode as far as i can remember. Top-noch. But my interest in space came when i was like 8-9 years old. I was just glad to find a show completely devoted to Universe.

Not to mention our core is made up of melted metal. Being anywhere near a Magnatar would be like watching everything disintegrate into the smallest particles! Oh, maaaaaan.

Wow, it's only a few years old! o: I try to watch as many episodes as I can because I forget things easily, and repeat watchings helps me to remember certain details.

I've always loved space since I was little. Every time we'd get a new science book since 3rd grade or so, I'd immediately go to the section with space. (Not to mention my dad was obsessed with Star Trek and Star Wars--so even if I didn't care for those I was still exposed to the fascinating world of space since birth practically, haha. It didn't help that I loved Sailor Moon too.) I'd ask my parents questions like 'how do the planets say floating in space?' or 'is there an end to space?' and all these things. By 5th grade I was able to recite all of the planets (plus Pluto) in correct order in less than 30 seconds. lol

I'm just glad that there are so many wondrous shows about space. The Universe, Through the Wormhole, Into the Universe, and so many more. <33 Space is just so fascinating!
