Futurama Science

Speaking of dense...

Watch the show first, it's amazing. This is from episode 4.

At first I thought it was like one of those type of matter than weighs an extremely high amount even in low amounts, but Instead of one chunk being a billion pounds, one pound equals a billion pounds.

And 1 pound can't equal anything other than 1 po-

You know what, never mind. MAGIC

I thought it was saying it was a high dense solid matter, then I realized he said 1 pound was a bunch more pounds.

It's funny, i'm funny.

You're overanalyzing everything. Just sit back and enjoy the internet.

You know, I'd be offended if I knew what that was.

I googled it, the only consistent result was a League of Legends profile.

why didn't I ever think of doing that

We simply aren't pro enough.

Have this dancing volibear. It'll cheer you up.

i accidentally replied to myself origially

"that doesn't really exist... or kind of does maybe"

all of theoretical physics in a nutshell

Yeah. I tried to throw in a bit of humor. It WAS intended.

Yeah, figured that out already. Memory warped the matter and energy, I guess.

Still very similar theories, in the end.

I was almost certain that dark energy is the opposite of dark matter. It tries to spread out galaxies, which accounts for the accelerated rate of expansion of the universe.

First: The universe isn't accelerating, it's slowing down. Which signifies that the "Big Bang" is a repeated cycle that happens every... bajillion years. It will eventually stop expanding, begin to retract, and eventually compact, and eventually cause another "Big Bang".

Second: Galaxies without dark energy will have it's planets and stars and stuff fly everywhere in very unexpected ways. If gravity was the only thing holding a galaxy together, the gravity of each planet and star would pull each of them in different ways, causing the chaotic positioning.

Something about the Dark Energy (either it's unknown, or it's just unknown to me), keeps the pieces of the galaxy from spreading out in such chaos. And instead, in sync with the gravitational pull, causes the pieces to fall into place more evenly. Spiral galaxies are a prime example of this, as without the Dark Energy, it would just be a clusterfuck of stars, planets, and such, just crashing into each other, and expanding away from the focal point.

wikipedia disagrees, as does nasa. At least on that bit about what dark energy does. I know all galaxies have an abundance of dark matter at their core, holding them together.

Maybe I'm just getting stuff mixed up then. In which case I'm just spouting nonsense, and feel free to ignore me.

No prob, physics gets confusing sometimes

Well, I was right. But I was told that I was wrong. So I started speaking what I was told was right, when it was really wrong.

Long story short, I was right about Dark Matter holding the galaxies together, I took someone's word saying it was actually Dark Energy, and without checking evidence, started to say it was in fact Dark Energy. Thus I feel slightly idiotic, and a bit gullible for that.

Dunno why your links got thumbed down. You actually took the time to look stuff up, and I'm just rambling from memory. Oh well. I threw a green thumb in there to try and even it out.

Dark matter and dark energy are different

Hmm... You're right. But a quick research shows how closely related they are...

And at first glance, they look to be the exact same thing, just one being physical and one not.

If I wasn't tired as fuck, I'd read more about this. I find it interesting.

Sorry for the blunt response, I'm also tired and didn't feel like remembering everything I know about them so I left it at that. You should look into this and other science related.. things.. It's all interesting.

Except biology.

Fuck biology.

I like all things that are science-y.

Even Bio. Chemistry I only like the basics, and physics is prolly more work than it's worth to solve.

But space and earth sciences are extremely interesting. I made some posts a long ass time ago about history repeating itself over and over again. If i wasn't lazy, I'd dig it all up. If I wasn't doubly lazy, I'd just type it all back out.

Biology, fuck yeah. I didn't have fun until i realized how interconnected everything was in science. everything is applicable to everything.

Biology is also really easy to follow, compared to the other sciences. That's what makes it so "fun" for me. It's just simple and easy, and easy to remember (for the most part). At the same time, when you get far, far into it, it is extremely complex... I wonder...

Which is more limitless... The universe, or the human mind?

"fuck biology"
...
gigity

You, sir...

After jumping into a bit of research, it apears that it IS the Dark Matter that holds the galaxies together.

Perhaps you thought I was talking about Dark Energy just because I used the term "energy"?

I thought you were assuming that dark matter and dark energy were the same because of how you used matter and energy in the same way.

If I'm not mistaken, and someone correct me if I am, I believe it is
-dark matter that creates gravitational forces larger than expected (ie. Galaxies being held together)
-dark energy that causes the universe to expand at a more rapid rate over time instead of slowing down

I love science.<3

Yes. That's the way it is. Haha. I was describing Dark Matter as an "Energy" because it's almost.. not even there. It's like nothing, that has a gravitational pull.

But yeah, you then made me start telling people that Dark Energy is what Dark Matter is xD

Which is ironically, what a lot of people are saying, wrongly.

I thought dark matter was a term for unexplained but real things in space

WELLLL what you are thinking of is dark energy. dark matter however has actual effects that are seen. its gravitational lensing , or the gravity of an invisible object bending light, yet we see nothing.

tl:dr; dark matter and matter ate each other up and dueled it out at the beginning of time and matter one out, but now we have ridiculous amounts of nothingness in between. Dark matter now is very scarce.

it most certainly is not. You see, weight measures how much grav- ALL HAIL THE HYPNOTOAD

Oh god dammit, not this stupid thread ag-- ALL HAIL THE HYPNOTOAD

hey guys what's goin-ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD

Why are you al-ALL HAIL THE HYPNOTOAD, MASTER OF CREATION AND LORD OF THE INTERNET

This shit is getting ol-ALL HAIL THE POWERFUL HYPNOTOAD

I don't know what everone's talking about. It's not hy-ALL HAIL THE HIPNOTOAD!

This thread is dumb.

I mean ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD!

are you guys really playing this little ga....ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD

Naw, you can't use measurements of weight for both of...

...What? I can barely see anything in this damn mask!

ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD

Yeah, fuck bandwago- ALL HAIL THE GLORIOUS HYPNOTOAD

Zap time

what ep is this .gif from?

The thief of Baghead
Season 7 episode 4.

A pound is also half a kilo. Just saying.

not quite warp theory involves basically making a wave in spacetime and surfing on it the futurama warp drive involves moving the entire universe... but that is closer to correct then most science fiction

One pound can't weigh more than ten thousand pounds since well... one pound weighs one pound :p it's like saying "what weighs more, one pound feathers or 1 pound iron?" but both weigh equally as much :)

thank you
the dumb is leaving

wait I'm confused, the whole empty space is filled with nucleus's? or just the mass of one nucleus?

if all of that empty space had the same density as a nucleus. Or more specifically, a proton, which I believe (not completely sure on this) is the densest thing known to man at this point.

Isn't that why Neutron stars are so fucking heavy?

Gravity

Oh. Fucking Gravity, doing crazy shit I can't even

i know right...i had to thumb it down....what a lame post lol
