Parents: the universe doesn't revolve around you!

"shows them this post"

CLOSE ENOUGH

13 billion years into the past?

wait, so the universe is basically a timeline of itself? what a mindfuck.

omg omg omg i love the fact that if we get an incredibly powerful telescope we may actually be able to witness the big bang happening..

actually, we already know Who the center of the universe is. His first name is Chuck. dare i speak His Last Name?

One thing that really confuses me, is to what the universe is expanding into. If you think about it, space is really just nothingness filled with planets, so if the space is expanding into another space wouldn't it just be the same size? I'm sure you have a better idea than me Dakunism.

If you do believe in the big bang, in which case you dont believe that God created the universe, then heres a comeback you can throw at a Catholic. If they say "oh so what, the big bang just happened out of no where, just for no reason?" just say, "well thats no argument. i could say the same thing about God, how he just appeared one day."
this happened to me one time and i thought of the comeback later and was like FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

I always think of my comebacks after the arguments are over.

id like to know about uranus

The Big Bang theory stipulates that the center of the universe is the point which was the epicenter of the bang. Space then expanded (and continues to expand) from that point, in every direction (the universe is spherical).

Alternate theories are alot more fun though:
-Multiverse (lots of different multiverse theories)
-Expand/Collapse (big bang -> expansion -> critical density -> contraction -> big bang) cyclical
-Inverse Universe (basically, there are two universes, in which the physics of each are the exact opposites of the other)

This comment is probably just going out to deaf ears, but... Darkunism, you really don't understand the theory of relativity enough to be talking about it.

"Einstein never said anything about objects that may already be traveling at the speed of light."

Einstein actually covered all his bases; I believe the point you tried to make here is that, if a car is going near the speed of light, then the photons from its headlights would be going at TWICE the speed of light. However, the whole basis for the theory of relativity (and the Lorentz transformation) is that, relative to both the driver of the car and a person on the sidewalk, the light from the headlights is ALWAYS going at the speed of light. I'm out of words, but you get the idea.

BRILLIANT. i daresay that you sir may have cracked a theory *twiddles mustache*
User avatar #269 - FannyFart (05/06/2010) [-]
You sir, have made me learn somthing today that dosent include Justin Beiber and gerbils
User avatar #267 - Jimmydingdong (05/06/2010) [-]
Trying... not... to.....learn.....noooooooooooooooooo
#245 - N. Korean citizen (05/06/2010) [+] (1 reply)
the speed of light is relative, in a car travelling at the speed of light the light from the headlights will be travelling at the speed of light relative to you, thats the entire point of relativity.

einstein never stated that my jizz could never travel the speed of light



cuz if he did... he would be mistaken
User avatar #135 - AwesomesaursRex (05/05/2010) [+] (1 reply)
MIND FUCK: The speed of light is relevant. Scientists asked each other...
"If one was traveling at the speed of light, and held up a mirror, would he see his reflection?"
ANSWER: YES. Regardless of the fact that you're going the speed of light, the speed of light remains constant. That means in the distance from your face to the mirror would be the speed of light!

Which makes sense when you think of it. Because if the above were not true, we would be blind when we reached the speed of light.

I like these pictures because I'm basicly learning while I'm on Funny Junk, and I'd rather do this then go to school. Make more pwease ;3
User avatar #53 - luidias (05/05/2010) [-]
@ fact 1: light is not a projectile. its velocity is not relative to an already travelling object. if that were true, you could walk forward holding a flashlight and the speed of light would be faster than it should be by the speed that you are walking.

tl;dr it doesn't work like that.

the stuff about tachyons is a potentially correct theory, tho.

this is so cool, im so fascinated by all of this, and all of your other posts aswell, are you studying physics?
#5 - chenzmack (05/05/2010) [-]
Yeah i've been loving this whole series so i say definitely keep it coming or branch off into specific sub categories like planets or whatever but i like the paradox stuff or like the Tachyons thats the stuff i like to learn about

i love this! thank you :D
