Great hubble video how can we be alone?

www.youtube.com...

Enjoy it gave me goosebumbs.

it does really put things into perspective. Civilizations who do use the vastness of space, and understand its system, must have a type of consiousness that we could probably not understand. The "what if" is as much brain capacity we can pull together right now. everthing we know is based on "rules" that we just made up through observation.

this is a very very nice clip , not something i should at watched at this time at work i'll be thinking about nothing else the rest of the day.

I think the "we're a sandcorn on a beach" comparison does fit quite well now.


thank you so much for this link

FiFtEeN thank you for reminding others and myself how small we are in this gigantic universe. I always forget that we are so small that its unbelievable and hard to understand and comprehend, but forget about it. I enjoyed the video, and I got a boost of interest for deep space astronomy research! To think about it, what of other universes than this one? What about thinking that a universe is just of many billion of something much bigger. That is out of my mind to think about.

You are so welcome.It is amazing how tiny we are in the picture.To try to understand the numbers is just mind blowing.It has kept me up a many nights for a large part of my life.But it makes me wonder why we were almost hidin from the rest almost like we were cast out.It seems others are so close to one another.

he said our universe is "seventy-eight billion" light years across.....well then whats on the edge?? Is there a wall... a hall moniter? "Under construction signs"? It doesnt make sense...it like they just make that figure up...I think that the universe is endless personally.

Wow. Very impressive perspective. No possible way that we can be alone, and no possible way that we can even remotely think that.

On a lighter side...fat guy dancing to "Numa Numa" ????

that video was amazing... i was in awe of everything i saw! It perplexes me as to how so many people can outright deny the existence of other intelligent life when there is this sort of information out there... how can there NOT be!?!? So many galaxys etc in one relatively small area of space, surely out there somewhere there must be other civilisations. This video leaves no doubt in my mind as to the existence of "alien" life... there can't not be!.. (if that makes sense!) Thankyou so much for bringing this video to light.

When I first saw this thread, I thought to myself that it belongs in the Space Exploration forum, not Aliens and UfO's, but when I watched the video, I think FiFtEeN had it in the right forum after all.

Thanks to everyone who liked it.It is hard to even think that we a tiny spec in the giant picture are the only life out of 78 billion light yrs of space.I also agree that space must go on forever not end.

Great posting Sir, fully enjoyed the UTube.
Again, it shows how small our troubles are
and how there could well be other life out there.

I've often scratched my head over what's after
the edge of the universe. I struggle because my
mind exists in a reality with limits and of course,
that's a poor instrument to reach for the stars with.

Anyway, great post.

Thanks for the link FiFtEeN ! Excellent Video

I am always amazed by the awsome pictures Hubble Space Telescope has provided
us over the years.

I don't care what the Non-believers say, but we are definitely not alone in this vast Universe.


Toogood

Some of those numbers fry my brain

And to think that people look on the ones that believe in UFO's as bonkers

Maybe this is why they won't tell us anyting, it is simply just too confusing for joe public. 'Yeah, we are not alone, there are atleast 100 million other intelligent lifeforms out there....blah blah blah' Can you imagine the panic??

Frankly, I CAN NOT!!! I don't understand why so many people say that NASA (and ALL the other space agencies in the world) is hideing things about life out there just because people are not prepaired for it! And suddenly releasing such an information will create panic waves all over the world (so they need to release only tiny bits of information)!
This is just like the Y2K bug... so much fuss for nothing...

Maybe you can understand a little better now that there are also many different realities ..... we just aren't open enough to understand/accept them.

Very nice

Thank you for the link, Fifteen.

I've passed it on to friends.

The Earth society is still working in the money era, the government probably doesn't want to loose it's wealth through taxes, lol.

Here is a number for you all.

Life exists on earth.

Means life can exist on other planets.

At even the smallest chance of life forming on other plannets.

Multiply that number by the expance of the univers which is infinate.

Thus, stating (Chance of life forming) multiplied by (Infinate univers) equals (Infinate life)

Incredible!!!

Great Find..

Semper

Now think of this:

For arguments sake, lets imagine that primitive life happens once in the lifetime of a trillion galaxies, and out of those only one in a trillion ever evolves out of its womb planet into a space-faring civilization.

In this example then we are still left with an astounding 10 to the par 75 advanced societies - more alien cultures than the number of atoms composing planet Earth!

Again, for some perspective on such a gargantuan number, there are more advanced civilizations partying it up around the galaxies than there are atoms in every single grain of sand on all the beaches and deserts in the world, and then some!!

More....


New bank of galaxies found by Hubble.
Imagine, it would take you millions of years
to travel between these 'dots' at light speed!
Phew! It's THAT big!!
So, do you guys have the idea now? To put it in a nutshell-

WE ARE NOT ALONE!! Cheers!

P.S. FiFtEeN, that was a good find. Makes one feel small, doesn't it?
