How Big is Space ??

[pythoncancer]

Beautiful future interactive thread by BBC Even Iranian space monkey got its place that was successfully launched into space in December 2013

[IdolEyes787]

Big.

Slightly smaller than Mary's ego but still big.

Also as much as I approve,I think it's considered racist to call Iranians, "monkeys".

[piercerseth]

Current diameter is estimated at around 93 B LY.

I'm all for an Iranian space program using rickety-ass communist era rockets and an astronaut corps comprised entirely of ayatollahs and imams. They have the right stuff.

This is a really neat flash app: http://htwins.net/scale2/

Very Very BIG!!!:cool:
And the Monkeys currently lead the would in executions!! Bad Monkeys!!

[rajun50]

If the universe were scaled down to the size of Earth, the Earth would be so small that you couldn't see it with a microscope. So yeah, big would be an understatement.

[mjmacky]

Current diameter is estimated at around 93 B LY.

Just like my ego, space is expanding at an accelerating rate.

[Biggles]

Current diameter is estimated at around 93 B LY.




Not that big I suppose but I wouldn't want to have to give it two coats.

[TheFoX]

Current diameter is estimated at around 93 B LY.

Just like my ego, space is expanding at an accelerating rate.

But which one is bigger?

[mjmacky]

Just like my ego, space is expanding at an accelerating rate.

But which one is bigger?

Your mom

[TheFoX]

But which one is bigger?

Your mom

Answer the question.

[mjmacky]

Your mom

Answer the question.

Your mom is always the answer.

[megabyteme]

Answer the question.

Your mom is always the answer.

Just like the TARDIS, she seems bigger on the inside. :yup:

[TheFoX]

What is 2 + 2?

Your mom

I see what you mean.

[mjmacky]

Your mom is always the answer.

Just like the TARDIS, she seems bigger on the inside. :yup:

:lol:

I don't seem to have nearly enough cupboard space so logic tells me space is smaller than the sum of my cookware.

You must be afraid of stacking.

8 half inches sounds about right

Space is sooo big that if you chose one direction and travel in that way billions billions years faster than light speed you will end at same place where you start.

[mjmacky]

Space is sooo big that if you chose one direction and travel in that way billions billions years faster than light speed you will end at same place where you start.

Sounds more like the progress you make in life

[fossi]

We can't tell, really. Like a ship in the empty ocean, astronomers on Earth can turn their telescopes to peer 13.8 billion light-years in every direction, which puts Earth inside of an observable sphere with a radius of 13.8 billion light-years. The word "observable" is key; the sphere limits what scientists can see but not what is there.

But though the sphere appears almost 28 billion light-years in diameter, it is far larger. Scientists know that the universe is expanding. Thus, while scientists might see a spot that lay 13.8 billion light-years from Earth at the time of the Big Bang, the universe has continued to expand over its lifetime. Today, that same spot is 46 billion light-years away, making the diameter of the observable universe a sphere around 92 billion light-years.

[g2thes]

Space may not be infinitely big, but it's so big that you would never know the difference. It's so big that anything that could logically exist must exist somewhere.

[teflon05]

It's my opinion that since no one really knows what space is exactly, that there's no way anyone can accurately gauge how big it is. For all anyone knows, this might only be one universe in a multitude of universes. I highly doubt the question will be answered in our lifetimes, if ever.

Then again a hill of beans probably looks big to an ant,Einsteins.

[gptwarrior]

space is endless surely cant predict size??

[TheFoX]

space is endless surely cant predict size??

You can predict anything you want. People predict next weeks lottery numbers, what the weather is going to be over the next five days, and whether share prices will rise or fall.

A prediction is simply the opinion of someone as to how something will pan out. Many things can be predicted, based on current scientific knowledge. Since we know how fast light travels, so it is quite easy to work out the distance from one galactic object to another.

[megabyteme]

I predict Oleg will not have secks (with another human) before the end of the universe.

[IdolEyes787]

I read bits of Elliot Rodgers manifesto.I wouldn't be poking at OlegL if I was you.
Of course you might still be safe because apparently good looking people with satisfying sex lives are the worst offenders to this particular type of lunatic.

Btw interesting how Rodgers felt he had to "plan everything to perfection so that nothing could go wrong" and then he ended up not doing a single thing he planned.

[TheFoX]

I asked a scientist if she could give me an idea of how vast space was, and her answer was that we take the distance from Oleg's left ear to Oleg's right ear, double it, then double it again, and that will give you the answer you seek. Just goes to show how vast the cavity in his head is. I wouldn't be surprised if the entire contents our our galaxy and all those we know of, and don't know of, would fit within the cavity with space to spare.

[megabyteme]

Now we have a concept of size, time comes into the equation. I heard if you find the midpoint between an Englishman's dental visits, you've surpassed it. :idunno:

[Something Else]

I reckon it's about this big.

143872

[Barbarossa]

Space is all sizes.

[Mr. Mulder]

My family told me 5 and a half years ago they need their space from me and they're about 300 miles away, so that would be your answer :eyebrows:

To be even more accurate, 5 and a half years divided by 300 miles, carry the 1, times Richard Whitely then add the remainder still gives you 300 miles.

So there you have it :smilie4:

[TheFoX]

Yeah, but that's just One Direction. (boom boom)

No wonder it is so fucking tight around here. :huh:

you can't make a play on that? fox my ass, more like a stone with opinions.

[TheFoX]

I can make a play on anything I fucking like. As for foxing your arse, I'll leave that to someone with experience in anal penetration, and a cock small enough not to split you in two.

Ah ... yes ..., good old science

[happyhead]

well i will ave to think on this one?

Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned
A sun that is the source of all our power

The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
Are moving at a million miles a day
In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour
Of the galaxy we call the 'milky way'

Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars
It's a hundred thousand light years side to side
It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick
But out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide

We're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point
We go 'round every two hundred million years
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding universe

The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whizz
As fast as it can go, the speed of light, you know
Twelve million miles a minute and that's the fastest speed there is

So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure
How amazingly unlikely is your birth
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space
'Cause there's bother all down here on Earth
:)

[lance55433]

so space is big??

Speed is relative to a given point. If it is a fixed point, you can calculate speed accurately, with reference to that given point. If the point is fluid, floating, or otherwise mobile, then speed is more of a differential. Two cars are traveling at 50 mph. If they are traveling in the same direction, then the speed of the first vehicle relative to the second vehicle is 0 mph, yet if they are traveling in exact opposite directions, either towards or away from each other, the speed of the first vehicle relative to the second is then 100 mph.

The problem with your own calculations is that much of it is assumptions. The assumption that a galactic central point exists, and that it exists where you think it exists can easily distort your own figures. Remember than spacial calculations are based on current experience and our observations of the galaxy from this little part of it. No one from Earth has actually mapped the galaxy, so what we believe about our galaxy is purely based on mathematics, and not hard evidence.

Our scientists may be good, but they are not THAT good. After all, if they knew everything, what would be the point in continual education and advancement. New concepts and ideas are discovered every single day. We are currently on the eve of understanding DNA and how it affects our growth; it won't be long before our scientists will master DNA and modify it, for better or worse.

Soon, we'll send a man to Mars, and start populating the Moon. All this is to be achieved, yet it is within our sights. How many hundreds of years before we finally explore the outer sections of our solar system? After all, it took us thousands of years just to explore this planet, and there are still areas unexplored by man.

[themattler]

Even if not infinite, at it's borders it's expanding faster than the speed of light so there are places we will never ever be able to reach

[usekitty]

really really really big ;)

[TheFoX]

Even if not infinite, at it's borders it's expanding faster than the speed of light so there are places we will never ever be able to reach

Yes, but there are places on Earth that we, as individuals, would never be able to reach. If we started exploring at 18 years of age, after a basic education, and providing money was no object, do you think we could experience everything this world has to offer? Do you even know your own country from top to tail? Besides, the majority of space is simply empty, devoid of everything including an atmosphere. Why bother with all this useless space.

[IdolEyes787]

Yeah I see you're point.Like just the other day I went to this new restaurant downtown.Totally not worth it.

[ckrit]

really really really big ;)

That's what she said.

[Sandk]

really really big... really?

[zerosquared]

Infinite.

[TheFoX]

Infinite.

Can anyone comprehend what it must be like to set off in one direction and to never come to an end. Imagine living for billions of years and traveling at the speed of light, or faster, and never encountering a border?

I think the word, 'infinite', doesn't even come close to describing the universe. I mean, if you set off on foot around our globe, and could walk on water, even though you would walk forever in a circle, you would still pass the same spot you started at time and time again. In space, you'd never pass that same spot.

It is quite feasible to expect other life within this massive universe, and to also expect that these other life forms never to meet. The vastness of space is beyond comprehension.

[megabyteme]

It's not that the universe is so big, we are just really small. Think about that.

[IdolEyes787]

Substitute "universe" with "wife'' and you've just described your sex life.

[megabyteme]

My sexual motto: It's not about her. :no:

[TheFoX]

Substitute "universe" with "wife'' and you've just described your sex life.

Why did you have to be so mean? You denigrate yourself with this lowest level of whit, which is something we should not have to put up with. We expect more of you, and you should be complying with our needs, being ex staff and all that.

[IdolEyes787]

Ignoring the fact that I wasn't being mean(Don't believe me?Then try asking the person that little bon mot was aimed at) ,you could make a good argument that your tedious and antiseptic posts bother/disappoint/don't comply with my needs me equally as much so I think the best response to your concerns is "physician heal thyself".

Space is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.

[MonkeyBusiness]

Space is big, but SPACE is even bigger :rolleyes:

There is a theory that what we see in the sky every night and what astronauts have identified is the old universe. We are billions of years behind the real universe. Therefore, it is impossible to know exactly what the universe really is)

We won't likely know for sure anytime soon, so.

I reject the term Republican; it is too round, and limiting, too.

I am a pure-hearted Renaissance Conservative.

The Mexicans I know are all honest, hard-working fellows just like me.

The ones not-worth-knowing I leave to my Democrat urban brethren.

"The lie that was capitalism, in truth, produced just the opposite of what it promised people. The prole never became a capitalist. The capitalist never became a civilized and democratic person. Everyone did not have a better life. Worst of all, the winners were not the noble and just. They were, and are, the indecent and obscene, the disgraceful and the predatory — the Trumps of the world".
