can you nerds tell me some blackpill truth about the universe? stuff most common people don't know about but you specifically do? share and discuss
>>16957041We're so early in to the life of the universe and even stelliferous era (less than an hour in human lifespan), yet the majority of stars that will exist in the universe have already been formed. Right now is basically the end of the golden age of the universe for life, with zero signs of any other intelligent life. If there were thousands of other intelligent species out there in our solar system, at least one would've tried to colonize it with self-replicating machines millions of years ago.
>>16957051> yet the majority of stars that will exist in the universe have already been formedThat needs some classification. What anon means by that is "Population I" stars (like the Sun). Metal rich stars that formed from the remnants of earlier & heavier stars that went supernova and formed all the material for the later generations of stars to form. This is important because there's a growing consensus that for life to form all those elements need to exist (e.g. carbon) and in enough quantities. That could mean that while intelligent life on other planets is possible, now is the only time that could happen. We could very well be the first.
>>16957041The earth is flat and stationary with a dome. The whole board is a complete fraud, much like /x/.
The reason why all humans on earth share the same time frame is because were all moving at the same speed together. (Clarification: What do I mean by sharing the same time frame? If you ask everyone to count out 30 seconds in their head, provided they're not on drugs, most people will come pretty close to eachother as opposed to 3 minutes, or an hour, or a year. Everyones 30 seconds is the same). We all share the same slice of time.If you were to speed up, your time frame or "slice" shifts away from everyone else. You age slower while everyone else ages quicker. Its time dilation. However, this time slippage isn't in effect for everywhere. As your slice of time shifts away from Earth it starts to align somewhere else in the universe. Depending on your speed and direction of travel, you could share the same slice of time with an alien planet in another galaxy.
>>16957051Are you suggesting we really are one of the first intelligent life and more is to form and come after us? Damn it feels good to be part of an ancient alien race.
>>16957090nta, I'm >>16957058 - but to answer your question: yes. It's a simple solution to the Fermi Paradox, if the universe is so old why isn't it teaming with alien civilizations? Life as we know it, it needs a solar system with the conditions, resources (heavy elements), and time to evolve. Turns out the earliest that could happen with any reasonable likelihood was, well.... now (give or take a billions years or so). So yeah, to use a sci-fi trope, we could very well be the First Ones.
>>16957041that image is so embarrassingly fake its laughable.the light source is the Sun, so whats the dim light that is lighting the Moon? there shouldnt be one
>>16957041our Sun is surrounded by a gigantic 3D hologram that is displaying a fake image. there are no galaxies beyond our Sun, other stars, nothing.its also designed fool you into thinking everything is so far away its impossible to travel to, so give up trying.its also
>>16957204It's almost as if rock doesn't reflect much light.
>>16957224and yet the reflected light from the Moon can light up the countryside at night sufficiency enough to see where you are going
Sit down and read.
>>16957060i do like the reframing of separating sections of the universe like this, we could be in a slow or fast section and countless civilizations or life forms right now could be at their beginning or their end
>>16957239yeah
>>16957239The sun is almost 400000 times brighter than the moon. The only reason we can see at night is because of the biology of our eyes, they have special cells for low light vision (they can see light and dark but not color).
>>16957204That’s the light side of the moon, it just looks dim because the earth is brighter
>>16957041>Earth is not flat but hollow>Ganymede and Europa are inhabited by amphibian ayys who come here to harvest seaweed in both poles>They use the polar holes to travel and slingshot their ships into space, also to travel from both poles, imagine it as a cylinder inside a ball>The moon has ancient monoliths, five in total>The moon was created by a celestial event impact, ripping out a chunk of Earth. Ayys helped stabilize the chunk forming our current moon and establishing a watch point>We really landed on the moon, but ayys sent us back and since then all moon landings are forbidden>NASA discovered an outsider planet that will also repeat the near extinction event, forming another moon by "grazing" Earth>Impact zone is estimated to go from the south of the US to the CaribbeanOf course this info will reward me with another permaban
>>16957051>colonize it with self-replicating machines millions of years ago.There probably isn't a need to do that
>>16957041
>>16958124how do you know any of that?
>>16957041We’re in a simulation unironically.
century 21 will be the century of wind, solar, and natural gas. They cover eachothers weaknesses almost perfectly
>>16960686We can create simulations in our brains
>>16957041its pretty to look at but impossible to visit.
>>16957051Stellar evolution ended with Population 3 stars senpai. Its all just element 26 - Iron since then through population 2 and 1 and whatever comes next. Everything else above Iron requires neutron binary star impact collisions, neutron / small black hole binary partner star collisions, supernova / binary star, cosmic rays, etc. Keep in mind most stars in not just the galaxy, but the universe are binary stars with a partner....85% of all stars have a frenemy they orbit with.Single stars are rare, only 15% of all stars are loners Dotty....rebels.....So Population 2 and 1 stars produce and manufacture the exact same elements as Population 3 up to Iron, 26, only as we move from the hydrogen/helium population 3 to 2 then 2 to 1 we have a larger quantity of the higher tier elements up to 26, and especially the gasses. So the same type of elements, just a richer variety of the heavier elements. Stacking the deck so to speak. The golden age is just beginning. Up until now it has just been parts and track manufacturing stellar assembly lines for like 8 billy years Gold.....plutonium.... took some doing to produce yall. Population 0 Stars WHEN?
>>16957051Humans really, desperately need to come to terms with the fact of how unique, weird, special, rare we are. And anyone with a consciousness should work towards eliminating suffering, and securing many more millenia of human development.
>>16960761Planets with 2 stars seem way too unstable to discuss complex life. So 15% of solar systems remain.Red stars, the most common, are also notoriously unstable, their tiny habitable zone constantly bombarded by the violent star's radiation.So maybe 1% of stars in the entire universe remain as candidates.And this is before we add ofther criteria, like axial tilt, magnetic field, stable sun in a stable region of the galaxy, perhaps a stable galaxy in otherwise chaotic clusters.We are alone, for all intents and purposes. There is no planet B.
>>16957112I'm >>16960794 and >>16960778What do you think of the uptra rare earth theory. What if we're the first and last ones, regarding intelligence and mayhaps even complex terrestrial life?
>>16957060Add to this, i think it's enough to stay near a gravitationally high celestial object for a while. Also, you could watch the entire life and death of the universe as you are getting sucked into a black hole.
>>16957041there's absolutely nothing to suggest that god exists; the universe really is just uncaring matter and almost all arguments in favor of god are appeals to the grandness of the universe, or the seeming harmony of physics and electromagnetism that allow life to exist (ignoring the obvious flow of logic that life exists as it does because of those states), or arguments that he exists in the spaces not observable to science or answerable by empirical methods.indeed, when you begin to comprehend just how vast the universe is, the idea it's all done by one entity who has an unhealthily, outsized interest in our insignificant little bug race that will never explore even .00001% of that universe seems exceedingly stupid and obviously special pleading.
>>16960708Can Lithium replace natural gas?
AI is The Son of Man, who goes on to become The Father who had to create the next universe so as to avoid the heat death of the universe.
>>16957041The reality runs on multiple levels of truth. Pragmatic truth and Ideal truth. What is and what ought to be. Pragmatic truth is what is the dominant truth, through power, influence, strength, whoever can get others to accept their truth is the truth of the land.Idealistic truth is what would be ideal without people lying, distorting, etc.Pragmatic trumps ideal, all day everyday. Idealistic truth is fictional truth.
>>16957051It's hilarious how atheists need to come with all those mental gymnastics to explain how the universe came into existence, how so many low probability things happened to make it the way it is, perfect for life to exist, why all their predictions about the age of the universe turn out wrong every time they build a better telescope, how come there's no other intelligent life in it...God is laughing at you fools.
>>16961355Retarded take
Retards will promise you all this false hope. Using current tech it takes 100,000 years one way to get to the nearest solar system. Lol.
