Large Quasar Group (LQG) Discovered Largest Structure in Universe Discovered: http://l1.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/_t...d40be86d21beb5 Quote:
Quasars are essentially the escaping energy generated outside the event horizon of a super-massive black hole. The escaping energy is propelled vertically by gravitational stresses and immense friction of incoming material towards the black hole, making Quasars the most luminous, powerful, and energetic objects known in the universe. |
People can believe what they want to believe.. Its good to have hope in something Posted via RS Mobile |
All the more reason to believe in a being greater than anything we know. Because, you know.... no one + nothing = everything, right? (big bang theory) Quote:

For me: Science, how; "God", why. Quote:

I'm agnostic, I'm open to something greater than us. I know I'll get laughed at, but I saw a floating, wet black ball once at Hycroft manor. I'm not fucking kidding! It was weird! Never seen anything like it since. |
I wonder if I'll live to see actual, affordable commercial space travel take off, a la sci-fi. I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I sure as hell would love to take a trip to space. Must be all that Macross I've watched. |
4 billion light years across at the widest spot? :fulloffuck: I can't even wrap my head around a scale that big. |
more surprises to come |

Jump to 10²³.⁹ 4 billion light years = 37.8421136 yottameters :fulloffuck: |
To the un-initiated, it's worth noting that these measurements have been taken from information that has travelled an incredible amount of years to reach the point as to where we could actually take notes. So when they take notes on this kind of structure, they have to account for the fact that the light information took so long to get here, meaning that they have to add it (years of age) to the findings that they reviewed regarding it's age according to the light information alone. So however far away it is in light years, is how much age you have to add to it, on top of the age you estimate it to be in the initial review of the information. We have the wonderful ability to see the past, fuck I love space. |

Yep - first thing that came to my mind was: :fulloffuck: |
I just get so dumbfounded when it comes to the Universe, how complex and vast it is and how puny we are. Yet we (or rather I) always think that the universe revolves around us.. a wake up call every now and then is much appreciated. On another note, what are your opinions on this video? |
I get failed by Alatar and Hondaracer, yet they are too simple minded to post up their own thoughts on the subject? I've been used to being judged for my beliefs all my life and a few "FAILS" on a car forum aren't going to bother me. Just FYI ;). |
here's my thought, there is no god. and if there is, it's a good thing he builds men in his image that put bullets in 8 year olds chests :badpokerface: |
lol i doubt that's the biggest thing in our universe. when it comes to "existence" in the cosmos, the scale of something is irrelevant. depending on your perspective, 4 billion light years across could be microscopic compared to some of the larger things that exist. like a fractal, you can zoom in forever, and zoom out forever. there's always something smaller and always something bigger. at ANY level. it's infinite both ways. just like time. infinite, forward, and backwards. there is no beginning, and no end. this applies to god. everything above your level is a god. and everything above their level is a god to them. and so on and so forth, infinitely. you can never reach the top tier, because it does not exist. and you can never reach the bottom, because that, does not exist either. |
Can't we have a conversation about space without getting into the existence (or not) of God(s)? :( |

all of existence. not just our universe. all universes, and existence in the physical, spiritual, metaphysical realms, and beyond that. ALL of existence, of anything, in ANY realm, in ANY dimension. you may have a hard time grasping what ALL of existence means. If you don't get it, there is no explanation that can satisfy you. you have no idea what you are talking about. Quote:
so there's the observable universe, which lies within our universe, correct? and our universe is expanding right? and what medium is it expanding in? I don't care what you say, but it exists. the universe is living proof of something larger than it is. and beyond that medium? and beyond that medium? and beyond that medium? and we're only talking about the physical world. don't limit yourself to what you can see and measure. to the frog in the well, the well, is the universe. you are that frog. |

I'll fail you again if there's the assumption that someone choosing to not to post, or to post later when they have more time means they're "simple minded". |

To put things into perspective, the previous record holder for the largest structure was the Sloan Great Wall, at 1.38 billion years in diameter - Sloan Great Wall - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
Which sort of brings me back to my point of "In our lifetimes we'll never explore even the tiniest corner of our huge universe". I really don't understand the point of bickering about how big it is or isn't; it comes back to how big we can think. Our brains are molecularly tiny compared to the cosmos, so what's out there is quite probably larger than we can comprehend. Bask in the beauty, motherfuckers. |
it is very apparent a lot of you have no idea how far theoretical physics has come. |
The immense stupidity in some of the comments I see is astonishing. I don't know why this moronic OP is laughing at people who believe in God either. Two categories of people that annoy me. Overzealous religious people and dumbfuck Atheists who talk about science when they know nothing. What was supposed to be an amazing discovery for all of us to marvel at regardless of whether you believe in God or not, was steered into some pointless religious discussion by the retard.
