cosmic voyage to elsewhere : The scale of the Universe

[TopGear6666]

Damn I wanted to see it zooming out to homers eyeball :)

[Aztpal]

Потрясающе!!!

song Vangelis - Elsewhere

[Dafidd]

why do i feel so small now? :-(

[AugustusAurelianus1]

Humanity should feel HUMBLED by its sheer insignificance...

And... this video only displays what is Known! and only about THIS universe!!!

According the M-Theory, there is an infinite number of infinite parallel universe floating in something indescribably big... Such scales make me laugh at the ignorance and pettiness of man, self-delusional by its own "importance... Great VIDEO!.

[adri1430]

@AugustusAurelianus1 @fabianoasc - No...definitely we are NOT the center of the universe! lol Thank you both for sharing this MAGNIFICENT VIDEO! You know, very well, how much I LOVE this...

[3shacks1house]

@AugustusAurelianus1 I could not agree more.

[IlikemusicI]

there are so many scientific facts for the big bang and none of the bible facts are proper. so I think it's all begon with some primordial matter, and just the fact that it started with that is so scary. because if the earth was just moved a few degrees, or was hit a bit different there was no life on earth. It all seems perfectly planned or is it just luck?

im not english nor american so don't blame my faults:)

[MultiUniv3rsal]

Somewhere around 2 minutes I thought I was watching the beginning of Time Bandits.

Good stuff.

[nickharvey7]

Nice video!!

The Universe looks like an infinity to me

[motokeiru]

God's creation hum? You don't even know what it is or how far it can go but you already know who's created it and how, awsome.

Anyway great video just beautiful

[gigantica321]

@motokeiru

And You don't know how the CPU of your computer works but you probably know the name of its manufacturer!

[ToastyMer]

Is not God's creation beautiful? Scary, yet beautiful. Thanks for sharing this =).

[wretcherwretch]

I find this one of the most powerful arguments against god, actually ;)

[bentsimon]

If this is god's creation why were all the scientific facts left out of the bible?

Also, you have no proof. Not that I can prove otherwise.

Just the fact that we are alive on this rock is amazing enough for me - it's a miracle in its on right, regardless of religion.

[3shacks1house]

@ToastyMer I don't think one God can handle a universe of such vastness. No, it is something greater than any one God.

[MCneun]

@3shacks1house

God! There is no [other]god but He,-the Living, the Self-subsisting, Eternal. No slumber can seize Him nor sleep. His are all things in the heavens and on earth....

...He knoweth what (appeareth to His creatures as) Before or After or Behind them. Nor shall they compass aught of His knowledge except as He willeth. His Throne doth extend over the heavens and the earth, and He feeleth no fatigue in guarding and preserving them for He is the Most High, the Supreme

[Qur'an: 2:255]

[alex29443]

@MCneun I hope you're a troll - there is just no way that you can just attribute the entire universe to a personal god (such as the abrahamic god)

That argument is utterly undermined by the scale which this video describes - quite frankly - there is no reason whatsoever for him/her/it to make so much, the milky way would have been more than enough - and what if they find aliens who believe in a different god - why wouldn't allah apread his message there or make them in his image?

[MCneun]

@alex29443 the biggest problem of the mankind is that they cant imagine that there could exist a God which is Allknowing without seeing him, i understand you but i suggest read the Quran and youll see things written that they are just discovered since last century! God says for example:

[Quran 21.30] Do not those who disbelieve see that the heavens and the Earth were meshed together then We ripped them apart? And then We made of water everything living? Would they still not believe?

[alex29443]

@MCneun the idea that the 'heaven' ie the stars where once joined together and then came appart is an idea which FAR pre-dates the qur'an. as is the idea that we and the land where raised up from the oceans.

both are pagan ideas which are far older than even early judaism. you have twist them to make them fit astro-physics and evolution. and if that is the best scientific quote you have it's kinda pathetic.

I have nothing against religious faith, but it is a bit silly to say it's true

[MCneun]

@alex29443 For sure they could be other creations like aliens, and Quran and Bible say it clearly that it exist other unvisible creations like Angels which are created from light and Jinns from the flame of fire which they atoms move over the speed of light so that humankind cant see them or feel them.

If the scientist arent able to detect Jinns which they live here on our earth, what the fuck are you curios to discover other planets of universe to find ''Aliens'' 

[suckmeballsalot]

@ToastyMer WOW, god must have a gigantic asshole if he blew that out of his ass. What other kinda bullshit story you have to share? god created man? LMFAO HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! dumb shit.

[LcoolJfiveoh]

lets check out INNER SPACE now...

rewind back to earth and further to 1 person, which is made up of millions and millions of cell molecuell's

go further and each one of those cell's are put together with millions of building blocks known as Atoms,

go further and discover that there are millions of smaller building blocks that make 1 atom,

and there are building blocks that make THOSE

(maybe our universe is simply 1 of millions of building blocks for something bigger)

possibly something living?

[abtjulias]

lol i didn't know atoms were made up of tiny building blocks wow.

[marlothedrugmule]

@LcoolJfiveoh i was thinkin the same but couldnt put it into words, it would be crazy if thats wot it was tho, if that was the case, the atoms that make up humans could actually have something that harbours inteligent life like humans, lol that sounds crazy but u no wot i mean?

[steveo1964]

Because its powers of 10 you simply times each circle by the previous one, you also increase speed exponentially by the same factor otherwise it would take 10 billion years to complete the animation and after 20 mins you would be bored to death.

[davidewetube]

nice, but why is the labeling so inconsistent? Sometimes the distance of a circle is noted, others not.

[TexanCyclist]

Thank you for the wonderful voyage & a shout out to johnhart30 for the share.

[gavinmacmounsey]

Like it or not, if you look at your own mind you will discover it is void and groundless; as insubstantial as empty space.

-Padma Sambhava

[hoadmaback]

And thats just the 'visible' universe.

I cant believe a creator could create something the magnitude our universe is, - And yet still needs people to 'spread his word' here on earth.

[orelsi1000]

There is no such thing as a god. It is a way for the people with no brains to cope with the fear of the uknown, because they don't have the capacity to understand it in any other way.

[hoadmaback]

Word!

[refresh967]

god is real and a pray youll know the truth.Amen

[majorvoltage]

If you are an advocate for primitive superstition then why do you use a computer to look up videos about science?

[marlothedrugmule]

@refresh967 maybe thats y we have such a bad time on earth, god is too busy keeping an eye on all them other millions of planets

[dafranx]

i love this video, it's beautiful. i'm very fascinated by the beauty of space. :D

[HatshepsutPan]

I have viewed this video several times and I think it is awesome, and as you stated...it is incredible to know or see a glimpse of just how small we are in relation to the extent of the entire universe...it amazes me that poeple can think that Earth is the "world" in final.

[johnhart30]

simply amazing.

[Madguten]

kewl vidski

[richtea87]

amazing video. what's the name of the song?

[looooooooooor]

elsewhere

[RijenRijen]

the got a LHC in mexico to ?? :S and wtf why the cant make a picture from our galaxy but the can from others.... and geeees i think our galaxy is full with life the insainity big omg why i live in this time :( i want to live 5000years later :P the knowlege need to be insian than if we not all die in 2012 : /

[Freek0ne]

Can you take a picture of a building WHILE you are inside it ? We've barely made it to the Moon. Going outside our own galaxy might take more than 5000 years. But who knows ... :)

[gJonii]

More like 600 years.

[R0binv]

LOL you didn't really think that Italy was Mexico did you... XD

[CaptainZ1627]

That last picture was not the milky way - we have not made it that far yet. That's a picture of a similar galaxy

[philocosmos]

You're absolutely right. In fact, it's neither the photo of Milky Way nor any other real galaxy. It's just a fancy (scientific) picture simulated by localizing thousands of stars in the Milky Way(MW).Of course, this picture is now obsolete. New data from Spitzer telescope, suggests a brand new shape for MW. Check it out in the links I send in the next comment.

and thanks for your good comment.

[philocosmos]

Sorry, youtube does not allow me to include links in my comments. so if you want a direction to the new picture obtained, go to the website of "Astronomy Picture of The Day" (just search internet for the name) and then go to the page written on 2008 July 11, or just click on the search button at the bottom of the page and search for "The Far 3kpc Arm " that will direct you to the page I meant.

[HatshepsutPan]

I think your video postings are fantastic, thank you...also I went to the site and could not find an entry for July 11...but there are some great photos to enjoy so thank you for the information.

[islamkoonem]

Thank you!
