If the universe is expanding faster than the speed of light, explain why the stars in the sky are in the same positions, relative to eachother, as they were thousands of years ago.
Its a really amazing explanation that extends my knowledge, but, about whats inside and outside the "balloon", the past and the future......that is extremely confusing @_@
It's nowhere near as esoteric as you think. Imagine that you're driving down a highway. In front of you is the future, because that's where you're going to be. Behind you is the past, because that's where you were.
This is not accurate. We can only detect an infinitesimally small portion of the projected size of the universe. There is an event horizon forever beyond our knowledge.
The fastest speed attained is roughly 40,000 mph. by the "gravity sling" Otherwise I understand powered flight to be around 17,000 mph. This is due to fuel limitations. Even at 40,000 mph = 111 miles/second. Light is 186,000 miles per second. We currently can manage .000597371% of the speed of light.
There is physical limit of acceleration the human body will tolerate before g forces demolish you.
Thanks taters, I know, I know, Things get weird the closer to light speed you go. But as far as the future is concerned, who is to say what we can or can't do with new discoveries.
I do however agree with you. I have a special place in my heart for specious arguments.
Personally, I hoping to have some good artificial parts by the time my own biological ones wear out. And not all species are extint with no offspring or daughter species. I think our chances increase with the fact that very few things eat us.
Maybe, but if you are imagining some sort of insane apocolyptic war, there are usually winners and losers in combat. And isolated populations claiming neutrality. I agree that the environment can do a number on us, but again, we are not our ancestors, We could probably watch the whole world go nearly extint before we issue our last breath.
I am talking about historically to date. We were never a threat to the entire earth before the industrial rev. We are changing more rapidly then the rest of the animals of evolution can adapt. Hence the countless extinctions we have caused.
Also, don't we think neolithic americans devastated much (or all) of the North and South American mega-fauna, and who knows what other smaller tasty creatures.
what is inside of the ballon of the cosmos? Dark matter & dark energy.

Same concept. :D

I love the allusion to dogma in this flick.
In the future many current views of science will be considered dogma. We're human like that. :)

We will become extinct first.

Do I think of possibilities. You bet. :)
Given enough time we could very well achieve
many things. Fossil record don't bode well for us though. Species come and go.

"I think our chances increase with the fact that very few things eat us."
We are far more likely to eliminate ourselves than for another species to do it.
There are many basic environmental factors that can also do the job .

I say the next hundred years will be the decider
in terms of our danger to ourselves.
Twicebakedtaters 4 years ago
I think we are a constant danger to ourselves. But, being a fan of the "Darwin Awards", I am kinda thankful for that.
