ah look at me im gettin carried away, but its how i see things, no human can say this is how we came to be and this is what happens when we die, and thats all those religious books do, the bible, quran etc etc its all bullshit.
@Brady2k10 I disagree completely. Our scientists are doing the best they can with the little funding they get from government. We have incredible theories backed up with mountains of data, some which hasn't even been fully analyzed.
@MINN3APOLIS well you can disagree all you want, we havent even touched the surface yet and we got all these scientists thinking they know everything, its bullshit
@Brady2k10 The only people who get in the way are the religious ones who still think the Earth is only 10,000 years old and that human beings are still the center of the universe. Those are the people you should be calling ignorant.
@MINN3APOLIS no ill call all religious people ignorant, they flock to it because its an easy answer for them, they are ignorant to believe such nonsense like we're something special and we are the only ones around in this massive universe, its nonsense and i wont respect it and i will call them ignorant, because they are ignorant.
all im saying is, something or someone started the big bang and this universe i dont claim to know what it is, so why do all these ignorant religeous people think they are right, they cant be right, there brains want an anwer so they flock to the best sounding one, oh jesus saved us blh blah, allah will send us to paradise blah blah sure he will. There stupid brains dont realise that religion is all fake nonsense, to think someone knows how things work when we die is so ignorant
the truth is we dont know how we got here, our brains and logic think that when we die thats the end of it all, but remember our brains cant give us an answer, so we find one that sounds good (religion) now im not saying there isnt a god, there could be, but i know for damn sure its no god that you know of today, not jesus, allah none of them, they are man made, we probably cant comprehend what a god is if they exist, maybe this cycle goes on forever
i think we are all in a plane of time, time is moving the universe is moving and if we cant keep up, we die, if you look at us, humans i mean we grow old and die, i believe thats because time or the beginning of time is moving when we enter this world and you can survive and live for a short while but because we cant keep up with time we die and im guessing we go into another plane or we just die and thats the end of it, alot of people think we die and thats it, but you dont know
i dont care how clever or genius a human is, nobody will ever know the secrets of the universe, how we got here, how it all started, they say the big bang started it, i dont believe so, you see something had to start the big bang, it didnt just happen, i mean where did all those gases come from to causes such a huge explosion seriously.. they are saying gas caused the explosion and it formed the whole universe well that explosion must have been so fucking massive
to think we are the only ones out of about a million billion is rediculous seriously, no way are we the only ones not a chance. The problem is we cant get to them unless we find a mass relay lol even then to travel across just our galaxy would take forever let alone a nearby galaxy like andromeda, even though, andromeda will be colliding with our milky way in about 3 billion years and our sun will eurupt in about that time as well not looking good for humanity in 3 billion years if we still here
@Brady2k10 Kinda makes you wonder if other galaxies or solar systems with life know about us here but consider this part of the galaxy the boonies or the ghetto, since nothing is around us for lightyears upon lightyears. Maybe they know that we are a very violent species and that we tend to let fear control us more than the pursuit of a greater knowledge. Maybe they know that we would attack them before being peaceful. Maybe a lightyear to us is only an hour worth of travel to them.
@MINN3APOLIS yep, anything is possible, when people think of aliens they think of those silver ones with the big heads and big black eyes, but the truth is, i think theres probably thousands probably millions of aliens out their different species and some may have encountered others already like say there was a planet like ours, and next to it there was a planet like mars and both had life and the odds of their being aliens is so huge its nearly impossible for there not to be
@Brady2k10 definitely, and most people think that for there to be life, those species have to be carbon based. there could be helium based, boron-based, maybe even sodium based life forms. we haven't even finished the periodic table yet so there are an infinite amount of undiscovered possibilities.
@MINN3APOLIS yep and forget all the science crap because we dont know shit, scientists assume they know how stuff works, and they are right when its concerning earth and humans and nature on earth and all the period stuff all that, but there brains simply cannot provide an answer for the rest of the universe, we go by what we know down here on earth so we think like u said for there to be life they have to be carbon based which imo is total bs and they are just guessing that
love this after you have an awesome cutscene or mission and you come back onto the normandy you forget about this cool music when you hit the galaxy map and its sweet and epic at the same time, i like looking at the different planets and its kinda strange when you think of it, because our galaxy is massive and theres billions of them out there, we are so so so so small in this universe its unbelievable and it makes me think, they is a high possibility there are worlds out there with aliens
Im 20 years old and i yes while it is unfortunate i wont be able to experience what life will be like in a few hundred years, but at the same time we are lucky to be living in this generation. We get to witness the rise or the fall of the human race. With all thats goin on in the world today its looking like humans will indeed fall and will never be able to do what we see here in Mass Effect. Yes its a video game, but alot can be learned. Helium3 can save humanity. We just have to go to the moon
still what is going on today is more like a staged sequence of bad events, and that is the point, to wear us down to the knees, we are stronger in every way you could imagen, we are soul, and the body is just a tool, no words can change the fact of the reality, so dont buy in to the media crap, all the bad stuff they betray and tell us we are in tv, and the moment we turn around and ignore them, we could change stuff in a heartbeat
@Motokid250r so just ignore them, we are better of without that dung, they even dont bother to hide what their intentions are anymore! so look what they show us on tv, uuh EX: Latest weapon tech, ww2, catastrophic events, how to survive an alien attack, what if we die this date.
on radio: they talk about, EX: mel gibson ate and threw up on a secretary, he will have to pay for the secretarys laundry, haha bad ex but you get the point, they dont like to bother us with the real stuff.
Yay, I am not alone in being interested in science and everything :D!
I always listen to this when I'm not in the mood for doing homework and everything... I really hope I can get to work at NASA later. I'm pretty smart. I study at one of the best highschools in Holland and physics, chemics and biology are my best classes. :D! I really don't know why I wrote this... Prolly cause of the music.
It is absolutely humbling to see that such a simple piece of well-done music can lead us to forget about what insignificant differences there might be between us and instead look forward to our future as one species. You guys are awesome! <3
Hey everybody! I have released my new album 'Progenitor' which has electronic music inspired by great games such as Mass Effect. You can check it out and download it for free on my youtube channel if you're interested!
so glad i found this song. when i'd play the game i'd bring up the galaxy map, smoke a joint, and just listen and ponder about life. what an interesting experience life is. Curious about what's on the otherside. I guess we will all find out someday.
@chrisfromoh ....What if there's nothing on the otherside......We come from the earth and therefore return to it....We knew nothing at birth...We know nothingness at death....Now fire one up and ponder that :)
Ehh, troll physics.. just one thing. Element zero. that's it. That's all. No need for infinite energy and helium implanted fruit to make infinite money at a supermarket.
Well, i would contribute to this gloriously deep and self-contemplating discussion of humanity's progress into space, but i need more Titanium for an upgrade. Again.
The human species as a whole is on the verge of a collapse. If we focused our energy and time to getting along and placing more value on the unknown then we'd of left Earth centuries ago. Religion, war, hate and narrow mindedness have really held us back, shame really, I wouldn't mind meeting an Asari
@SalsaSalling It was just over 100 years ago that the first airplane was built. 50 years later we were in space. Now we have spacecraft that are at the edge of our solar system and have a space station where people live for extended periods of time. Who knows what will happen in another 100 years.
@439613 True, but the astronoms found another planet a bit like earth.. the problem is that the planet is 1.5 billion years away.. And even if we could FTL travel, it would take 1.5 billion years. Maybe far far in the future we can FTL travel, but 100 years?
@SalsaSalling technology improves exponentially. Maybe in 100 years, we won't need a near-earth replica to do deep-space travel and colonization. Watch the documentary: Transcendent Man. It will blow your mind.
@439613 Time dilation. We'd be there in a few years with no aging barely, and the time around us would be fucked and technology of the spaceship would've already advanced probably. You could stay on a ship, travel to the edge of the solar system at the speed of light, and it slows your time down.
@439613 whatever scientific theories are out there like the theory of relativity i consider to be bullshit, i mean we thought there was only 5 body senses (what about balance and heat and sickness etc) we thought there was only 4 elements. Our potnetial is limitless it's called evolution, trouble is 2 things got us to this level of tech and those were WW1 and WW2, WW1 was tanks and the ground vehicles, WW2 was aeroplanes WW3 will be space
@439613 Einstein said traveling faster than the speed of light is impossible, and he was recently proven right. The only way we will be able to reach other liveable planets in reasonable time is to tinker with the fabric of space itself. I don't see that EVER happening...
Maybe if some other advanced civilization finds us, and somehow teaches us everything we need to know, without enslaving our entire population, we'll be able to live in other places. What do you think?
@IMB2U Well, that's how Mass Effect's FTL worked: Dark Matter ("element zero") was used to create imaginary mass to accelerate the spacecraft to speeds greater than light, like passing the event horizon of a black hole. While I don't necessarily believe that's a working solution, I remember what Arthur C. Clarke said: "If an older and respected scientist says something is possible, he is almost certainly correct; if he says that something is impossible, he is very likely mistaken."
@Tyrannobeast Well, if we could just our hands on some eezo, that'd be great. I'm saying traveling faster than the speed of light IS impossible. Well, for now anyway...
@439613 There was also a documentary talking about how they could turn mars into a planet we could live on aswell, would only take 100 years to create an atmosphere on it by turning it into a greenhouse furnace basically then by doing other stuff :S lol cant remember the full details but it was really interesing, im just dissapointed that i was born in this day of age and I will never live to see any of it :(
1) No such planet has ever been found. The closest thing is a "Super Earth" covered in water, about ten times the size of our planet, and is in its stars habitable zone.
2) You mean light years, and we cannot observe extra-solar planets 1.5 billion lightyears away. They aren't even in the same galaxy.
3) There will be no FTL travel - but it isn't needed to travel to extra-solar planets. All that is needed is to be able to keep a human in stasis for extended periods of time.
@UndeadPizzaGuy Oh sorry, I miss understood you. No you're right, there's no earth-like planet 1.5 billion lightyears away, not sure why I said that. :P tho, the astronoms have discovered a planet that looks like earth, just 1.5 x bigger.
@SalsaSalling We don't KNOW for a fact that these planets don't have the ability to support life. We make educated guesses based on the technology we have today. We pick up patterns of planets to categorize them, but until we either put probes or boots down on a new world we won't know if it is or isn't capable of supporting life.
@SalsaSalling Your wrong FTL means Faster Than Light, it will take less than 1.5 billion years. In other words if your going faster than light it is possible to reach it as little as 5 years or less. The light might take a certain length of time but if your going faster it is quite obvious that the time will be less especially if your warping space.
@InfinityWard312 Yes I know, but its impossible to FTL travel. But even if it is possible to FTL travel, I dont think we will ever find out before we die. Before humanity die. Humans want to know everything but I just think that there are some things we aren't supposed to know.
@SalsaSalling Don't worry about that. We'll just go to Mars and discover ruins of an ancient spacefaring civilization. They will reveal startling new technologies that advance our own technologies 200 years.
They will call it the greatest discovery in human history.
The civilizations of this galaxy call it Mass Effect.
FTL means Faster Than Light meaning you go faster than the 20.7 lightyear journey.
Thats why i'm getting cryogenically frozen and having a "future fund" with interest so when theyr aise me from the dead in a couple of centuries i will have billions in my fund.
@SalsaSalling Keep in mind that the idea that light speed is the universal speed limit was dreamed up years ago. We've broken every other limit. In theory, your mass increases the faster you go, and (I think) if you get close to that universal speed limit then your mass would increase to the point where it could no longer sustain itself. If we had mass effect generators just like in the game, then maybe we could lighten our mass WHILE STILL increasing our speed, thus overcoming the limit.
@metalliczombie ....ALL religion is of man...man wrote the bible for personal gain..it is a tool to gather and control the masses..The jewish community claim that a god prefers them over all other races and that "it" promised them land...they use this hoax to commit atrocities on the palestenians and deny them land...NO god inspired the bible nor is there any shred of truth to their rediculous claim....You knew nothing before you entered this world...You will know nothing when you leave.
@metalliczombie Am agreeing with you....You drew me out with your insightful comment....People who beLIEve a book written by man is of god are insightfool too....They say "You gotta have faith"....Faith in something unseen...unfounded and unproven is blind faith and blind faith is a fools proof....it IS a tool used by many to justify their criminal actions...their wars and their lunacy...This world could truly know peace except for reLIEgion which seperates the people and dilutes humanity.
@SalsaSalling If you happen to find out what planet you're talking about, please elaborate. A planet does not have to completely mimic the attributes of Earth to make it inhabitable. In fact, we have the biggest canidate only, on average, 225 million kilometers away from us.
Mars has water, carbon, geothermal energy.. all the things necessary to produce or assist in the production of life and its constituents. The only necessary requirements are funding, courage, and inspiration.
@SalsaSalling well, said planet cant be that far away if you travel at lights speed, because thats over the length of the milky way, it'd take a much longer time to get there at max speed we currently can reach, but since they discovered particles that travel faster then light, we should be able to get FTL in the next 100 years, and we'd be on all them planets in no time. =p
@SalsaSalling For us, Probably. However assuming we don't kill each other first our decendents might be able to live on other planets, even if we never develop some way of quickly traveling through space we could always just take everything with us and make the long trip to new worlds. Eventually our sun is going to burn out, we already have a rough idea of when that will happen, when were within 200 years of it even the most stubborn developed governments will get their act together.
@SalsaSalling Some experts think humans will achieve immortality within the next 50 years or so (through biological methods, or by uploading the human mind to computers), so we might not even need FTL.
Immortality towards aging, or disease? What about when we run out of natural resources, or when the sun devours the solar system? I don't bring these things up to discourage you; these are things that came to my mind though when I read your post.
The galaxy is a vast place... even in mass effect only 1% of the entire galaxy has been explored. We will eventually leave earth and it is my opinion that we will colonize worlds not only in our Solar System but others as well. If we all pulled together instead driving away we wouldnt have to be Australian or African.. We would be Humanity as a whole.
If we pulled together as a species things like mass effect would be possible
Would there really be planets like there are in Mass Effect? I mean, planets like the one where the Salarian camp is... I forgot the name... Or planets like Noveria, or Feros? Hm... That would be pretty cool. If we'd all create colonies there. Lol, just imagine everyone going like: HOLY JESUS!
@RareWeedProgam No Telomeres are an anti cancer mecanism. They limit the maximum number of time a cell can go into mitosis before entering senescence.
I love how something as simple as a Mass Effect song can bring together everybody's thoughts and ideas of the future and the large thing we call the Universe. Even for me, this song gets me thinking about how huge the Universe is and how insignificant we really are and it makes me respect that, it makes me respect the Universe, how everyone should respect the Universe.
I think everyone is inspired by the same feeling, the one you get when looking at the star map in the ship. It gives rise to the fantastic possibilities of "what if?". You feel like your really out there exploring the planets, every time i play this game it makes me think of Carl Sagan.
@EnemyHero182 Mass Effect actually got me into carl sagan, and science. It was this song and the galaxy map that made me ask the important question : What's out there? How does it work? And ever since I've played this game, I've been so caught up in science like physics and astronomy, engineering, rocketry, NASA, that i hardly play the game anymore. I've gone from being an 80 average student to getting high 90s/100 in science, ive started and run an astronomy club, I have a telescope, etc..
@Drensworth (Con.t) I think its safe to say that this has had a lasting impact on me personally, and may possibly shape my career. it ignited a flame of fascination with the universe that shows no signs of dying out. It was like my renaissance.
Right on brother. Let me know if you see anything out there? Maybe one day we'll find out about the prothean ruins on mars :D. I think the one true disappointment in life would be not knowing how close we are to discovering the truth about our place in the galaxy. I'm sure aliens exist, would be cool to actually see and talk to them.
@Drensworth it's unbelievable how influential video games can be if your story is true then. I can't wait to start inspiring people like yourself with videogames.
@Lazulf I myself had a similar experience playing ME1 when I was 15. I am now 20 years old and studying theoretical physics at University thanks to this game. I have become addicted to knowledge and science, and my understanding of philosophy and the universe has grown massively.
@LuisManuelLealDias Don't know why everyone is doubting me. This game honestly inspired me, of course my sole motivation wasn't "must learn science... because of mass effect!" but it made me interested, it incited my curiosity. Hell, right now, at 14, I am preparing a 1 hour lecture for a 6th grade class about the origins of the universe and formation of the solar system. If I have one goal, it is to trigger their curiosity like this game did mine.
@antontonable Nice choice man, I have an 8 inch dobsonian. It's a really great scope for deep sky! What do you mean by moisture, exactly? Does your telescope dew up really fast? It might just be the fact that it isn't ambient (outdoor) temperature and dews up, this can be avoided by pointing a fan onto the telescopes mirrors for 30 hour before use, to adjust it to the environment so it won't fog up when the temp outside shifts.
@Drensworth Yeah I get it from being out for a while. I'm aware that I should let it stabilize with the outside temperature, but I live in the very deep south and the air is SOOO humid that I literally need a towel to wipe the dew off of not only the scope but all of the optics. I looked at some of the dew heaters but they're expensive! After spending a small fortune on other accessories I've decided that I had to draw the line somewhere.
@antontonable I hear you man, it's an expensive hobby. I myself fashioned a dew cap out of one of those blue-foam camping mats. I would advise you do the same - just make a tube with a diameter large enough that it will fit around the end of your scope, and not block your view. All it took me was some scissors, measuring and duct tape. Plop it onto the end of the dobsonian, and that will shield it from dewing up the interior for a while! I'll send you a pm photo to show you.
i love how much the subject matter of this game affects people... Now if only the desire to go to space could spread worldwide, and people started to demand it... Sagan would love this game
@Sternertime Yes, I totally agree Sagan would enjoy this so much, but he would probably have a few rants about earth chauvinism with the aliens, lol, good ol Carl.
maybe our government should stop messing with Iraq and use the money for more important things, such as new technology instead of constant warfare, if the iraq war or something never happened, we would be so advanced instead of playing suicide
Pt. 2; Benjamin Franklin would invite those trying to become one of his apprentices to lunch, and - after they ordered and were served - if he put salt on his food without trying it first, he wasn't hired. This was because those who make assumptions have no place in discovery. A quote from the same man says "All mankind is divided into three classes: those that are immovable, those that are movable, and those that move." Let's all be movers, shall we? let's take 5 minutes to dream of "what if?"
Pt. 1; okay, we all have to get over the fact that FTL travel is impossible. Light has a speed. Speed is measurable. Has anyone compared the speed of light to the speed of time? And can we really confine ourselves to such linear thinking? Now i know our brains can only handle so much, but we barely use a third of our brain's capacity to compute, and don't you think we could stretch ourselves out and look at the universe from different angles?

IMB2U 6 months ago
@IMB2U Well, that's how Mass Effect's FTL worked: Dark Matter ("element zero") was used to create imaginary mass to accelerate the spacecraft to speeds greater than light, like passing the event horizon of a black hole. While I don't necessarily believe that's a working solution, I remember what Arthur C. Clarke said: "If an older and respected scientist says something is possible, he is almost certainly correct; if he says that something is impossible, he is very likely mistaken."

1) No such planet has ever been found. The closest thing is a "Super Earth" covered in water, about ten times the size of our planet, and is in its stars habitable zone.
2) You mean light years, and we cannot observe extra-solar planets 1.5 billion lightyears away. They aren't even in the same galaxy.
3) There will be no FTL travel - but it isn't needed to travel to extra-solar planets. All that is needed is to be able to keep a human in stasis for extended periods of time.

@SalsaSalling We don't KNOW for a fact that these planets don't have the ability to support life. We make educated guesses based on the technology we have today. We pick up patterns of planets to categorize them, but until we either put probes or boots down on a new world we won't know if it is or isn't capable of supporting life.

@SalsaSalling Your wrong FTL means Faster Than Light, it will take less than 1.5 billion years. In other words if your going faster than light it is possible to reach it as little as 5 years or less. The light might take a certain length of time but if your going faster it is quite obvious that the time will be less especially if your warping space.

@InfinityWard312 Yes I know, but its impossible to FTL travel. But even if it is possible to FTL travel, I dont think we will ever find out before we die. Before humanity die. Humans want to know everything but I just think that there are some things we aren't supposed to know.

TigerMilitia 6 months ago
@SalsaSalling Keep in mind that the idea that light speed is the universal speed limit was dreamed up years ago. We've broken every other limit. In theory, your mass increases the faster you go, and (I think) if you get close to that universal speed limit then your mass would increase to the point where it could no longer sustain itself. If we had mass effect generators just like in the game, then maybe we could lighten our mass WHILE STILL increasing our speed, thus overcoming the limit.

@SalsaSalling If you happen to find out what planet you're talking about, please elaborate. A planet does not have to completely mimic the attributes of Earth to make it inhabitable. In fact, we have the biggest canidate only, on average, 225 million kilometers away from us.
Mars has water, carbon, geothermal energy.. all the things necessary to produce or assist in the production of life and its constituents. The only necessary requirements are funding, courage, and inspiration.

@SalsaSalling well, said planet cant be that far away if you travel at lights speed, because thats over the length of the milky way, it'd take a much longer time to get there at max speed we currently can reach, but since they discovered particles that travel faster then light, we should be able to get FTL in the next 100 years, and we'd be on all them planets in no time. =p

Eventually our sun is going to burn out, we already have a rough idea of when that will happen, when were within 200 years of it even the most stubborn developed governments will get their act together.

And yeah the music is great and perfect for all things universe.
antontonable 4 weeks ago
@antontonable Nice choice man, I have an 8 inch dobsonian. It's a really great scope for deep sky! What do you mean by moisture, exactly? Does your telescope dew up really fast? It might just be the fact that it isn't ambient (outdoor) temperature and dews up, this can be avoided by pointing a fan onto the telescopes mirrors for 30 hour before use, to adjust it to the environment so it won't fog up when the temp outside shifts.
Drensworth 4 weeks ago
@Drensworth Yeah I get it from being out for a while. I'm aware that I should let it stabilize with the outside temperature, but I live in the very deep south and the air is SOOO humid that I literally need a towel to wipe the dew off of not only the scope but all of the optics. I looked at some of the dew heaters but they're expensive! After spending a small fortune on other accessories I've decided that I had to draw the line somewhere.
antontonable 4 weeks ago
@antontonable I hear you man, it's an expensive hobby. I myself fashioned a dew cap out of one of those blue-foam camping mats. I would advise you do the same - just make a tube with a diameter large enough that it will fit around the end of your scope, and not block your view. All it took me was some scissors, measuring and duct tape. Plop it onto the end of the dobsonian, and that will shield it from dewing up the interior for a while! I'll send you a pm photo to show you.
