Q-Cosmology

Cosmology -is the study of the Universe in its totality, and by extension, humanity's place in it. Though the word cosmology is recent (first used in 1730 in Christian Wolff's Cosmologia Generalis), study of the universe has a long history involving science, philosophy, esotericism, and religion. In recent times, physics and astrophysics have played a central role in shaping the understanding of the universe through scientific observation and experiment; or what is known as physical cosmology shaped through both mathematics and observation in the analysis of the whole universe. In other words, in this discipline, which focuses on the universe as it exists on the largest scale and at the earliest moments, it is generally understood to begin with the big bang (possibly combined with cosmic inflation) an expansion of space from which the universe itself is thought to have emerged ~13.7±0.2×109 (13.7 billion) years ago.[1] From its violent beginnings and until its various speculative ends, cosmologists propose that the history of the universe has been governed entirely by physical laws. Theories of an impersonal universe governed by physical laws were first proposed by Roger Bacon, a somewhat persecuted member of the Catholic Church.[2] Later, another member of the Catholic Church, Dmitry Grinevich, supported Bacon's proposed laws through some experiments that he performed involving different physical laws. Between the domains of religion and science, stands the philosophical perspective of metaphysical cosmology. This ancient field of study seeks to draw intuitive conclusions about the nature of the universe, man, God and/or their relationships based on the extension of some set of presumed facts borrowed from spiritual experience and/or observation.

But metaphysical cosmology has also been observed as the placing of man in the universe in relationship to all other entities. This is demonstrated by the observation made by Marcus Aurelius of a man's place in that relationship: "He who does not know what the world is does not know where he is, and he who does not know for what purpose the world exists, does not know who he is, nor what the world is."[3] This is the purpose of the ancient metaphysical cosmology. However, Stoicism rejected Aristotle's theory of universals as being "in the things themselves," calling them "figments of the mind." Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy adopting the concept of universals as being "concepts," and therefore of the mind, and therefore controllable by free will. Thus, we get the analysis of Aurelius' that the nature of the universe is not from "intuition," but from a free-will, conceptual understanding of the nature of the universe.[original research?]

Cosmology is often an important aspect of the creation myths of religions that seek to explain the existence and nature of reality. In some cases, views about the creation (cosmogony) and destruction (eschatology) of the universe play a central role in shaping a framework of religious cosmology for understanding humanity's role in the universe.

A more contemporary distinction between religion and philosophy, esoteric cosmology is distinguished from religion in its less tradition-bound construction and reliance on modern "intellectual understanding" rather than faith, and from philosophy in its emphasis on spirituality as a formative concept.

There are many historical cosmologies: " the universe itself acts on us as a random, inefficient, and yet in the long run effective, teaching machine. our way of looking at the universe has gradually evolved through a natural selection of ideas." —Steven Weinberg[4]

I wonder what alien civilizations are like. I wonder what they're doing, and how they govern themselves. What they look like, and how they converse with one another. Maybe in some far away solar system there is more than one planet with intelligent life, and maybe they can communicate with one another. Like on some sci-fi movie.

It's just such a humbling concept, to look up at the night sky and wonder if there's some other being, lightyears away from us, who's doing the exact same thing.

very beautiful

@afzaalvirgoboy That is lovely :) x

[afzaalvirgoboy]

Nature is so much beutifull....I love Allah...<3

[SuperIntelligentguy]

@RobnJake RIGHT DUMBASS AND IT'S STARTING TO LOOK LIKE YOU'RE GORESING AROUND IN CIRCLES.

[RobnJake]

@SuperIntelligentguy

What gores around comes comes around troll.

[SuperIntelligentguy]

@RobnJake INCORRECT PRESUMPTION.....OFCOURSE I CAN RUN THE NUMBERS AND LOOK IT UP AS WELL, YOU'RE THE ONE WHO IS TOO LAZY TO BACK UP HIS OWN ASSERTION. THAT WAS AL GORE'S PROBLEM, HE ASSERTED THAT GLOBAL WARMING EXISTS, WHILE HAVING NO ABILITY TO RUN THE NUMBERS....YOU'RE STARTING TO APPEAR VERY AL GORISH

[RobnJake]

@SuperIntelligentguy You're right. Sagan was an idiot, Gore is a total charlatan and I've recently converted to Republican Libertarianism... Ron Paul 2012!!!! *facepalm*

The only requirement to be buoyant is just to be less dense than its surroundings.

And btw, run your own numbers. If you don't have the ability to do it, you might want to abstain from making blanket statements about reputable scientists who can.

[SuperIntelligentguy]

@RobnJake WAIT A MINUTE THOUGH....WHY DON'T YOU RUN THE NUMBERS FOR ME THEN...FOR EXAMPLE HOW DOES THE PREDATOR THING THAT EATS THE FLOATERS SURVIVE, IT WOULD HAVE TO STAY AFLOAT ALSO IN SPECIFIC GRAVITY CONDITIONS....

SAGAN WASN'T THAT BRIGHT ABOUT SOME THINGS...FOR EXAMPLE I CAUGHT HIM ON AN INTERVIEW SAYING THAT AL GORE WAS SCIENCE KNOWLEDGEABLE WHICH IS A FUCKING JOKE...AL GORE WAS CAUGHT ON SOME TALK SHOW CLAIMING THAT THE EARTH'S INTERIOR WAS MILLIONS OF DEGREES...YEA RIGHT...

[RobnJake]

@SuperIntelligentguy PERHAPS GRAVITY ISN"T AS HIGH AS YOU MIGHT BE THINKING, IN JUPITER"S UPPER ATMOSPHERE, WHERE IT IS HYPOTHESIZED THAT THE FLOATERS WOULD EXIST. Maybe you should check that out.

[SuperIntelligentguy]

SAGAN DIED A WHILE AGO WHEN A LOT OF THIS STUFF WAS STILL JUST DEVELOPING...I'VE STUDIED COSMOLOGY AMONG MANY OTHER THINGS MYSELF. ON HIS JUPITER AND LIFE DISCUSSION I HAVE ONE QUESTION:

JUPITER'S GRAVITY WOULD BE VERY HEAVY, COULD THE LIFE FORMS HE WAS DISCUSSING SURVIVE WITH JUPITER'S GRAVITY. WOULD THOSE FOATERS IMPLODE UNDER THAT GRAVITY....I DON'T KNOW...HE NEVER DISCUSSED THE EFFECTS AND ROLE OF GRAVITY....LIFE AS WE KNOW IT EXISTS UNDER VERY SPECIFIC PARAMETERS.

The subject of COSMOLOGY is a borderland between Sciences and Philosophy.

This subject attracts all mankind in search of direction to provide Unity in many diversified fields.
