The Universe is Big!

[Ras Asad]

hey all,
sorry about the size..... ami in the worng place?
if so i am sorry.

there has been a few videos made from these images..
some might have seen this..
but i think this is big picture is ?nice?...ifthat works..
I read somewhere that the human brain is unable to comprehend how big these things actually are.... i try to comprehend it... and think i got it comprehended sometimes....
but..... pffff....
this puts things into sobering perspective for me..
it could almos bring a tear. lol
mann..

[stonedcoder]

wow ...just WOW!!

[ShroomGuerilla]

Great find!!


Makes me feel soo soo small.

[bosshogg]

that's awesome !! thank you !! my head feels bigger then my house right now , i luv that feeling.

[Ras Asad]

If you want to see closer...

This one is BIG!!!!

Hubble Ultra Deep Field~ full image.

and heres a nice one not too big.
the other one is a keeper for sure tho. lol
glad you guys like it.

[Irishlion]

and with all that, people still think we are the only form of intellegent life in the universe, now thats one arrogant thought LMAO, we are the most self centered species I know, wait never mind this is the only planet I have visted, opps my bad.

Great find ras man.

[Yetti]

it always blows my mind when i see that pic,

[JohnDoe]

simply amazing!!! this was my first thought...second thought: i am god, so fck it...i am the stars, the galaxies, the creator of everything

[twoism]

I want to visit other galaxies...

[EmmisonJ]

i love posts like this. look at the 2nd to last picture, it's a perfect example of how time is relative to the viewer. can you imagine trying to understand such things prior to the understanding of relativity? it was all just an oversimplified paradox like how our physics runs into a paradox explaining the size of that large galaxy. not that our math and physics generally speaking is incorrect, just incomplete. we have a long way to go huh

mind blowing fun

[prism]

Awesome... Simply awesome!!

[usagolden]

I sometimes try and think of the galaxy, of forever. i remember being a little kid and trying that, first thought that ever bent my brain.

awsome stuff

[steeq]

Wow, I had seen part of this before but the last several pictures I hadn't seen yet. Astonishing!

[director of sound]

thats badass can you pm me a link to where you found that?

[Brakiska]

Those pictures have been taken by the Hubble Telescope in 1995. The survey is named Deep Field and Ultra Deep Field.

Imagine all the light that comes toward the earth. We zoom in it in order to obtain such pictures. That picture is the result of the size of a sand grain compared to the huge 'paint' that's all around the earth. There would be billions of these pictures if we would be to zoom everywhere.

Here's a nice little video with information and amazing animations.
(how to you include a video in posts?)

Once I was with a friend smoking one.
Looking up the stars is something my eyes do often
This night
while watching one star in particular
I saw its whole
I saw all the planets around it
for a brief moment
Im still experiencing my deep third eye
so sometimes logic kicks in and removes such things
was truly amazing to be able to witness it
from within
I was starting to see on the planets when I 'came back'
Some other time, for sure
now the light pollution in the city covers it
this summer though, we'll meet again

[golly]

Kewl stuff..So if the further we see, means the further back in time we're witnessing, then
with a real good scope we should be able to see right down the "big bang hole" right..?

And no matter which direction we point that scope - it still sees the same bigbanghole..??

Or is my reasoning screwed up..

Now that i think about it , i guess the bang occurred a little before the furthest time we can see because we didn't arrive here faster than light speed..

Just talkin to myself...doooh..

Ok my real question is, If u point two scopes in opposite directions and look as far back in time as possible, are those two distant points actually quite close together..?
Or is there only one direction you can look to see the very earliest stage of the Universe..?

Hmmm thats a thought that might
F with me, as if those pics alone
don't do that.
thanks Ras cool stuff!

[~Hippie3]

it's in every direction,
in a way
it's like we are still at the 'center'
and the universe is expanding away from us.
of course
that's also how it looks
from everywhere else too.

[Brakiska]

The Hubble Ultra Deep Field pictures takes its light from 13,5 billions. Back then, the Universe (It's all theories..) was only 800 millions years old.

When the Universe was younger, there was as much energy there is now. (see the video in my previous post, there's a wicked animation near the end that explains this well.)

There was much less stars though. So they were HUGE. HUGE ENERMOUS stars. The average temperature was 10 000 Celcius. It was hot everywhere...no cold at all. although there was a 'cooling' occuring.




Here's a picture I love to watch

A collision between 2 galaxies stuck in our time frame. Stars hanging in between. I wonder to which the Ones in the middle galaxy think they belong




Imagine... Galaxies spirals around eachother...they bounce into eachother many many times until they finally become one, one bigger galaxy.

We're about to collide with Andromeda.. Also we're hmm eating much smaller galaxies that orbits around us. We are one big galaxy.

I call it the Cosmic Dance. Nature is just wonderful from everywhere..

Here's a another amazing picture



That's a picture of accumulated data on the galaxies around us.. the bright spots means ten thousands of galaxies clusters.

cool patterns.


Stars hangs in clusters.

One big family.

Star clusters have many different patterns I happen to like globular ones

So this means the ten thousands closest brothers and sisters of our beloved sun are the same age. Same age means there's are a lot of them which have the same parameters as our sun. They've found planets (We can locate them, but we cannot look at them in colors -yet-(http://www.jwst.nasa.gov/) In not so many years we'll be able to literally look at them. What if blue and green appears in the scope..


I hope that planets size are relative to the Sun's size.

I was thinking the other night what if with big HUGE stars such as VV Cephei

there is planets orbiting it...planets bigger than our sun. Which can support life.. Even though these intelligent lifeforms would like to visit us they'd need a shrinker or something, their spaceships would be as big as earth and create such a big gravitational pull it would screw everything in our solar system

here's a nice video of actual footage of our Sun.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQyp9y_9s10

these are huge electromagnetic waves of ten thousands of kilometers/miles..

One huge abnormal flare would be able to cease all wireless communication systems..

why not here's an interpretation of the Solar Wind

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=naaeDJLcxgs&feature=related

All objcts of signifiant size takes part of this huge paint that is our Solar System Solar Wind.

It interacts with every objects. All of them have different kinds of influences on all the other objects

btw how do I include a video in this forum. makes it more interesting to just click on the play triangle with a preview picture thanks

<3 the sky

[~Hippie3]

upload it to youtube ?

[feralronin]

Awesome Ras. Keep looking up the stars bud.

[Ben Dover]

Amazing.

Really helps with adding some perspective on how big a scale the universe is, that we know of so far

Thanks Ras

[stickyscissors]

i've always been awe struck by this. the ultra deep field photo has been my desktop background for a couple years now.

great post

[Brakiska]

same here stickyscissors

sometimes I change it but it comes back the same one~

[tenjin]

Awesome thread man

Like others have said- it's crazy to think when we are looking at the stars, planets, other galaxies, etc we are looking at them in the distant past since it takes so long for their light to reach our eyes. So in "present time" they would look totally different or not their at all, but when you're thinking about the universe- what is "present time"?

[seedlessstinky1]

LOL. Figure that one out and you win the prize. Been studying that one in my own mind for a while now and have come to un-conclusive results.

*edit: What is time? I understand what an hour is but what is it really other than seconds. Time is not time at all.

We just age and die. Kinda like everything else.

[golly]

Closer to home, our Voyager 2 space craft will be half way to the star Sirius in just 300,000 more years..
Sirius is the focal point for the ancient Egyptian religion ,who's carvings picture the winged gods and their flying machines..
I guess they must'a had warp drive to cover the 8 light year distance...

Bosshog ~ Glad you guys like it. thanks


Irish~

and with all that, people still think we are the only form of intellegent life in the universe, now thats one arrogant thought LMAO, we are the most self centered species I know, wait never mind this is the only planet I have visted, opps my bad.

Great find ras man.

haha, yeah bro.... talk about ego!!! LOL
(or just plain dumbed down)

Ive heard more intelligent words come from humans who are def dumb and blind. :P lol..
(even my turtle has more intelligent thoughts) lol
thanks bro

JohnDoe~ haha, you are absolutely right my bro. .. makes me happy when ppl realize that. thanks!

Twoism~ Im with ya.. when i get my spaceship up to par ill pick you up for a voyage to . lol

EmmisonJ~ yes bro.. a long long way to go!! thanks.

Director of sound~ It was an image i had on my computer, but as others have mentioned.... if you google " hubble ultra deep field" , you will find lots.

Brakiska~ wow man, thanks soo much for the great additions!!
i love your words/thoughts.

you asked how to add a video to a post... well take your youtube link.. such as

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c64Aia4XE1Y

, then copy only the last bit of URL, after the = sign... which would be..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v= c64Aia4XE1Y

then take that last bit of code and paste it into your post like this. c64Aia4XE1Y then add this to each side of it ...

then you get the video in your post. .

sorry if i made that confusing. it didnt work like i wanted... gaahhh i need to smoke.. be bak in a few


edit: dammnit! where did my other replies go???
