Interesting Facts
 

Did you know? (On this forum, I also have to obligingly ask, do you refute?)

1. Mount Rushmore is, based on the erosion rate of granite, designed to reach its ideal finish in 30,000 years?

2. That to gauge the size relation of our Solar System to our closest sister star in the Milky Way galaxy, Alpha Centauri, you would need to lay one quarter (U.S. or Canuckian) in the end zone of a football field (football field is 120 yds, incl. end zones), representing our solar system with all its planets, and then lay another quarter 3 football fields away, representing Alpha Centauri and the planets surrounding it? Yes, space is 99.99999999% just that -empty space.

3. That on average each star in the sky contains 2 planets of Earth size or more, and that in the Milky Way alone, that there are 200 - 400 billion stars? (Only 2,500 - 8,000 of these are visible to our instruments). That's 400 - 800 billion planets to investigate in our corner of the universe.

4. In 1999, the Hubble Space Telescope estimated there are 125 billion galaxies, 3,000 of which it can see?

5. 200 Billion stars (presumed average based on the Milky Way) x 125 Billion galaxies = 25 trillion, yes, that's 25,000,000,000,000, chances at finding a sister planet, or any other planet that can sustain life.

Please feel free to correct me where I'm wrong on these numbers. I'm trying to work them out, they're very large.

Somehow politics is going to be brought up. Felix and Spiritwarrior?

Re: Interesting Facts
 

Sorry wasn't really paying attention but I can try. Uhm, let's see...

It's Adam & Eve not Adam & Steve u mofos.

The US is the greatest country in the world and should decide who lives and who dies.

God did not create the stars, Obama did.

Not much but best I can do for now :-/.

Re: Interesting Facts
 

ooo, politics and religion, very well played sir.

Re: Interesting Facts
 

Lol, thank you. Clearly I reside on the precipice of cutting edge. *Bows*

Re: Interesting Facts
 

Spiritwarrior: Siiiigh


Correction: Obama did not create the stars, the stars are created by Bill Clintons cigar ash that still glows. Black holes that eat anything are made by republicans though!!!

Re: Interesting Facts
 

Yes, there's sure nothing halfvassed about the universe. God did an amazing job! There, see, no politics. :)

Re: Interesting Facts
 

God, Obama - same thing.

<font color=plum>LOL...not even close, but you're welcome to think so. :laugh2:</font>

Re: Interesting Facts
 

You're right, he's bigger than God.

Re: Interesting Facts
 

Obama is the best thing that has happened to the USA since Bill Clinton - Bush was a criminal and a murderer that should be punished in the deepest pit of hell by having enlarged pineapples shoved up his anus!

Re: Interesting Facts
 

lol@enlarged pineapples.

Re: Interesting Facts
 

Nice way to limit the playing field for the comparison Sparhawk. Gee, let me see - after Bill Clinton and before Obama there has been exactly ONE president - that's Bush.

What a perfect example of "damning by faint praise.........."

Re: Interesting Facts
 

If you happen to believe that someone, or you, can resolve all this for us, you're dumb. I.E., if I cannot be any more explicit, if you believe in God you're a ■■■■■■■ idiot. If your belief flies in the face of this, you're a retard. Period. I love your soul, but you have no business on earth with us opining about what may be out there. I respectfully... no, not really, call you stupid.

Re: Interesting Facts
 

Always.

But your comedic remarks aside, I simply can't see the cosmos in the way you do.

Re: Interesting Facts
 

It's totally true that God is not Obama, but isn't it nice to have a corollary to look at after they 8 years with the idiot?
