Light travels at 300,000 kilometres per second (186,000 miles per second).
In one second, a beam of light can travel SEVEN TIMES around the Earth.
This table shows a number of distances to various objects expressed in terms of how long a beam of light takes to travel that distance.

I love getting high and watching "The Universe" or "How the Universe Works". Thanks for sharing! I'm stealing that first link.
Thanks for the links. :)
Hmmm, 4.3 years just to get to the nearest star at the speed of light. If we don't find wormholes or something similar the distances are just to big to travel to other solar systems in our galaxy in useful time.
Do you think that from the big bang, the universe expanded outwards in all directions at the speed of light? Or did it take it very quickly take on cosmic proportions as space was created inside the universe like a balloon being filled with air?
My mind is still reeling from the idea that dark energy, which is causing heavenly objects to accelerate from each other, could be considered to be anti-gravity.
What an insanely beautiful universe we live in :)
talking monkeys in space.
My astronomy professor loved taking us on theses crazy headtrips.
God dammit i wish i was smarter and could be a Physicist.

The est. value numbers on the side are how much they believe it would be worth to mine a specific asteroid
Where are you hiding God?
Badass!!!
Space looks like brains or maybe space is brains. Anyways fractal universe :)

A few problems with the video you posted titled 'cables in space',
if we believe NASA is corrupt and faked the moon landings then how can they be trusted with information like this? They 'modeled' information that supposedly came from Chandra but the question is HOW did they model it (if it was even legit) and just how biased and open to interpretation is that process? We all know scientists like to manipulate data to appear a certain way to suit their hypothesis.
Another problem here is this guy Gregg Braden in the video. There is film that debunks and exposes him as so full of shit that you can never trust anything he says ever again in my opinion.
Also for the conspiracy theorists I would recommend this video below. This guy claims the earth is not actually spinning on it's axis and makes a case for why this is so and how we have all been lied to. If true then the consequences are huge as that would completely change the way we see the solar system.

Not saying I believe it but I know this place likes conspiracy stuff!
Well then Im glad you seem to know a lot about this guy. He could very well be full of poops. He might just be trying to get funding money for his work... Jeez another long debunked video. Ill have to check it out later. Thanx for the infos. Seems you had a lot to get out there :)Quote:

That is what I would like to know, I dont have the patients to see if the video explains anything on that or just debunks his work.Quote:

It's so difficult today to know who and what to believe, especially when the person or organization has been caught lying or at the very least overly exaggerating information. When I had to take a Biology module in my degree course years ago I chose auto immune diseases that term because it fitted in quite nicely with my schedule so I could sleep in that day :D
I remember clearly the pictures of the HIV virus. Then many years later I found out that HIV has never even been isolated or even seen under a microscope! No-one told me at Uni that the picture I was looking at was an artists impression not the real thing. Even my own teacher was fooled by it and assumed it was legit. There was a film made called 'house of numbers' where a scientist gets pissy after being forced to admit he never actually bothered to check to see if the pictures of the virus were legitimate. The emperors new clothes is truly a great story!
So yeah I'm a skeptical type when I see videos like this. Hate to see people being potentially fooled like I have been so many times.

Some examples to speed it up for you
1:40, the schumann cavity resonance (so called pulse of the earth that is supposed to be rising but it's not)
40:23, the idea that partcicale are linked energetically even when separated by many miles. The science he based this on is a complete joke and he loses all credibility for that point alone in my view. It was completely unproven
I can't speak on his reasons for misleading people but all I know is that I would never trust someone who has been exposed as a complete and utter liar and for deliberately misrepresenting and interpreting data to suit his viewpoint.
oops I meant 'particles' not partcicales!
The debunking guy has some of his own sketchyness going on. He uses science facts to debunk this and that until it comes to the bible. He even uses the bible to debunk things in Catholicism. Just seems odd to me that he is all no where does science say this and that until its things from the bible. Just a little weird. I didnt know Christians and Catholics went around debunking each otherQuote:

59:30 of the video is hilarious though!
Claims that our DNA has words and sentences! No joke! God eternal within the body it says. Watch what Gregg bases it on and you will never believe this guy about anything ever again. He is very clever though how he comes up with these ridiculous conclusions. Not an easy guy to debunk without any prior knowledge of the subjects he talks about. A very clever individual that's for sure.

Yeah I thought people might like the Earth not spinning video. Imagine it was true! Everything would be turned upside down.
Was cool chatting to ya. Have a nice weekend
Im going to attempt to use Eddie's government whore theif analogy formula from his podcast :)Quote:

They went out to the club with each other last night and didnt come back home until late the next day(your presenting the debunked vids). So it wouldnt be far fetched to believe they picked up some dudes last night got wasted and banged them and stayed the night at some dudes place or cheap motel. It should actually be expected because of so much past whoring. The info on past whoring exploits is coming from someone that loves to spread gossip except when it comes to their own gossip... Hopefully that makes it all make sense :confused:
