Been on that forum. It's a mess, Ryback and Cena love everywhere, the mods are always leaving all the crap threads open and there's this right bastard called GentlemanCroft who everybody hates.

 

Oryp™ is probably just a lurker without an account due to her complete lack of opinion.

This thread is fucking brilliant by the way. When I was a child I had recurring dreams about flying through space on my bed (and nightmares about being consumed by dying stars, they can stay the fuck away!), yet even as an adult it's an incredibly fascinating topic. Going to go put Gustav Holst's 'The Planets' on right now.

I play that frequently. Classic.

 

So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure,
How amazingly unlikely is your birth,
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space,
'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth.

 

Thanos>>>>>>>the puny universe

 

Fuck me....

That was pretty mind blowing

That's cray.

Amazing.

Funny thing is I was checking out your top albums of 2011 list and "Steep Hills of Vicodin Tears" - A Winged Victory For The Sullen was playing on Youtube while I was reading the OP. Talk about a 'moment', felt like I was a kid back at the planetarium again.

Oh yeah, that's one hell of an moment.

Shit like this is so fascinating. Although black holes are even more mind blowing to me.

 

Thanos laughs at black holes too. Also black holes aren't as scary as people assume they are. Ok they are fucking terrifying, but it takes them millions of years to finish off one galaxy. They aren't the biggest threat to the universe.

 

I truly believe that until you can accept how small and insignificant you are in the scheme of the universe, you can't really appreciate the scale of existence as we know it. When it comes down to it, any human being who is "self aware" knows that most likely in 100 years they won't be remembered, thats just the way it is. You have to find meaning and happiness in the things you do day to day otherwise there really isn't any point to being alive.

I used to think like this when I was younger, I used to look at the sky and think about everything out there and just feel small. As an adult now with so much on my mind I don't think I've looked up at the sky the same way that I used to.

That's incredible, there just has to be life somewhere else.

 

British astronomer and broadcaster Sir Patrick Moore has died, aged 89, his friends and colleagues have said.

He "passed away peacefully at 12:25 BST this afternoon" at his home in Selsey, West Sussex, they said in a statement.

Sir Patrick presented the BBC programme The Sky At Night for over 50 years, making him the longest-running host of the same television show ever.

He wrote dozens of books on astronomy and his research was used by the US and the Russians in their space programmes.

Wow. Talk about eerie.

I now dedicate this thread to Sir Patrick Moore.

 

RIP, you fucking legend.

 

Time to retire the monocle for good, much like Bobby Moore's number six at West Ham, it will never be made as iconic. R.I.P Sir Patrick Moore.

 

Hope i live long enough to see the discovery of aliens and see humans explore a new world.
