What is our galaxy?
    #19343272 - 12/29/13 08:05 PM (10 years, 1 month ago)

I got really baked last night and started to think about what role our Earth plays 'in the grand scheme of things'.

I can't help but feel that we are just an atom of something bigger?

We as humans are very destructive, we could very well be a cancer cell in something just populating and taking over another cell.

Where can I find more info on this?

You can zoom out and the galaxies apparently form a massive web, probably part of an even bigger web etc etc unto infinity, IMO, the result is  :mindblown:

OR, you can zoom in on your self, to the source, where it all comes from, the result again :mindblown:

Either way :mindblown:

I often get that `just a molecule` feeling.

Like our universe or galaxy is just one of a trillion others that are losely inter-connected to make up the atoms of a spec of random matter that is in a galaxy that is just one of infinitely more galaxies that make up more galaxies, and so on



Humbling feeling. I mean how could there be any sort of super natural force or god or afterlife if all our entire universe is an infinitely small part of an equally infinitely small part of another universe that is itself just an infinitely small part of an infinitely small part....etc forever


Scary

"Scary" for much of Western institutional religion, for sure.

Imagine, for example, the effect on traditional Catholicism if and when life on other planets in other galaxies is confirmed.  Imagine the intellectual acrobatics that the Vatican Department of Biblical Interpretation (or whatever the fuck the relevant department there is called) will have to go through in order to reconcile the "Garden of Eden" story with the discovery of life in other galaxies.

But I bet they have the press releases drafted and ready to go, though.  Lol.

Oughta be good.  :lol:

the Catholic church has actually already considered alien life: http://www.cbsnews.com/news/vatican-considers-possibility-of-aliens/ :smile:

Lol.  So let the mental gymnastics begin!

The "Creationists" are immune to reason and logic, so the discovery of life a million light years away from us won't faze them in the least.  You show them the fossil record on Earth suggesting that life has evolved here for billions of years, and they're not at all impressed.  They still maintain that life began here 6,000 years ago or something.

I started a thread a few weeks ago on a recent poll indicating that a frighteningly large number of Americans believe in Creationism.

We really are fucked up as a nation.  :crazy:

Its just weird to me when I see patterns in life. Our bodies are made of veins the pump matter to a heart. I can't help but feel that we replicate that when Im traveling thru interstates going downtown. I think there are patterns in life.

Actually, the referenced poll is described in this article:

http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/12/30/us-usa-poll-evolution-idUSBRE9BT0LC20131230

The referenced thread dealt with the topic, however.

Oh absolutely.  The leaves on plants and trees, too.  They have veins too.

The basic design works, and nature favors stuff that works.

Nice video.

Reminded me of the lyrics from "Woodstock."

"We are stardust, we are golden, we are billion year old carbon."
