…the scientific equivilent of saying ‘God is responsible’ eh? How about looking at that mathematically. Here’s a peice of technobollocks to get your head around. What if god existed and by definition had also never existed. Both existance and nonexistance might cancel each other out but no… God does not exist but infinite time ( or even infinite 0 spacetime exists) everything is possible (or not or both) . So popping out of the aether is God and their (it’s?) ability to create (by existance and observation alone) the multiverse: all universes, all dimensions; past, present and future. So the question remains… Is god not just a psychological illusion or a socialogical construct but the first ever Boltzmann’s brain. Hey maybe that one created more brains modelled after its own…!?

Christbuckets. Just thinking about each of those galaxies containing hundreds of billions of stars makes me frightened. Tears literally come to my eyes whenever I try to comprehend anything of this scale. It is truly humbling to realise that we occupy such a ridiculously tiny point in the vastness of space. I mean… DAMN

I can’t believe a photon can ‘live’ for this amount of time?!

Nice video well put together and giving some insight into the vastness of the universe (the type of insight that turns your brain to mush).

Was a bit confused about how we could be recieving light from galaxies travelling ‘faster’ than the speed of light away from us ’till I thought through the fact that what we’re seeing is 13 billion ((or 6,000)) years old and not ‘real-time’, as such.

But the bit about travelling faster than light away from us still does my head in…and all the explanations I can find seem entwined within the ‘dark energy’ explanation, which is physics version of ‘we don’t have a clue so we’ll slap a name on it and apply it as an explanation when we’re stuck’…

if there is such thing as an infinite universe then that means that there is infinite probability, infinite earths all with tiny differences, that makes me go funny

if the universe is infinite, it’s age is infinite also (aka ageless). if the universe is finite, then yes, it has an age. but then it also is a form with edges. if the universe has an edge, what is on the other side?

at some point, something must have come from nothing. at some point, there is infinity. our minds will never comprehend it, we can only realise it…

I have seen the original of this before it was put into 3D, have to say though, i don’t think we will ever truly know how old the universe is.With all the problems and fusses everyone faces each and every day we often forget the true wonders that are not only on this planet but stretch out into the deepest and most amazing universe that this small speck of a planet called Earth resides in, we’re constantly polluting the skies with lights we don’t need and preventing ourselves from seeing our universe and the amazing sights and displays it often puts on for us for free, looking up into the sky at night in an area that is completely free from lights makes you realise just how small we really are, looking at Jupiter on a clear night makes me realise that as it is.

Just think, there could be something out there, within those galexies looking right back at us!
