30 years ago our best scientists thought black holes were a myth.

Some current scientists theorize that our entire universe may be a black hole or its a Star Trek like gateway to another universe.

Now, Stephen Hawking (maybe the smartest man on the planet) came out recently with a paper that said the event horizon may not be so clear. That its an apparent horizon. Which means in theory a black hole can show up anywhere.

Bottom line in 10 years, what we know will be totally different.

Thats the beauty of Science. Always learning more and more about our surroundings. Its a damned good time to be alive my friends.

so bad ass.:thumb:

Yeah thats why I'm excited for my son. Hell, I've rediscovered my long ago lost love for astrophysics. The next 50 years is going to be an amazing time to work in the field.

100 years ago everyone thought our galaxy was our Universe until Edwin Hubble discovered that the Andromeda nebula was another galaxy. Now Scientist say that there may be over 300,000 galaxies in our Universe and each one may have over 300,000 stars. The largest Galaxy found so far has 60 million stars. What if there are over 300,000 Universes or more beyond ours. If God is infinite maybe the multiverse is also. Just saying. :hmmm:

That doesn't really look like a cosmic bruise to me.

according to Stan Lee we are universe 616

in DC we are earth one, but there is an earth prime
so it gets confusing
and then there is the bleed...

So fascinating...but makes you a little dizzy trying to make sense of it.

Wait

You're an astrophysicist?

Why haven't you helped me with my ****ing astronomy?

This is what I' saying. I just have no way of contexualizing any of this.

Keep posting this stuff Dave. I've become increasingly interested in it the last couple of years.

The bigger question is what's beyond those?

That's a really interesting stuff.

It's not easy to get started today -- your energy just seems drained from the moment you get up. That can be an asset, though, as you may find it easier to sort through your various plans.

I know.
