i cant contemplate the universe...brehs

[mrken12]

the universe is inside of us and we are inside of it.

 

[Still Benefited]

SMOKE POT AND BE ASTOUNDED BY YOUR PEDESTRIAN UNDERSTANDING OF PHYSICS, BREHS!

 

[BlackBieber]

think of all the shyt in your house, clothes thrown across the bed, lamps, beds, dressers, other random furniture.

think of all the cars on the road, buildings, homes, trees, animals, plants, humans, mountains, natural disasters.

and all of this is taking place in a tiny atom called earth, and when viewed from far away it's nothing more than an insignificant speck.

but if we zoom in closer, and closer, and closer, and closer, all of the earths wonders begin to reveal themselves.

the universe is teaching us a lesson that we continue to ignore, if we build microscopes that are 100x powerful than the most powerful microscopes we currently have, just imagine the wonders we could find within our own bodies.

each one of us is an unexplored universe.

just imagine that this picture represents the human body, and that white dot we call earth is a single atom within that body.

we know how amazing earth is because we can physically experience it, and to us it's HUGE, but one look at the picture above is a reminder that there's so much more in the galactical body AND the human body that we simply haven't discovered yet.

Universal body = Human Body
Earth = Atom

I know nikkas is afraid of sounding crazy so they hold back their theories out of fear of being called names, but we have a lot of brilliant minds here on theColi, and we should drop those theories because yours might spark an idea or provide more clarity to someone else's theory.

we all have those moments where we're like "I was thinking the exact same shyt breh"

but we're thinking from different perspectives, and if we post our perspectives which are simply pieces to a largely unsolved puzzle, the puzzle begins to form a better picture and someone else might notice that they have a corner piece to the puzzle and add it on.

The elite know these things, because the knowledge has been kept circulating amongst them, WE KNOW IT TOO, we just don't know it formally and it'll take us trial and error to get it right, but since we're all connected, If ONE person knows something, we ALL know it, we just have to figure out how to access our neurological internet and download that information.

meditation is one portal to accessing it. drugs is another. we need to figure this shyt out.

i dont believe none of wut u said but still thats some interesting shyt

Interplanetary travel can't come soon enough

Interplanetary travel can't come soon enough

Ppl talk about exploring that that's outside but rarely talk about exploring what's within themselves

 

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

not to derail the thread and be on some bullshyt

but this is EXACLTY why the mystery of creation is not contained in the bible or the quran. its much bigger than that

You've never read the Quran, so stop pretending you have.

"And it is We who have constructed the firmament with might, and verily, it is We who are steadily expanding it."

You should speak less. Going out of your way to display ignorance is a double L.

you see that dot.....thats US, thats earth....a tiny dot in the vastness of space.....


This is only our galaxy......

Pale Blue Dot image. Voyager 1 was about 4 billion miles away when it took this pic. You guys gotta peep what Sagan said about it though.

From this distant vantage point, the Earth might not seem of any particular interest. But for us, it's different. Consider again that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that in glory and triumph they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner. How frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds. Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity – in all this vastness – there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.

The Earth is the only world known, so far, to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment, the Earth is where we make our stand. It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.

S/N in case you didn't already know, Voyager 1 has officially left our Solar System. Astronomy brehs. Peep it and respect it.

Thats Why I Find It Funny When People Wonder About The Meaning Of Life And Their Purpose In Life And Saying They Were MENT To Be This And That Nah STFU

Were Ants In An Ant Farm, We Think We Matter Cuz We're Living It, You Live You Die Thats It

Sounds Sad And Meaningless But Its The Truth, Just Enjoy Ur Time Alive

 

[Dameon Farrow]

All this vastness and no other signs of life so far. That would tell me that we are pretty special.

Odds truly against us being the only ones out there. We are one galaxy literally in an enormous ocean of other galaxies. Really want your mind blown? There's something called a Particle Horizon. Due to the expansion of the universe there are truckloads of galaxies out there that we can't see with our best telescopes simply because light from them hasn't reached Earth yet. The issue with there being other intelligent life is this....the distance between galaxies is immense. The issue would be running into each other. It's really like the odds of ending up randomly meeting some hermit in China when you work in San Francisco and don't have a car because you can catch the bus to work. The distance and lack of means to visit/travel really make it difficult. Add that to the fact that you aren't actively thinking about each other like that due to your lack of interaction. Think about how many civilizations have come and gone before we came into the scene. Now that's a mind blower.

Just off the size and scope of the know universe, there HAS to be another planet somewhere with exotic humanoid hoes.

Aye I'm not close-minded to the idea at all. And I understand the vastness of the universe. But even if there is more life out there, that life is special too.

No I was just saying. I wasn't trying to make it look like you were against the idea. And you're right, all life is special. Anything that requires what's needed to form any life in the first place is beyond special.
