I had a thought...

[CrazyCat]

lol
all it is some people looked at open star cluster e.g the Pleiades to figure out which way the majority of matter was moving in the universe and it turns out that the majority of matter is moving to a singul point this is evidence for a multiverse because if a universe was close enough to our the gravitational pull would pull all the galaxy's to it
the scientist that discovered this called the movement dark flow

Question
*raises paw*

But if there was a universe right next to ours, what guarantees that their laws of physics will be like ours and that they'll have a universal attractive force that acts just like our gravity?
So I guess my question is: "is it possible that there is a multiverse but each universe is entirely isolated from one another due to differing laws of physics?"

im not sure if the void is at the closest point i just know its their and that is one of the theories as to what it is

The void you're talking about kinda reminds me of a Lagrange point. Is it something like that or is it something completely different.

[Peanut B. Rawket]

The stuff we see, smell, feel, hear, and taste, are all just illusions made by our brain.
That's also kinda spooky o-o

Which direction is up? or down? OR LEFT? OR RIGHT!? WHERE AM I!? ;~;
...Maybe there really only is, One Direction.
I think i just solved the puzzle, guys...

[Karric]

their is no garentee that the other universe has the same laws of physics their is no garentee that it had a energetic start like our universe did but we know that dark flow is their and their has to be a reason for it ether that or its just a massive coincidence

[Teiko]

So let's say that there is a parallel universe in "close" proximity to us and we are observing the effects of it's gravity. Let's imagine that it is headed for us (much like the way we are approaching Andromeda and will eventually collide). What would happen when two universes, each with potentially different laws of physics, collide with eachother? O . O

[Karric]

that is why i love physics we don't know or at least i don't know im sure their might be a hypothesis out their but right now we don't know and no one will know we may never know
but if the 2 universes whir exactly the opposite in every way they could destroy each other each universe could become extremely unstable and end up destroying each other kind of like destructive interference but if they whir the same they could combine kind of like 2 black holes combining or constructive interference
this is just one possibility of what might happen

and the suparvoid is just a large area with no stars or anything that is colder than the rest of the universe its weird

My crazy though? Peanut's Peanut!

[Erasmuth]

Here's a thought:

The observable universe is roughly 90 * 10⁹ light years across.  It's simply massive.  All of the galaxies to explore and planets to see, and all the scientific discoveries to be made in this large space... and we'll never be able to go there.   

Because of the expansion of the universe vs. the attraction matter feels by the effect of gravity, everything outside of out local group of galaxies is moving away from us at speeds that would require billions if years for us to get there, at light speed.  Let alone the speeds we'd actually be able to muster.  And if you wanna go FTL travel via a warp drive or something, then you'll have to warp space-time faster than the rate new space-time is coming between you and wherever you want to go.  This is something that becomes harder and harder to do the greater the distances you want to travel.

So, while the universe holds many things that are both beautiful and terrifying.  It seem's we're doomed to only look, and never touch, the vast majority of it.

theoretically their are 10 intelligent races of animals including humans in the universe 
isn't that cool we worked it out using the drake equation

10 or more.
Universe is big, ya know?

[Teiko]

From what i recall, the Drake equation stated something more along the lines of

"2,000 races in the Milky Way, and ~100 intelligent civilizations in the Milky Way". Something like that. Certainley not the entire universe

Post Merge: July 07, 2015, 10:27:18 PMOkay, so according to an article published in 2011, the estimated intelligent ETs in the Milky Way alone is 50.

[Erasmuth]

Actually, the drake equation doesn't currently give us any true estimated value for civilizations in the galaxy, intelligent or otherwise.  For those who don't know it, here's the drake equation.

N = R^* x f_p x n_e x f_l x f_i x f_c x L

http://www.seti.org/drakeequation is where you can find the meaning for all of these terms.

Now, thanks to the likes of the telescopes Hubble, Kepler, and many others, we have a fair estimate of the first three terms.  However, the last four terms are yet to be known, and no amount of mathematical hocus pocus will allow us to solve for those variables.  So whenever you see someone saying "According to the Drake Equation." That just means they assumed some of the variables to demonstrate their point, which is fine so long as they don't say their result is the definitive answer.

Here a thought. If a soul leave after ur body passed. I always thought that it get broken up and spread out as in time. As the cave men that gotten smarter probably had some of the soul part from the future which allow us to evolved into what we are now. And we getting smarter by the Gen so we could be getting some soul part from the future ourselves.

Imagine how different society would be if there were massive creatures, like dragons or something, that hunted humans and were hard as hell to kill.

Hate to say it but


they'd be kinda dead. I know I normally stick up for humans like "hey they're actually pretty cool", but they're really quick to try and wipe out whatever threatens them. I mean ancient societies would be totally different, but as soon as we managed to make things like fighter jets and missile launchers, it'd be kind of over. It'd be a huge shame to see genocide of a species, but I don't believe that society would show mercy to its killers, human or otherwise. Still an interesting thought, especially when you think back to the Romans and stuff.

My random thought? Why does water taste better after you eat ice cream?
