Yes. Do it.

Despite its ‘hellish’ environment, scientists argue there are good reasons to focus on ‘Earth’s sister’"

- hear hear! We could even construct dirigible airship bases that float at a pressure point similar to Earth'sNairn

- given ISS was put up in space in the mid 90's vs China's last year I'd say the ISS looks pretty fucking good given the time it's put inPonyBoy

can anyone answer this for me:
if the our universe started from a single infinitely small point and is now expanding outward at accelerating speeds, does that mean that the centre of our universe is hollow? Like we're at the edge of a bubble that's been expanding for 13 billion years.
If not, if it's more uniform throughout, does that mean that there is something at the centre continuously creating or ejecting matter? like a reverse black hole?
- Same thing with climate change, why give a shit, the sun is explanding and will literally consume the earth in a mere 12.5b years.shapesalad
- to your comment, what if universes expanding from a single point is just one scale and beyond that are millions and billions of universes in a endless expanse.shapesalad
- and yes, black holes within that, swallowing up universes and spitting them out.shapesalad
- the universe is infinite like time, thus it no center to grow from, but instead grows from its edges like a wildfire that started many billions of years ago.PioneerDJ303
- yeah I'm not sure but when we say universe do we mean our observable universe and everything beyond is the multiverse?
it would help to separate the two I thin_niko - so our observable universe must of had a finite start from the Big Bang and expanded outward as we're observing not to do_niko
- The universe does not "grow from its edges". All the matter that exists now existed back then, just more compressed.cannonball1978

Massive solar storm could cause global Internet blackout for months finds new research.
Solar storms are fascinating phenomena to observe. But the next time an eruption of mass and energy from the sun is likely to hit Earth, it could cause an Internet blackout lasting for months, according to new research.
A paper by Sangeetha Abdu Jyothi at the SIGCOMM 2021 data communication conference has postulated the likelihood of a solar storm hitting the planet. Jyothi, who is based at the University of California, Irvine, says that the storm could actually be a solar superstorm, comparing it to a black swan event.

The net worth of JeffBezos
is about $200-billion. A stack of that many dollar bills would reach twice as high as his Blue Origins Rocket launch.- Can we not "polute" this thread with the likes of Bezos? One post about it was more than enough.
And he only lasted about 2 minutes so enough with this shitgrafician - okey sorry, i didnt know there is the jeff bezos posting police around here .. ;)neverscared
- Well he went to the place called space today. So it stays.monospaced
- Pretty sure he just went to the upper atmosphere for a couple minutes, so not actual space space, but okaygrafician
- But space is the place.monospaced
- They went miles outside the atmosphere. Fully into outer space. The place they went. Today.monospaced
- Then tell us mono how exactly they didn't burned in that dinghy capsule on re-entry?grafician
- Because they didn’t come in fast obviously. They were mere miles out so the re entry was incredibly gentle vs coming back from higher orbit. Obviously.monospaced
- This means there was very little friction in comparison, and no risk of burning up as a result. I thought this was obvious to everyone.monospaced
- But that is irrelevant. Because they went to space by leaving earth atmosphere completely.monospaced
- mono everyone knows they didn't went to actual space, get a grip and stop your ignorant comments lolgrafician
- can't believe even you fell for the "marketing" smh...grafician
- Yes they did. Not sure why you’re even saying this. Yes. It’s marketing. For a trip to space. The place they went.monospaced
- Nothing I said was ignorant. You were the one ignorant to how re entry burn works not me. You’re also ignorant to the boundary of atmosphere apparently.monospaced
- Fun fact: not even the ISS is "outside the atmosphere" so practically not in "outer space" at over 200 Miles out.
Google these basic facts, will you?
Damngrafician - These people went to about 50 miles out, same with Branson, that's suborbital flight so in no way they were in no danger or in actual space for all purposesgrafician
- have you even seen the rockets SpaceX uses to send a crew capsule to the ISS?
@mono at least look for some basic info before arguing next time...grafician - here wikipedia updated the fucking pages: https://en.wikipedia…grafician
- here from NASA https://www.nasaspac…
all the data
where exactly do they "left the atmosphere" or "fully into outer spgrafician - This is the last time I'm arguing with you on anything, you clearly have some knowledge about *some* things, but overall you're at college levelgrafician
- The ISS is outside of our atmosphere. Of course it is. Everyone on it is in space.monospaced
- Every space agency recognizes this. It's in the books as fact. You are wrong, and I'm glad you won't argue anymore, because it's ridiculous.monospaced
- Oh, and your wiki post? FIRST sentence says it's outerspace. Oops.monospaced
- It doesn't have to go into orbit to be space flight, it just has to leave the atmosphere, which is about 60 miles up.monospaced
- Still laughing at how you were so ignorant you couldn't figure out why it didn't "burn up" on re entry. LOL.monospaced
- In the meantime, you should write to every newspaper on the planet, and national geographic, and let them know they're all wrong in their reports. LOL.monospaced
- I'll rest easy you won't argue with me anymore, because that's what you promised, and it's good, because you won't make a fool of yourself anymore.monospaced
