'Brain-Bendy stuff' I just read somewhere else.

[John Backlund]

If you put one of every animal in a bag, and then picked one out, you have a one-in-five chance of it being a Beetle.

You can fit all of the other planets, including Pluto, between the Earth and Moon. (This one doesn't surprise me all that much).

A million seconds is 12 days,
A billion seconds is 31 years,
A trillion seconds is 31,688 YEARS!!!!

Ok, now for the scary stuff...

Our sun is 864,000 miles in radius, equal to 109 Earth's.

At first, that doesn't sound particularly impressive, but you could fit 1.3 million Earths into it's volume, or 1000 Jupiters.

The insanity continues!

The red hypergiant star, Stephenson 2-18, believed to be the largest star found (so far), would require 2150 of our suns to cross it's diameter, and it's volume is estimated at 10,000,000,000 (ten billion) times that of our sun. If placed at the center of our solar system, it's outside perimeter would encompass the orbit of Saturn.

If you goto JAMES WEBB SPACE TELESCOPE FB. Page you'll find out the earth is flat and space doesn't exist.

I've known that since about 1969, when I figured everything out in a temporary flash of cosmic understanding and brilliance while contemplating the sensations of eating spoonfuls of creamy peanut butter and watching the woodgrain swirl on my closet door.

You know, when you think about it, 'space', being.....what? space? Isn't 'a thing' at all, but merely a distance between other material objects that are perched out there in the nothingness.

Oh, sure, we could argue that 'space' isn't empty, and has all manner of minute crud floating about in it, but separating all that minute crud is still the pure emptiness of space, which is again, nothing but a distance between things that are not nothing.

I could be wrong here (and usually am), but the word 'space', in the cosmological sense, is just five letters arranged in a certain order to put a name on a concept that is pretty much incomprehensible.

I hope this helps.

What they are saying tho is that we live in some sort of dome and that outer space is an illusion.... They do say though that we still carry some neanderthal genes to this day.... It is well represented by those people.

Maybe I finally found my one true strength because I think I comprehend space and emptiness. I also understand zero.

 

[glenlivet]

"I also understand zero."

Oh yea smart guy, divide by zero then....since you have a good understanding .
(said with a smile....no real offense or slight intended)

That's when things stop making sense and the woodgrain really starts to swirl.

 

[glenlivet]

There is no such thing as a perfect circle or sphere.
They are all just relative to how far you are willing to carry out PI.

.....but the perfect PI is strawberry rhubarb

You should have no trouble understanding the nothingness of what is meant by our word for 'death' then, another feeble five letter word to describe an undescribable, nothingness.

I'm probably starting to tread where I shouldn't here, but pondering the incomprehensible is a deep, deep, rabbit hole, regardless of whether it's looking outward, or inward....so here's cute kitty picture....

Before Albert Einstein had an interest in physics he was a dedicated violinist, starting out at the age of 6 and playing Mozart sonatas by age 13.

It was around this time he deduced his first formula: E=F♭

A hummingbird flaps their wings 55 times per second.
Which explains why they can hover in a car going 65 mph, while humming "Free Bird". OK, I lied about the last part.

 

[DugT]

Death doesn't seem complicated to me either. We need to have a word for it. Dead and death work well enough for me. If those words are insufficient for you, what would be a good sentence or paragraph or book that explains it? Is religion getting in the way? When my cat died, I said said, "Bosco is dead". The same thing with my friends and relatives.

My wild guess is you dislike the concepts of nothing and death more than the words.
