I've always wanted to be a bird.

my gif when

hello /v/ refugees

There's an XKCD like that I think

Did we ever send that probe with a heat lamp to io? Theres like a mile of ice, then a lot of liquid water and it has a molten w/e core like Earth. People thought stuff could be alive down there...

>>3582011

It was posted in the /v/ thread most of us are from. Someone started to sagebomb it so we moved here.

Fun was had

>>3582015
bumping for my bros, and don't worry, you'll give up.

We had a second quasi-moon and we didn't even know it

If he's doing it on /sci/ I hope he's banned. Permanently.

>>3582015
why you mad bro

bumping your sage

starting off with one of my favorite feels:

http://atinyglimpse.ytmnd.com/

>>3582027
Yeah, everyone needs to just report him. There are mods on /sci/

>>3582024
allow me to bump those sages

we at /sci/ don't hate everything, unlike you /v/irgins

he stopped saging the /v/ thread. I dont understand, does he want us to go back?

Someone's mad today

>>3582037
Taking the time to sage a thread on two boards, and reset router after getting banned, you sir sound mad.

>>3582049
grow up kid
go back to /b/

>>3582047
It reminds me of something...

>Reposting from the /v/ thread

Here's a (colored-in) photograph of the Great Red Spot. I will remind you that the Great Red Spot is a hurricane three times larger than the Earth which has been going on for over 400 years.
Seeing that Jupiter has depth really helps with the "oh my god how can there be things this massive" terror, doesn't it?

>>3582037
Mods can ban faster than you can reset.

What's the matter? Did you fail science class at school?

I was just thinking about deep space exploration. I had been reading w­iki articles all morning.

so how do you think we'll be able to get to another habitable planet light-years away from us? Or are we as a race doomed to perish once the sun supernovas on us?

>>3582067
All you're doing is bumping the thread. Every time you post, multiple people bump the thread for you. Really, you're helping to keep this alive. Ironic, really.

It's alright, we, as the more intelligent board, are willing to take you in and teach you the error of your summer ways.

>Galaxy with 8 times the stars as ours

Also an interesting fact about that picture, many of the similar colour galaxies are in fact doubles, the light has bent and produced phantom galaxies who's light originates from the same source

we have about five billion years before the sun, Sol, begins to expand and collapse. and it would probably Nova, not Supernova. around the same time, despite the expansion of the universe, our galaxy, the milky way, and a neighboring one, the Andromeda galaxy, or slated to collide with one another.

im sharing this, though, because i think faster than lightspeed travel, let along entry level practical interstellar travel (ie, subluminous), will be doable within hundreds of years, let alone BILLIONS.

He came here from /v/

This thread originated on /v/, and he started saging it because /v/ is /b/'s little brother

>>3582117

But when and how will it develop to the point where we can reach other habitable planets? Light seems to be the fastest thing out there, but yet even if we can travel at that speed it will take a long time to even reach another galaxy.

black holes, relativistic time dilation, the expansion of the universe [spoiler]and alchemy[/spoiler] have all been PROVEN.

Awesome free and open source program where you can see the sky as it is at any point in time and any place on the planet. Includes moons, planets, galaxies, NGC, etc.

No one's mad. You're just being a pest.

>>3582162
I am just wondering why you are saging a thread on the correct board. You stopped posting on the /v/ one that is still going on.

/sci/, I have a question.

How exactly would we "mine" He3 on the moon?

>>3582156
Galaxies haven't even been "proven". Quit throwing that word around

okay. not that i mentioned galaxies, but, "the existence of those things is confirmed". are you making the argument that proven is a math word so is incorrect the way i was using it?

ps: galaxies exist, deal with it

1. We don't need to go outside of our galaxy to find a habitable planet.
2. If we can't find a habitable planet, WE'LL MAKE ONE

if god forbid this does reach the bump limit, I'll make a new one. He won't be smart enough to find it.

Also use the /v/ thread. He hasn't saged that in a while.

>spamming a thread on the correct board
>not spamming the one currently on /v/ that people are still posting on

is this guy retarded or what?

also, has anyone loaded up the full giant pictures yet? I cheated and looked at the 6kx6k versions when nothing loaded after 5 minutes

>>3582207
It's expanding towards nothing that's the beauty of it

>>3582207

we don't really know. i've always liked to think that the universe has a wraparound effect, like in text editors or vertical mario levels.

How dare you ruin that song, faggot.

Nothing. Nothing at all.
There's nothing beyond the universe. No stars. No space. No time.
Absolutely
Nothing

try using save link as, or target, or whatever, and save them. sometimes, SOMETIMES, you can save a 60 or 500 megabyte photo before it loads.

I remember when I seriously thought the universe was like how it was in men in black, just a bunch of marbles. And I thought one day Id find one...

god damn I was retarded back then. Still would be extremely fucking cool if that was real though

Sage child is back in /v/. Continue on, gentlemen.

What is the maximum speed that current human-made ships/probes can achieve in space?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EiXpp-i442s

Not sure if UFO show or not but talks about meteor strike that obliterated Tunguska

>>3582294
Voyager 1 travels 13 km/s

Not sure if anything is faster

Did anyone else notice the faggot is using emoticons?

Jesus fucking christ where do these 12 year olds come from

>>3582296
mini black hole theory?

>>3582307

I'm seeing more emoticons on 4chan ... it's quite worrying.

>>3582294
There is no maximum speed for anything, well technically you can't go faster than light but you can go an insignificant amount slower than light. Say, it takes one year and twelve seconds for light to reach some object. For a ship it could take one year, twelve seconds and one millionth of a second.

Wait what am I even rambling about

>>3582312
I think he meant was is the fastest thing humans have made

>>3582317
Theoretical maximum limit doesn't exist, we could build a ramscoop ship that, once again theoretically, could reach speeds just below light speed.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22pk2polNeA
this makes me wonder, what do they actually have to hide from us? any opinions? also 3:10

>>3582296
I have a wall of text from Strugarsky brothers' "Monday Starts on Saturday" about this event... but you will hate me for it.
Should I post it?

>>3582338
I never said anything about a maximum limit or light speed.

I simply said that the guy you quoted was probably asking what was the fastest speed achieved by a manmade object thus far.

>>3582338
What if a large space ship was to reach just under light speed, then shot out a object, be it small ship, or projectile, with a set of magnets?

>>3582308
Some think it might have been.

>>3582348
I won't read it. Someone else might

>>3582348
Whoops, "Monday Begins on Saturday" is the correct translation, sorry.

>>3582354
The object would obviously go even faster than the ship, but it would still not reach light speed
It's funny to think, really
You can't go as fast as light according to current scientific theories, but there's also no maximum limit for speed you can achieve
You can keep hugging closer and closer to the speed of light, arriving at a destination one millionth of a second later than a ray of light

>>3582355
Welcome back, child. Enjoy your nachos?

>all sages and spam cleared
Thank you mod.

Thanks mods for deleting that spammy shite.

>>3582354
>>3582354
If two objects each traveling at 99% the speed of light are traveling towards each other, they are approaching each other at less than the speed of light. Don't ask me for the math

And the discussion ends once the spammer is taken care of. You really are a bunch of hypocrites.

>>3582443

The /v/ thread 404'd. So we can continue here.

Or make him really mad and remake the thread.

dat asteroid

or comet?

>>3582443
Then let's keep this shit going.

Anyone else excited by the fact they've finally found water on Mars? That means that, debatably, the most significant scientific discovery mankind will ever have the pleasure of experiencing is within our lifetimes: life outside of this world. Even if you think there are other rewarding discoveries to be made, you can't deny that this will change humanity forever; and it could happen before we die.

On a similar note, there HAS to be some sort of life out there on Titan, with that kind of atmosphere. We need to go there and set up shop.

>>3582464
What was that moon with the frozen seas? There could also be life underneath the ice.

If some of you guys are afraid of looking at pictures you should really listen to this
