the amazing space ship that is earth
« on: February 04, 2010, 09:45:30 PM »
Right now you are moving with our planet at about 67,000 miles per hour around the sun. That’s about 19 miles per second. Sound fast? Other planets orbit faster and slower than the Earth.  Pluto, the slowest “planet” is moving at 2.9 miles per second. Mercury, the fastest, orbits the sun at 29.8 miles per second. For comparison light moves at 186,282 miles per second

This is incredible!

And the sun's velocity in orbit around our galaxy's black hole center is between 210 and 240 km/s.

And the Galaxy is moving at approximately 630 km per second. No wonder we live so long and hardly age.

here is a video which gives you some perspective of how insignificant we really are in our solar system alone.

Damn! That computes to 671,000,000 mph! But what is the reason for the speed of light to be exactly that figure and not a bit faster nor slower ??? And what happens to that number when an object is speeding away from you at 20,000 mph ? Or towards you at 20,000 ?

What prevents the speed of light from speeding up or slowing down? And when that light leaves an object, does it start slow and gradually reach 186,282 or does it jump to that speed immediately?

Johnny, it really is time for you to read "Dancing Wu Li Masters" .... the easiest study of Quantum Mechanics presently available.

A slight understanding of QM will blown your mind!

Get that book and read one chapter a night and then think about it as you fall asleep.

It will change your life forever!

Or maybe start with a general knowledge of the theory of relativity. Understanding relativity first kind of helps with a better understanding of QM.

to watch that video and still claim we are all alone in this universe is retarded

im sorry but hes far from an OG hes a failcan dick rider

he should act more grown up and wise for being his age

props for him to compete and pose for bros, nothing wrong with that, i hope his trophy is satisfying enough for him to not want to ride my dick anymore

Get a pair of decent binoculars first before spending serious cash on a telescope. A good pair of binocs is excellent for beginners and can get you very detailed images of nearby planets and constellations. Oh, and learn to read star charts as it will help you tons when looking for something specific. Lastly, if you live in a big city, forget it, too much pollution. You need to go out in the wilderness to get a decent look.
