50 billion miles of nothing

Speaking of trolls :321GFY

Yeah... that's one of those facts that puts things a bit more in perspective for me now and then, personally. :winkwink:

your board tracker go off? :1orglaugh

The backward and dumb are the idiots who can't even manage their own environment (literally their own backyard), - can't even produce the level of products they consume, can't generate their own power/fuel, can't even produce their own food ad nausea - THAT is backward and dumb.

Did I say there was something wrong with exploring the universe? Nope. Get a clue before typing shit - but again.. it's GFY so expect little else.

you sure sounded like it from your first post.

you do realize those problems you listed may never be solved. in the meantime, people shouldn't explore space until we cure all diseases?

are you calling me a troll?

Interesting, love read stuff like this

Two faced might be better

baddog, i make money, you take pictures.

call me suzie.

Don't worry - nobody will be exploring "six billion trillion miles of nothing" anytime soon.

Meanwhile, there are areas of this planet which are totally unsustainable at varying levels (including industrialized countries), other areas being totally fucked (again, including industrialized countries), around 16,000 kids dying of starvation daily (and increasing), a billion people live on less than $1 per day and many more dying simply thru inadequate and often simple healthcare. The number of "rich" populations (with adequate resources - tho these many be leeched from the poor) is 1 billion, compared to over 5 billion "poor" (with insufficent resources).

As a planet it may appear we have a lot to learn before attempting to transfer this fuck up elsewhere and it may be more appropriate to address that now than speculate in conquering space. Gaining further knowledge of other planets is not an issue - dealing with our own planet leaves plenty work to be done.

Sure.. they may never be a cure for all diseases. Further diseases most likely will be created in the future.

i am going to school you on some 6th grade science. the way Copernicus discovered the world was round was by observing the stars and the planets. at the time this may have sounded ridiculous, wasting time looking at the sky -there was wars going on somewhere!

let me repeat something, THEY STILL THOUGHT THE FUCKING EARTH WAS FLAT.

nobody knew what his theories would lead to. it turns out the fucking earth really is round.

let me recap for you, the guy was the first person to say that the fucking earth wasn't flat. look around, shit looks flat to me.

now that we know the earth is round and you know everything, there must not be anything else for us to figure out. looking past idiots like yourself on earth has solved world problems before, i guess you know it's not going to happen again :1orglaugh

Yeah, yeah - the earth is flat and everything is rosy - pointless.

I don't need a education via GFY - but thanks for your wealth of wisdom.

dipshit :1orglaugh

The exact words you'd expect - well done :1orglaugh:thumbsup

Greywolf, let me suggest an education not via GFY, but a school. apparently you didn't pay attention at your last one. :thumbsup

You are an idiot - grow up try and get a clue and the education you clearly missed - and meantime try not to advise anyone on anything - and try not to discuss anything - it's embarassing :thumbsup

So glad to see all the LOVE here on GFY ....again......lol:2 cents:


:1orglaugh

Sometimes that brotherly love just oozes *lol*

Or maybe tolerance reaches breaking point :winkwink:

Miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiike

:smokin

I know - it's hard to avoid noticing :winkwink::thumbsup

this is why gfy is so entertaining. you have smart people and stupid people. in real life, we would probably never associate. on the board we get to argue who is the smart one.

thanks for the credit for that quote, but i believe it belongs to socrates. you stupid fucking human.

Well - you started this post off with a balanced mind, but then went back to the gutter.

Teacher gives you two sticky gold stars for trying - but must do better :1orglaugh

wouldn't you say that the thing about stupid people is that they don't know they're stupid?

I could not agree more dear chap :1orglaugh

This also applies to total ignorance - they just don't know how ignorant they really are :thumbsup

don't fool yourself by thinking that we're both not in almost total ignorance of how the universe works. :upsidedow

For some reason I thought they might be talking about Paris Hilton's brain.

that is pretty cool

Ok, I asked how is it possible to measure nothing.

And still, how is it possible? You're not measuring something, you're measuring lack of something, which makes no sense at all.

So, to say that there's six billion trillion brazillian miles of nothing is nonsensical. What they ought to say is that there's stuff, then a gap of six trillion zillion miles, then more stuff.

But even that is nonsense. The stuff that isn't there isn't measurable because it doesn't exist!

So, stating that there is six billion trillion miles of nothing is nonsense. It's not true.

kooom baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay ya ma lord, koom baaaaaaaaaay ya!

wow why are ther so many gfy users with six billion trillion miles of nothing between their ears:upsidedow

I cant imagine that many miles.

Astrid heading this way now. In a few years. I have no like because it wouldnt matter if i did.

Empty space for empty minds !

^^

.

So they did a brain scan of George Bush?

6,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 miles of nothing..... holy shit

I'm not making any claims or assuming anything - your point???? :)

Don't bother answering - it's just a lot of assumption and stupid GFY testosterone bullshit and not worth the effort :pimp

haha... my mind cant take those numbers. Will lead to a crash

lol can relate. Speed of light travels around the earth six times in one second. So trying to grasp the distance it travels in a billion years kinda mindblowing:helpme

It's the nebraska of space.

and did you know that every galaxy has a black hole in it? and did you know that our galaxy is traveling thru the universe on a crash course towards the andromeda galaxy, but it wont reach it for one million years........

Now that's six billion trillion tax dollars wasted.

That's about four fingers ?

Think of matter expressed as a gas station.

You come up to a gas station on the side of the road, and there's a sign beside a gas station on some near-deserted road that says "6 sextillion miles until the next gas station"

That's what we're talking about here.

Sure, there's stuff, tumbleweeds, grass... maybe some stuff that's beyond our perception - that we can't see (oxygen, other gases, etc) - but no gas stations.... or, relating back to what's actually going on... no matter. Just empty space*.


* for the most part. As the article says, there may be bit and pieces here and there, just nothing cohesive in the standard sense of nebulae, star systems, etc.

If there is nothing, they wouldn't be able to measure it :2 cents:

You dont think the idea of infinity is mind boggling?

Again, that's like saying we can't measure the distance between gas stations because there's no gas stations in between the 2 gas stations.
