Boswell Posted January 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 (edited) A few things I can't get my head round -How did the biggest explosion of all time (I think ) come from no where?Why are we bothering exploring our universe when the human race will be gone in a fraction of its life?Is us finally starting to figure this stuff out and our planet going to shit (global warming, terrorism) a coninsidence?How far will we get realistically get in my life time (16)?Do we even know whats passed our milky way? If so how? If not are we just guessing?Will it ever be possible to time travel?Even If NASA found or have found something amazing would they really tell the rest of the world?Surely one day our natural resources will run out and we wont be able to get into space again?I think the universe may have been designed to keep us on our planet and we some how we surpassed our expectations, anyone agree?Could my life be a dream?When we die we will always be part of the universe in some way or another, right?Will it ever be possible for a human to life forever? I personally think you would lose your mind.I could go on............. Edited January 25, 2008 by Boswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroMatt Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 A few things I can't get my head round -How did the biggest explosion of all time (I think ) come from no where?Well it is only a theory not gospel truth, you have to bear that in mind when looking at any science really. This is just an extrapolation of what the unizerse is doing (expanding).Why are we bothering exploring our universe when the human race will be gone in a fraction of its life?Chances are the humans as we know them wont be around for a large amount of time unless we do start to explore, colonise and spread out around the solar system.Is us finally starting to figure this stuff out and our planet going to shit (global warming, terrorism) a coninsidence?Of courseHow far will we get realistically get in my life time (16)?Colonisation of the Moon "The first four astronauts will land for a short visit in 2020, but it will take until at least 2024 to prepare for a fully functional presence with rotating crews", possibly even Mars if there are no unforseen problems.Do we even know whats passed our milky way? If so how? If not are we just guessing?Telescopes like hubble allow us to see outside of our galaxyWill it ever be possible to time travel?No unless there is someway of making stuff masslessEven If NASA found or have found something amazing would they really tell the rest of the world?Don't think anyone apart from NASA would know that for sure, there are bound to be loads of paranoid people around thinking they are hiding aliens or whatever.last few are silly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonMack Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 My favourite thought is that we're all in a giant came of Sim City, where each person is controlled by someone, in a giant world above ours, so in reality we're all in a computer game, but the graphics and everything is so good.

James-M Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Maybe we're expanding due to a 'White Hole', a theory that is the opposite to a black hole by, instead of sucking stuff in, pushes it out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeroMatt Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 (edited) If there were a white hole it would be so immensely bright I think it would have been found allready. Just imagine how much matter would be needed to 'push' the universe out at such a rate. Edited February 14, 2008 by ZeroMatt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan. Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 ryans brother here(got bored and im pretty smart)1.we have proved that we evolved from monkeys due to the common ancestor,the fact of we are homo-sapiens,the last spiecies of the human race.2.Space is block due to the fact of things absorbing the light(planets)3.other life?it could be anything,even bacteria really and then again it will probably take to the end of the world before we leave this galaxy4.how did the universe create is a mystery,people say god,i believe in god but its more imaginary than anything.In the old dasy people said that things fell because of god,now we know its gravity,god is really just what we say to something we cant understand in my viewHope that helped peopleJordan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich J Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 How come if we evolved from monkeys, monkeys still exist? Does that mean only certain monkeys evolved? Because surely they would all evolve may it be at different rates or with different characteristics but surely everything must evolve? The universe is massive, i think there is definately life out there, may even be another set of us?, but will we ever find them? Probably not. Its hard to imagine how insignificant we actually are in this universe because, just stop and think, have we ever done anything towards it? Think how small we are! Humans are not the most important beings on this planet. Nature is the most important thing. Humans can destroy the earth but eventually it wil repair itself. This discussion is deep!

This discussion is deep!I don't know about the monkey thing but everything will be evolving so monkeys we have now may have just been slightly less evolved back when we were changing from primates to human. Maybe we will see monkeys start to develop into more human like beings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haz Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Evolution is a product of the environment. If a species lives in trees, then every time an infant is born with a mutation that benefits the animal living in trees, there is a high chance this animal will go on to mate, with the possibility that the infant of that next generation will carry the same mutation, as animals breed this mutation will spread through the species as the older generations before the mutations die out.Breeding race horse works in exactly the same way. The structure and proportions of the leg make a great deal of difference how fast the horse will run and how smooth it will be. As the small mutations are passed from generation to generation of race horse, they will become gradually more suited to running at faster and faster speeds, because those mutations are benefitting them, and making it more likely they will be used for breeding.In terms of people and monkeys, I guess ages ago at some point, the environment we were living in it became necessary to outsmart our prey/whatever, which meant we had to become more more intelligent, the intelligent would prosper and more than likely reproduce more than the less smart counterparts. If we were separate from another group of primates, of the smae species, and breeding did not reach the other group, then they would evolve separately, each evolving to suit thier environment, separating the species even more.If you see what I mean?

Rich J Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Yeah understand its a product of the environment, with horses and cows and stuff its selective breeding i think? But if you think about it surely the other animals would have evolved in some way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haz Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Most of them have.Look at garden birds, Great Tits, Blue Tits, Long Tail Tit, Coal Tit, loads of tits, all the same genus, but evolved differently.Cows probably haven't always been cows.And the reason they are other animals is because they have evolved in some way, at one point, they may have been the same species, deer and gazelle for example. It's jsut that they have evolved so far, they are no longer anything like each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan once more this is all to do with Darwins origine of species,survival of the fittest eg:all animals come from one common ancestor ,that evoled from bacteria,then the'branches'(us)adapt to our enviroment and genetic mutations happen,then one of the branches will die out but another may survive,such as us homo-sapiens.monkeys still exist because we branched off,they didnt.

Shaun H Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Shouldn't there be millions of skeletons of our ape/human ancestors? No because they rot and decay into nothing. Unless fossilised which only happens in extremely rare circumstances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
