Galaxies Underestimated

[OVERKILL]

Was there a 460 Galaxy? Or better a 427?

Groan.

FWIW, I’m inclined to believe in an infinite‑universes reality, despite having no evidence to support it.

My mouse mind has always thought this. There is no end. Should there be? Why?

Then there is, life changing: https://www.autoevolution.com/news/...-that-sparked-the-horsepower-wars-256659.html

Galaxie 500. 232 through 427 CI

I don't pretend to begin to understant astronomy, Particle Physics, ect. But I like to touch it through the minds and work of others. Attending the KIPAC Lecture series and all the others around here is falt-out fascinating.

If you ever get to hear Prof. Brian Cox, by all means do so!

All those freezing nights out looking at the sky with my 10" telescope and then one day I bought a hot tub. The sky looks so much better while laying back in hot bubbling water.

Awkchually... it was a 428.

Ford put so many different engines in the Galaxy, it was nuts. 223 and 240 straight sixes; 272, 292, 312 Y blocks , 260, 289, 302, 351 Windsors; 332, 352, 390, 406, 427, 428 FE blocks; 400, 429, and 460 335 series blocks.

Whew! I probably missed a couple, too.

Like the Vulcan "Live Long and Prosper" sign?

That's the one!

Cool. It's interesting how little we know about the universe. I still think it's nuts that several stars we see have already burned out yet we still see light from them.

That can even be applied to our own sun. As the light emitting from it takes ~8 minutes 20 second to get here, we're seeing the sun where is was in that amount of time...in the past.

No, but it should be limited to the practical application of knowledge, built on other known laws, which are well known and well established. It is foolish to find a way to do something that is known to be impossible.

I agree. If observation and replication is the mode that proves anything.

I always found it odd that there are so many like bodies out there, like planets for example, but no "half planet" or "star in the making".

...Of course, explosions do not typically create anything, but make them less complex. Entropy. This would suggest that the universe would have been most complex at its beginning, and as time moves on, things would be less complex.

And it seems we see complex structures out as far as is detectable.

If all things in the universe would be the same at all times form all perspectives, I just cant make out how all these galaxies would be in the same state at the same "time".

There are a lot of contradictions within the cosmological principle and the standard model of the Big Bang.

One major definition of science is the following:

By ‘science’ we refer to the method of testing claims by observation and experimentation, or the body of knowledge acquired by such a method. Testability by repeatable observation and experimentation is the key distinguishing characteristic of science. So, we must ask, of the central claims of the standard model, which of them have been observationally or experimentally demonstrated?

With how many front spring numbers?

 

[mr_boring]

No expert here, but in modern physics, in my experience, there is just no meaning or expectation that anything is going to feel right. The exception is 0W8 oil, which does not feel right to anyone.

But have you tried it in the bedroom? To quote a very famous luchador - "It's fantastic!"

Effectively 0% I would theorize, or hardly enough to teach as scientific fact.

It seems like whack-a-mole to me.

I see complexity to simplicity here: https://gizmodo.com/app/uploads/2020/10/ybeqwnddqp1rr5s8kgf7.gif

...Now that we can begin to observe it, the dark aspect falls away and the mass we knew must be there is no longer dark but now observable...

I don't think we have directly observed Dark Matter but only inferred it indirectly.

If there is dark matter then it seems by implication there should be dark stars and dark galaxies and dark Quasars, but how would we know since it has so far been unobservable?

 

[dubber09]

Another thing is we assume universe we know is the only one, what if there is/are others?

 

[ripcord]

My interchange manual is around here somewhere...

How would that work?

If they don't overlap ours, you will never know.

 

[Pablo]

If they don't overlap ours, you will never know.

I postulate there is only one infinite universe
