    the fact that space is expanding... WHAT THE FUCK IS IT EXPANDING INTO?
  • BoatShoes
    That there are more stars in the universe than grains of sand on the Earth.

    How minds are able to arise and somehow be attached to certain soggy grey matter we call brains.

    Eventually the universe will hit the solid glass wall of the snow globe a giga-gargantuan alien child is holding in her hands.

    Bigfoot.... because one of its legs were both the same.

    What about skin cells? Isn't there well over 9 pounds of skin on a body?

    Also, the fact that people accept that there is a "creator" blows my mind.

    Your looking at the solar system as if it is on a piece of paper. The trip to mars I'm sure involves them going both horizontal and vertical directions.

    My guess is skin cells are way bigger than bacteria. There are more bacteria cells (by count) than other cells. All I'm doing is parroting facts I've read elsewhere because I'm a plagiarist.

    Yeah, I think that particular factoid is wrong.

    But I like that picture you chose as your avatar, so I'll let it slide.

    What if dreams are actually experiences we had in a previous or future life, or in a parallel universe (sort of a ESP thing)? Think about it - have you ever had a perspective of yourself in a dream that's more like a camera angle than 1st person, perhaps close but not quite?

    Less than a trillionth of a second after the Big Bang, all matter and anti matter collided and cancelled out each other. Only once per billion times did matter not get cancelled out by anti matter. All matter in the universe remaining today occurs out of that 1-1 billion chance.

    Anti-matter would be the perfect tool for assassination....no body, no weapon :D

    Despite their vast numbers, bacteria don't take up that much space because bacteria are far smaller than human cells.
    I never thought of it that way

    Complex three dimensional models always seem to mess with my mind.

    I like to watch shows about astronomy. Recently, combinations of 2D and 3D models were used to describe the effect that the gravity of the sun has on planets' orbits. It baffled me to see the sun sitting in the middle of a 3D cone of depression while the planets were placed in 2D space, like in the photo below.



    The planets are not all in a flat plane like this photo shows, but how would you go about creating a model of it?
