What is it about the Universe that truly fascinates you?

Question

NathanDavis · Accepted Answer

here's something funny about size, lol...

the universe is actually bigger, way bigger than the age we can guesstimate it to be... this, in terms of how fast and how long can light travel...

the universe itself, expands way faster than "the universe it is" and that's just crazy

but not only that... the actual universe is also way way way beyond than anything we can perceive or understand, lol

what we know as the universe, is actually... the observable universe, which is less than 1% of it...

There's not enough space (pun intended) on the servers. What is the true nature of reality? How did we get here? Are we even capable of perceiving reality with the equipment we've evolved, a brain and five senses? For instance, our eyes can only see in a limited band of the electromagnetic spectrum. Are we confined to this planet by the speed of causality (lightspeed) and the immensity of the universe? What if there are 11 dimensions as proposed by string theory? We can only perceive 4 without help from our mechanical tools. What is the true nature of gravity and how does it factor into everything because it seems to permeate everything? Is this the only universe or are we one of infinite universes? What is consciousness and where does it originate? Are we living in a hologram? Are we living in a simulation? Are we the only life? Because the building blocks for organic life seem pretty abundant. Are humans the only intelligent species? Are we the dream of some alien? If there is a builder or builders out there, where the fuck are they? Do they care about this universe or are we just an abandoned failed experiment. Insignificant as bacteria on a test bench. What happens to socks in the washing machine? I'm telling you it's fucking aliens.

The order. The prevailing theory suggests that entropy is the natural state of our universe, but we detect a great deal of order. Are we overlooking things because our brains intrinsically seek order? Like seeing familiar shapes in clouds, or the stars (constellations).
How long can you stare at a mess trying to find peculiar patterns? It’s such an impossible task for humans that some of the earliest use of AI was letting it search the cosmos for patterns. The opening scene of “Independence Day” was fairly accurate. A computer scans the sky through a super duper telescope and generates data when patterns are detected. This always includes coordinates so that human astronomers can find the anomaly and study it themselves. They compare and contrast their observations with the machine’s, crunch the numbers and hope they’ve discovered something brand new so they can name it. Ell oh ell!
I follow several science channels including a couple that favor astronomy and astrophysics. There have been some wild discoveries fairly recently, particularly surrounding black holes. I would luv to talk to one of the top dawgs and pick their brains. Sometimes interviewers and podcasters just don’t ask all of the right questions.

That it's gigantic, yet not infinite. Spiegel just posted an article about its fastest star.

Lliam · Answer

Constant creation, demolition, extermination, recreation and evolution over an infinite amount of time.
The fact that under heat and radiation, elements can spontaneously combine to create compounds and, eventually, life forms. And simple life forms combine and evolve into new, more complex life forms.
Somehow, over billions of years, on this extraordinary speck of rock we call Earth, through competition for resources and natural selection, biodiversity evolved. Eventually, we, the first creatures on Earth with a sense of wonder and curiosity, evolved. And we can ask questions like "What is it about the Universe that truly fascinates you?"

1. Okay so Voyager 1's purpose was to explore Jupiter and Saturn. The spacecraft was designed for a roughly 5 year long mission. It was launched on 1977. After it finished studying Saturn, NASA continued its mission and sent it even farther and farther away from the sun. It became the first human-made object to enter interstellar space. Voyager 1 today is more than 26 billion kilometres away from Earth. Amongst the very cool things that it did, we have the famous photo of the pale blue dot that most of us have seen already.
Also it uses very little power, it produces heat as it decays and it is made in a way to convert that heat to electricity.
2. The possibility that the universe is infinite.
3. Observation affects the behavior of quantum particles.

samael_kmarty · Answer

We have all 99.99% naturally occurring element in the space but there is only one plant with life , us.

And greed is taking that life out.
Ton 618 super massive black hole, that BH. Can fit 40.7 billion suns inside it. It's so big that whole solar system can fit inside it ( pluto as well). Our solar system and sun are like a grain of fine sand, In front of it.
Also some scientists believe that those black holes might be older then big bang because it's kinda impossible to grow in sized.

msc545 · Answer

What fascinates me most about the universe is the almost incomprehensible contrast between how enormous it is and how much of it we can understand from one tiny place inside it.

We are sitting on a small planet orbiting an ordinary star in one galaxy among hundreds of billions, perhaps trillions. Yet from here, human beings have figured out what stars are made of, measured the age of the universe at about 13.8 billion years, detected gravitational waves from colliding black holes, and reconstructed conditions that existed shortly after the Big Bang.

Karrimurray · Answer

What fascinates me most is the possibility that we might not be alone in the universe. Imagine looking at the night sky and knowing that somewhere unimaginably far away, there could be another world with life, watching its own sky and wondering the exact same thing. And the craziest part is that we may never meet them, yet we could both exist at the same time without ever knowing about each other. That thought gives me chills.

EzraIsShy76028 · Answer

Probably how little we actually know of it and probably will never know. That in the grand scheme of things and the entire universe we and the entire planet Earth are ultimately meaningless. The universe has existed long before Earth and will continue to exist after the Earth dies. If Earth exploded tomorrow and ceased to exist the universe would just keep going.

Marshast · Answer

How contained and fragile of a species we are. At the same time, humans are a wondrous creature itself, and also a pestilence.
There’s so much we could telepathically do beyond what we consider comprehensible, but we are locked out of that somehow. It feels like if there are parallel universes, we’re most likely being observed like rats, or being played like chess.

Zack-Bann · Answer

How heavy it is.

Our universe is held together by its own weight.

Were it weightless it would disperse in every direction.

If we step out of our own bodies we can feel truly how much weight holds us down

ProbablyClueless · Answer

The scale. The size.

It's really difficult to wrap the human mind around the distances we're talking about. It's a truly insane concept that there is light and radiation visible to us on Earth that is only just reaching us now, 10s of billions of years after it was created. The events we're watching unfold in the sky happened a very long time ago.

AviatorTom · Answer

It's obvious that planets and stars are round, so why are there so many people who say the Earth is flat? Are they really stupid? Or maybe they're really smart to make money off the stupid people who believe them.

ChicoFromThe305 · Answer

That it doesn't end, what would happen to a human if someone just went over the line past the barrier and beat the universe at its own game, would they still float? Would they just explode or vanish, who knows 😂

How everything is where it should be. The stars, the planets - all of it. I guess if it wasn't for gravity it would all come crashing down.
