Astronomy and snus?

[CoderGuy]

"The largest galaxy on record resides inside the Abell 2029 cluster, 1.07 billion light years away in the constellation of Serpens. Designated as IC 1101, the monstrous giant elliptical galaxy measures a whopping 6 million light years (as compared to the 100,000 light years of the Milky Way) in diameter and is said to be at least 60 times as large as the Milky Way. It also contains about 100 trillion stars (200-400 billion for the Milky Way)." it would be nice to sell some snus in that Galaxy

That's HUGE! And many of those 100 trillion stars have planets around them.

I am sure any of the advanced civilizations are solely snus users. How much for 100 trillion advert flyers? :P

It would be an amount of 10x1 000 000 000 000x 300 000 000 i would Guess

I took part in the Galaxy Zoo classification project.http://www.galaxyzoo.org/ That might interest you GN.

What I find mind blowing apart from the boggling size of the universe is the fact that there is a high probability of other universes pressing on ours like bubbles.
Even more boggling is parallel universe theory.

I love this stuff but prefer others to do the maths.

Mr. Paul I doubt you're an etymology freak but I've often wondered why U.K. usage retained the "s" in the shorthand for mathematics whereas in the U.S. we lost that usage.

You did away with loads of stuff. Aeroplane, aluminium, moustache, pyjamas, sledge, speciality, - you tend to take the u out of things in general - neighbour, humour, colour.

[Darwin]

We still use sledge in reference to big hammers and also referring to heavy wooden runnered cargo sleds. Yeah we did get rid of a lot of "u"s but only it seems when they tandem with an "o". Also, oddly, we do say "airplane" but we also say "aeronautics" and "aerodynamics". In the U.K you say "aeroplane" but unless I'm mistaken you also have "airlines" flying "airliners". The "maths/math" one is a bit of an oddity since we both use "mathematics". Funny how the linguistic currents ebb and flow.

[Frosted]

It's easier to say math rather than maths. We don't really need an 'o' in colour.

I think Americans just got rid of the bullshit. England is packed full of bullshit.
English has changed beyond all recognition. Have you read Chaucer? Americanisms are creeping in over here so our language might even come round to your method in the future.

[Darwin]

Yeah it seems that High Culture flows westward across the Atlantic and Pop Culture flows eastward. I think we're getting the better end of the deal, to put it mildly. The always linguistically aggrieved French would doubtless agree.

About 04:00 I saw a meteor come down over London. First one I've seen.

It is hard to dispell the thought that Earth has the only living organisms in the entire universe. There is no concrete evidence of other lifeforms outside of Earth, but one has to think there has to be somewhere in areas we haven't even looked at with a telescope yet!
We may one day prove that there is life beyond earth, and possibly even beyond our solar system. But we will never be able to prove that there is no life beyond earth.


You can use Drake's equation to determine for yourself however the equation itself is based on your own interpretations
The Drake equation states that: N=R*x Fp x ne x fe x fi x fc x L
where:
N is the number of civilizations in our galaxy with which communication might be possible;

and
R* is the average rate of star formation per year in our galaxy
fp is the fraction of those stars that have planets
ne is the average number of planets that can potentially support life per star that has planets
fℓ is the fraction of the above that actually go on to develop life at some point
fi is the fraction of the above that actually go on to develop intelligent life
fc is the fraction of civilizations that develop a technology that releases detectable signs of their existence into space
L is the length of time such civilizations release detectable signals into space


I hope this helps to understand how you Can figur out snus Usage outside of Our solar sistem

[AtreyuKun]

time is only an illusion, a man made measurement...

I won't say time is an illusion per se. It's a valid unit of measure which we use to determin certain events. I think the real illusion is the one that separates mind and thought from matter and energy. I believe that's actually where evolution will take us. It may not be the next step, but I believe that we will unify thought and energy. It isn't religious or spiritual at all, just another aspect of nature we haven't discovered yet.

[deadohsky]

I saw that a while GN, it's really amazing looking at how massive objects in the universe really can be.

Just little somthing to Chew in evening

[Frosted]

This is why we'll never find other life in the universe unless we can a. travel faster than the speed of light, or b. Bend time or fold the universe somehow.

This video is well worth a look as it helps us grasp the vastness of our universe.
