@Taz6688 knowledge of any nature is important. But yeah we still have all those problems to fix. Space exploration may not be able to be useful that way but it's still something worth doing.

@wizjenkins42 a very good question. What existed outside the parameters of the first moments of the big bang- right? I've often wondered that myself. And how could so much come from nothing???? Was it all from "god"?? These questions are being our ability to answer honestly. I don't know if we'll ever have the answer. What came one moment before the first moment of this universe??? How is it possible for something, for instance space as we know it, to go on forever?? What lies after the so-called universe? The more we try to understand these things the more our brains hurt. I don't know how to answer these. Some mysteries seem beyond our human understanding. The fact is, nobody can even say what space even IS. Space is simply... space. There's no other words or understanding for it. Honestly my brain feels weird when I try to understand just what space is. Our brain has a hard time with indivisible concepts. I personally have a very hard time trying to understand the concept of nothing and infinity or forever. Where did the big bang happen if "nothing" yet existed??? I believe in higher powers than Man and a life after death so perhaps in the next life if there is one, we can know these things. As for now, bruh, idk but I don't think so. Our brains don't seem well suited to it. After all, how could all of what now exists come from nothing???? Since when does "nothing" just spontaneously erupt?? Either it's due to some kind of a divine source, or there's something else going on. Something cannot come from actual nothing. An empty fridge will never ever be able to magic up some food inside of it no matter how long one waits. So yeah. Strange strange mysteries that I don't think we're able to understand.

@speedtraindjspeedtrain6325 you think these aren't real images

@phobics9498 eh. Yes but what does that mean "time" slows down. One second is always a second. If I was an atom or a galaxy, one minute would always be one minute. You're just accepting claims without really understanding them because you don't know how to "not" believe them. Look I know physicists are smart, but that doesn't mean they're always right. I honestly do not believe one's speed has anything to do with one's time perception either. If someone were to travel at 300,000 m/s which is just above the speed of light, I don't believe that means anything different regarding "time" would happen. I also believe FTL travel is possible.

@7Earthsky that doesn't get us anywhere. Physical matter and energy forms can be learned about. People have a desire to know and study things. We will eventually crack all the secrets of the universe. It may not all make perfect sense now but one day it will. Edit: other than what came before the big bang. That we may never know. Or who knows. But there is a lot that's knowable that I'm sure we'll discover.

@phobics9498 yeah well I never said I was a genius I just said I still disagree. Maybe I'm too d-u-m dum to get it, but for now I'm not ready to conclude that bec then it's like why even try? Nope imma keep trying to understand. So you believe time somehow changes?? Isn't the measurement of one second officially based on the Cesium molecule? Are we saying Cs changes it's vibration duration or what-all based on..... some sciencey stuff? I'll think about what you said but I'm not yet convinced.

@darkrooster5751 some thoughts I had on that. Isn't "time" fundamentally simply a perception of changing external events?? What I mean is, it isn't a "thing" or a visible observable process, it's just a shorthand label. To a rock or an animal time doesn't really have any meaning. To a horse the past and future arent concepts that really exist for them. It's only a concept that humans have, because we are capable of complex higher thought. "Time" to us is merely a means to differentiate between Not Now and Now; the past, present and future. You seem to consider it actually a Thing. Time is just an idea, no more no less. A concept, like "justice". You can't hold a "justice" or make it speed up or slow down, but it is a concept that we can identify. I see "time" as exactly the same way. In essence, "time" doesn't exist, but our concept of it does. I mean yes we can create clocks and other calibrated devices to so-called measure the passage of "time", which helps us manage our activities and structure our lives more easily by giving us numerical values to assign to different positions of the sun in the sky, but these are simply organizational tools. It gives us a universal standard to organize our lives by. Basically, regardless of anything, I fail to understand how any instrument anywhere can measure this uh, "concept" any differently than any other instrument anywhere in the universe or under any other conditions. Does any of this make sense to you and do you agree or disagree? If you think I'm missing the point how so?

@darkrooster5751 yes ITA about a God subject. I'm just saying it is a possibility. I do personally believe there are higher powers out there than Man and a reality after death, just based on a few reasons. But that's not very scientifically useful I fully agree. I only mean to infer that if a God didn't cause the big bang, I am at a damn hard impasse to understand what did. Logically we understand something can NOT just suddenly manifest from nothing. Also, how can no "space" exist?? No empty space. Seems impossible, doesn't it?? Nobody can say how or when a god was created....if one even exists. It is extremely puzzling, bec there can always be the question of what came before? How could an all-powerful being come into being? And if they were once created, who created them?? And so on, thru infinite regress. Truly unanswerable questions. And if God always existed, how can this be???? How can anything, even "god" truly be infinite???? It seems impossible, at least to me. Surely, my brain tells me, EVERYTHING had a discrete beginning, but of that's true, what was the very First Thing??? Before all the universes that ever existed??? Before "God"?? Smashes head It's a damn mystery. It's wild stuff. I don't know if any human mind can fully answer these questions. I'm at a loss. How can anything REALLY go on forever?? What tf REALLY is "space"??? Or energy?? Crazy right??? I have no clue- do you??? If you do you're smarter than me, if so, good job. Cuz I they are beyond my personal understanding.

@phobics9498 photons are not everywhere at once bruv

@phobics9498 I'm sure FTL travel is possible. We just haven't figured out how yet.

@phonybobsmail1680 thrilling. Anything actually scientific to add or... ?

@david_cop_a_feel7538 did I ask??

@genericjoe4082 indeed. If it were to occur like that, that would definitely be extremely intriguing. So Cesium atoms (I have no idea why they chose the cesium atom instead of a different one, that's where my knowledge drops out, but ok), are thought to actually vibrate at a slower rate as one approaches light speed? I wonder if we have the technology to prove this though.... Since we currently don't exactly have a way to send an object near light speed for an extended period of time, while measuring the amount of time passed while it's doing so, and then to compare it to a clock measuring the time back at the reference point.
1
@genericjoe4082 whether it's the big bang or God there's always the question of, well what came before? And and those are questions that our minds can't answer.
1
@Crusty_Camper ya me too. Besides seems impossible that something could come from absolutely nothing. Besides what exactly is 'absolutely nothing'? Doesn't seem a quantity that our brains are comfortable wrapping around. There's paradoxes imagining a God as well. As in, ya know, what came before IT?? Etc etc very uncomfortable.
