  1. Tell your wife you're taking her to "The Great Attractor".

  2. In YT, Someone once asked "If there was intelligent life in the Universe, don't you think they would have been here by now?". I replied "NO!! Because they ARE intelligent!!".

  4. I was wondering about that too.

  5. I thought the universe was only 15 billion light years across. How do you come up with forty six billion?

  6. So this is why my hair is always getting blown all over the place.

  7. Could be, it may explain extinctions and mutations, ice ages and heatwaves/droughts. Rises in ocean levels, floods, "The Great Flood", increase volcanic activity. The Earth is actually quite fluid. The continents/plates are constantly moving that is why we have earthquakes.

  8. Still, the only thing I can see is The Big Dipper. I can't figure out any of the other constellation shapes.

  9. A little while ago I watched one video that shows you where to look to see the Andromeda Galaxy. I forget in which direction.

  10. Also a video on which are the brightest stars, and it's not the North Star. I think it's a star called Sirius.

  11. There are only 100-400 billion stars in our galaxy, so you'd better get going, start looking.

  12. In conclusion, we're SMOKIN'!!!!

  13. So what happens to the light from stars at the outer edge of our known universe, that goes the opposite direction, that goes out of the universe? If it takes 15 billion years for the light to get to us, then it must also go 15 billion years in the other direction, out of the Universe.

  14. Well, scientists have always been wrong about things. Then they have to finally admit it and make the necessary changes.. They used to believe that the Sun rotated around the Earth, that the Earth was the center of everything.

  15. I never knew that the Earth was closer to the Sun and then farther away at different times of the year.

  16. How do they know all this stuff? I'm lucky I can move my butt out of bed in the morning.

  18. I just read something that said the Andromeda Galaxy is 2.3635 million light years away from us, not 2.5 million light years away. Also that there are 18 other galaxies closer to us than Andromeda galaxy. Including Barnard's Galaxy which they claim is 1.76 million light years away. But I thought Barnard was further away from us than Andromeda. The other 17 all seem to be "clouds". With the closest 25,000 light years away. So what's up with all that? Andromeda has always been the next Closest galaxy to our galaxy.

  19. Why do we call it "The Milky Way"? Shouldn't we just call it something like "Our Galaxy" or "Home Galaxy."?

  20. ​ @ShonMardani that's how long it takes for the Earth to revolve around the Sun. It isnt exactly 365 days, 24 hour days. Has nothing to do with how much daylight there is. In like medieval times, they thought 1 year was like 360 days, or something less than 365. So they experienced "calendar slip". So the next January 1st was actually December 27th, and then the next year, January 1st was actually December 22nd, etc. So be skeptical of historical dates. So this extra .24 days is why we have a leap year, a February 29th, every four years. To keep the calendars straight. It is what it is, You can't do anything about it, you can't change it, so live with it.

  23. Cuz There are a lot of people with a lot of free time on their hands.

  24. "A number of nearby galaxies". Yeah, right next door. The nearest is only 2.5 million light years away.

  25. ​ @michaelc2219 We are going to need some calculations based on some factual data.

  26. ​ @michaelc2219 735 billion miles????

  27. ​​ @michaelc2219 1 light year is approx 5.88 trillion miles. So a little more than 1/1,000 th of 1 light year????

  28. ​ @michaelc2219 Geee!! And I thought I never went anywhere.

  29. Increase in radiation could explain mutations in life and extinctions. I had heard that something like 98-99% of all living organisms that have ever existed on Earth have gone extinct or mutated. Dinosaurs, plants, single cell things.
