    Re: Outer Space

    Reddit and twitter have been no help—can anyone explain what’s going on with the multiple UFOs being shot down over the last 24 hours? Is it more China surveillance?

    Almost certainly yes, they’re just not naming it this time around because it caused a bigger than expected rift in relations with them.

    NORAD said they basically turned off the filters on their radars after the first one, so they’re catching all these slow moving objects that they were just letting pass by before.

    We saw this fly over my friend's house super bowl night. The picture isn't the greatest, but it did a good job of weirding us all out (Ok, the beers played a roll as well). Discovered later after doing some research that it was a starlink satellite.

    Scientists find first evidence that black holes are the source of dark energy

    Observations of supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies point to a likely source of dark energy—the 'missing' 70% of the universe.

    The measurements from ancient and dormant galaxies show black holes growing more than expected, aligning with a phenomenon predicted in Einstein's theory of gravity. The result potentially means nothing new has to be added to our picture of the universe to account for dark energy: black holes combined with Einstein's gravity are the source.

    The conclusion was reached by a team of 17 researchers in nine countries, led by the University of Hawai'i and including Imperial College London and STFC RAL Space physicists. The work is published in two papers in the journals The Astrophysical Journal and The Astrophysical Journal Letters.
    Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. -- Carl Sagan (Pale Blue Dot)

    Every time I have watched this(and I've watched it dozens of times), I gain some kind of new epiphany about how I should be living my life. It also leaves me feeling humbled and rather sad.

    The last bit of narrative always stays with me well after I view the video :

    " For the first time in its life, the universe will be permanent and unchanging ; entropy finally stops increasing because the cosmos cannot get any more disordered. Nothing happens. And it keeps not happening... Forever. "

    As a fraction of the time-span of the universe, measured from its beginning to the evaporation of the last black hole, life (as we know it) is only possible for

    Pretty cool. I’ve seen other versions of that.

    I think this takes things out even further but I’m somewhat unsure because my brain can’t conceptualize when you get out over 1 duotrigintillion years which I’d never heard of before.

    It has to go somewhere. What's on the other side of Black Holes?

    37 years ago I reached the end of the Universe in my mind and when I got there, it folded in upon itself like a sock turning inside out.

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ash-Italy.html

    Italian researcher shares extraordinary evidence files of world's 'first' UFO crash - 14 years before Roswell - and the secret department set up by Mussolini's government to study the craft that was later captured by US forces
    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...lligences.html

    David Grusch, 36, has spoken out to say the US has run a top secret UFO retrieval program for decades and claimed the 'Vatican was involved' in first UFO crash
    He said the first ever recovery of a space ship was in Magenta, Italy in 1933 and was held by Mussolini's Italian government until 1944-1945
    Grusch claimed it was partially intact and held at airbase until the US retrieved it after a tip from Pope Pius XII following the collapse of fascist Italian regime

    They forgot the part when at the end, God sweeps all of the matter into his hands and compresses it into a ball of infinite density and energy, and releases it again as a big bang, so we can do it all again.

    A Tennessee lawmaker issued a dire warning after claiming to have seen classified UFO footage that hasn't been released to the public.

    Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., speculated extraterrestrial life forms could have technology that humanity "can't handle" during an appearance on the "Event Horizon" podcast.

    "If they’re out there, they’re out there, and if they have this kind of technology, then they could turn us into a charcoal briquette," Burchett said.

    Interesting but I don't share his fear. If they wanted to " turn us into a charcoal briquette", they would have done it by now
