And we judge their distance by their light, then that would mean we are looking at what billions of years ago looked like. How could anyone figure out the vastness of the universe if the information we depend on is billions of years out of date?

Last time I visited Kennedy Space Center, I noticed something peculiar about the Soyuz compared with the Appolo capsule. On Appolo, there are small boosters at 90 degree intervals to control roll, pitch, and yaw. Each little booster can fire in 4 directions. On Soyuz, there are also boosters at 90 degree intervals, but they all point straight out. I don't understand how you'd be able to control the roll of the capsule with these boosters. I asked someone at KSC, and we were going through books of drawings for about 45 minutes before we finally gave up without figuring it out. Anyone here have a clue about this?

I mean, not seeing the sun by poking your heads up and looking. What can we use to see the SUN MINUTELY and CONSISTENTLY without causing the slightest damage to our eyes ?

If the universe is a bubble that keeps expanding, then there must be a void of nothingness outside. But if there are many bubbles, then what is between them? It must be more space. Is the gigaverse finite? If it is then what is outside it?

Also there must be a centre and a beginning if our universe is finite.

Theoretically let's say that you were in a space ship going just under the speed of light.

You are strapped in and no part of you can move
There is a mirror in front of you and you can see your reflection.

Then, you hit the speed of light.

Do you still see your reflection? I'm assuming you do.

But what if your chair is moved backward six inches

do you still see anything?
The way i see it, your eyes are now where your head used to be, and since the light is moving at the same speed you are, the area that used to be occupied by your head/body should now have absolutely no light in it.

What if you move to the right or left, do you see what you would have seen at time of the space ship hitting the speed of light had you been sitting there?

I'm guessing that if one black hole was a lot bigger than the other one, yhen it would just swallow it up, but what would happen if the two black holes where approximately the same size?

Say we have a huge empty space in which there is no gravity, and we put a man there, with his eyes covered, in any potinion. He is just floating around, and we tell him to go up. How does he know which way is up?

I saw that one of the ways scientists calculate the Universe's age is by seeing how far away they can see, then taking that distance in light years as the Universe's age. I saw that the farthest they can see is about 15 billion light years. My question is, doesn't that prove the universe is actually at least 30 billion years old.

If the universe is expanding, then it would take 15 billion years for the universe to get 15 billion light years big (assuming expantion at the speed of light) and then another period of time for objects to form out there, then another 15 billion light years for the light to get back?

I usually assume if smart people with more knowledge on a subject say something that to me seems obviously wrong, it is that I missed something subtle they know. So what am I missing? Could someone please help?

Are they real? Can you prove it? What's with the german physicist who does the experiment where the electronic signal is detected before it is sent thus proving the existence of a super-luminal particle . I saw this on Television a few years ago and forgot. He is either very smart or very crazy.......

Please dont tell me what tachyon paticles are.
