I personally think the universe is too vast for Earth to be the only habitatated planet in it. What do other people think

The sun came up slightly east of straight south today. Is that normal or did I wake up on the wrong planet?

Either in a religious or scientific way. I am curious as to how you believe it will end...or will not end! Do you think it will last for all eternity?

It seems showers and baths wouldn't work without gravity.

What do you think the government is trying to cover up? Do you think they have the right to, even if it's to prevent mass hysteria?

Or does it always stay the same size. It seems like it would have to grow after eating up planets or stars.

Why was the universe created for only the animal life on earth to exist, if it wasn't created just for us then that means there is life out there.

I was watching a show on the science channel the other day that was saying there is only 10% of the matter needed to support the big band theory.

Then someone determined that if there was dark matter it would only account for 25% of the amount needed.

When they checked the expansion speed of the universe they were surprised to see that it was speeding up instead of slowing down. So they said it would take more energy than was present during the big bang to account for this, so they called the unseen energy dark matter and it makes up the other 75% of dark matter they couldn't account for.

Science knows they can't see the entire universe because light only travels so fast. If they only see 10% of the matter needed to account for the big bang could the universe be 10x as large as what we see?

That would be a scientific breakthrough to know the size of the universe wouldn't it?

For example... the earth is constantly spinning
such that the SUN spins by, however, the Moon
spins such that the same side always faces the
Earth. WHY is this?

A thrown object (a galaxy, for instance) at the edge of the universe (ie, without anything in front of it to pull it) should not accelerate. Shouldn't the huge mass behind it (mass closer to the center of the Big Bang) slow it down with gravity? Is it the expansion of the universe itself that is creating distance/speed/acceleration?

Don't we have a responsibility to use this money on our living citizens here on earth to help them when they obviously need it? I can understand using money to research equipment capable of leaving our galaxy and going far beyond Pluto, which is obviously another place that is uninhabitable. Are we doing these mars/moon expeditions simply to satisfy our need to keep up with other countries' space programs? It seems a far cry that we are preparing/assessing the feasibility to use these places for our own inhabitance in future years. Even if we were, again isn't it our moral obligation to help those that need the help now here on earth? Any thoughts?

We are students at Science Park High in Newark NJ We are discussing if we should consider Pluto a panet, we have to be against it or for it, even though we consider Pluto as a planet is easier if we go against it, so please help us, thanks!!!!

I've seen pictures of the universe and the Milky Way, how do scientists and all them take them when we are in them? Your heart doesn't know what you look like....
