If you stand on a truck traveling 20 mph and throw a ball forward at 30 mph (relative to you at the point you threw it), the ball travels at 50 mph or at least nearly 50 mph for a milliesecond or so...in essence, the speed is the sum of the two speeds, or nearly. Now, consider a star that is moving away from the location of the big bang at a speed lets say 1,000 miles per second, shining photons forward at the speed of light, 186,000 miles per second. Relative to the original location of the big bang, is that light travelling 187,000 miles per second (faster than the speed of light)? Is the speed in space the sum of the two speeds like the ball thrown from the truck?

Do you believe that we are the sole living organisms in the universe, or do you believe there is something else out there in space?

As the universe expands it's not expanding into anything as space comes into being, as if by a miracle during the proccess. Where does all this extra space come from to accommodate the larger Universe. Since it's out there it must have come from somewhere....Where?

In his famous novel Journey to the Moon, Jules Verne stated that occupants in a spaceship would shift from orientation from up to down when the ship crossed the point where the Moon's gravitation became greater than the Earth's. Is this correct? Defend your answer.

i was looking at a diagram of the Oort cloud and i was thinking is it possible that almost every solar system has one like it? if so how dense is it? the reason i want to know is how do you look through it? i was also thinking of all these space travel sci fi shows that show you just driving your ship up to you destination planet. if every planet has a cloud like the Oort cloud that would really throw a wrench in space travel!

I really don't want to talk about how to make a wormhole.
My question is as this. How could one survive passing through a wormhole without being outright destroyed by the colossal energies, radiation, or the tidal forces in the shearing of space time?
How could we shield ourselves from such an event and survive to pass through it?
(not the hollywood type wormhole but the kind in REAL physics theory)

He was one of the original seven astronauts and flew in all three of the first manned space programs. Schirra flew solo in the Mercury program, with a crewmember in the Gemini program and with two others in the Apollo program.

Do you remember Wally Schirra? And do you know how many of the original seven are left alive and who they are? Best answer will go to the first person who can name them.

I need around 3 reasons...

Would the tilt of the Earth be one reason? Since the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away?

Is the atmosphere another reason?

I need more reasons. And please explain them to me! Thanks!
