Astronomy & Space - July 2007

Hypothecially, if an asteroid was hurtling toward Earth with no realistic way of stopping it (Hollywood movies aside) do you think the government or scientists would really tell us? I don't think they would ~ it would cause panic and kill more people than the asteroid itself. Maybe we'd see scientists all over the world starting to hord supplies? what do you think.

If planets and galaxies that we see in the sky that are really millions of light years away, does that mean we are seeing what happened millions of years ago? If thats true then theoretically wouldn't we be able to see the Big Bang happening if we look far into the universe?

Where do they come up w/ these #'s, radiocarbon dating is inaccurate. You can't tell me, that you can chemically tell how old something is, by radiocarbon dating, or any other means. Why would you need to know that anyways?

Don't look at me like I'm crazy... :P
Does anyone know where I could find "plans" or instructions on getting to another universe or dimension or whatever? Websites or something? I know there's all kinds of stuff out there.
I really don't care if it's just some drunk guy in his basement telling me to put on a tin hat and spin around and click my heels three times. I want everything on it that I can get.
... actual information is also appreciated.

You know how they say objects that we are viewing in space are an older image of the objects current state due to the light travelling such a long distance. What if we viewed the eath from another part of space , and just say we had the technology to highly zoom in on the earth , would the image of dinosaurs still be out there , going through space , and is our image being projected through space?

We all know that light travels at approximately 186 thousand miles per second in a vacuum. If a glowing light bulb was traveling through space at half the speed of light would the light shining from the light bulb be traveling at 186,000mps away from the source, or would it be compared to a static object resting somewhere in the universe? I hope you all understand what I'm asking. Let me know if you don't. Thanks!
