i realize that the human population is much larger then it was say, 2000 yrs. ago. does that mean the earth weighs more? i know there's no weight in space, but just in theory. also, the astronauts don't count, they'll just mess it up.

Earlier when I asked a question about astroids, someone answered that Jesus and his followers don't believe in astroids! (???)

I was completely shocked by his response! Man knows that there are astroids. (I assumed that it was an undisputed fact.) We have pictures to prove that astroids exist. Our planet, and moon are marked with scars from astroids/comets slamming into them, we witnessed a comet slamming into Jupiter......can you enlighten me as to why any religion would state such a claim? It seems like these religious groups would lose credibility!

Lets try not to be offensive here...and try to keep it civil! I am just looking to satisfy my own curiosity, and not sway public opinion! :0) Thanks!

I have sat down and plotted the Earth's movement relative to the Sun over one year showing its path to a centre line representing a distance of about 4,260,000,000 miles, sub-divided into 12 equal months. According to my calculations I have noticed that the periods between crossing the suns path in front and behind, and behind and in front are different. Going from in front of the Sun to behind it takes approximately 5.5 months and from behind to in front takes 6.5 months approximately. Is this correct?

Will you believe my story?(Part 3)?
Ok,it will be strange to you if I tell you how I came to that universe.First,I was in another dimension.It was sort of like banishment.Then I had enough.I destroyed that dimension and teleported myself into existance.Weard A?Then I searched that universe planet to planet,galaxy to galaxy to find help and a home planet.I found what I was looking for and I chose the biggest planet of all.It was 700000 million times bigger than your universe and in the biggest galaxy.The planet was called Varaga and the galaxy was called Agzara.There,I started building structures.Then I saw another galaxy.That galaxy was the same size as ours.I travelled there and I saw someone shooting plazma lasers at some starcrafts.I gave her a hand.After that I met her.Her name was Sajfer and I was supprised how she knew everything about me.Then she told me that I was the most powerful thing possible.I didn't believe her,but it turned out that she was right.I trained hard and I succseeded.1000000 years later I met Fajzer.Sajfer told me that he was my long lost brother.I couldn't believe my eyes.Then we combined our technologies and built structures all over the planet.After that we gathered an army and conquered the entire universe.years later I met some other leaders of huge armies and we joined forces.10000000000000000000000... years later sajfer told me that we can make a fusion form.

Iy seems like astronomers are still getting light generated by the big bang. Why is this? Its keeping us from seeing the light that is within a certain range of us.

Please don't give me a wikipedia link or a copy-and-paste from there; I don't understand a word of it. Could the black hole actually teleport you somewhere? Or does the object get crushed?

I always see pictures of the milkyway, often times with a little arrow pointing to a tiny blue dot, which represents the Earth.

Now, these pictures are obviously digital and non-animated or illustrated...

Ok, back to my question: If Earth, and our solar system is INSIDE the milkyway, how are we able to take a picture of the entire galaxy...when being inside it? Do we have photographic satalites that can travel beyond our solar system and transmit pictures back to Earth?

Ok, here's an analogy: The milkyway is represented by a glass of milk (clever, eh?) and the solar systems is represented by the milk (which is contained by the glass.)

Since we're our the milk, how are we able to take a picture of the glass?

I watched Saturn about 3 months ago, but I haven't been able to locate it recently in the night sky. I assume that for at least half the year it is overhead only during the daylight and not visible.

I know this may seem like a stupid question, but please bear with me.

Are there any stars (and I mean text-book stars) located within our solar system, aside from the Sun?

From Earth, the sun is quite large, considering that it's roughly 99 million miles away. After looking at the stars tonight, the brightest I could find (by my trusty naked eye) was obviously much, much less smaller than the Sun.

I don't know what the hell is wrong with my brain. I feel I'm being a complete idiot right now.

[insert shameful expression here]

So are the stars we see in the nightsky located within our solar system, or are they from distant galaxies, or both..?

Of course, then there is the question of how big exactly is our solar system....


I know it's a lot of questions. I've pretty much forgotten everything from grades 1 - 8, please forgive me.

Does anyone know what star is at 3h 8m 17.8s; DEC=40 degrees, 57' 52.4"? Supposedly this is a well known star and is eclipsed sometimes. Can anyone help with this? Thanks.

Its possible for entire other universes to exist with even reverse arrows of time, entropy, and psychology, the problem remains in getting there. Would a wormhole be a way if such a thing exists?

Is there any experimental data that would indicate the speed of gravity? If so, what is the speed of gravity? If the sun was "turned off" would we lose our orbit and shoot off in a straight line? Could gravity waves keep us in orbit?

Are there pockets of faster moving time and slower mov ing time in the un iverse. In other words, is the speed of light slowing down as the universe continues to expand?

In about 5 billion years from now, our sun will become a red giant and will engulf all the inner planets. Most likely, life on Earth will die long before this happens. But if humans could somehow manage to evacuate into space, do you believe we could live on Titan?
