[john getty]

And yet we still haven't found Bin Laden?

 

[leafstk]

Very cool... thanks Purple!

 

[texastickler]

That was awesome!!! Thanks for sharing that.

 

[Artoo]

We are tiny.

 

[venray]

We are tiny.

Miniscule .........

 

[Bizkit]

Very cool.Watching things like that really get you thinking.

 

[subtle_feather]

This is cool. I don't often contemplate the mind-numbingly huge distances between stars, but it does bring on a humbling sense of wonder that we could even exist at all in such a vast and mostly lifeless place. Thanks for the neat video.

 

[TklDuo-Ann]

Such a vast world. And still we think we're the only show in town. lol

 

[milagros317]

Awesome. Thanks for posting.

 

[Filthyweasel]

And all of it amounts to...42

Indeed. One could call it 'faith', but I personally subscribe to Drake's equation.

Even with such 'small' numbers (star formation is 3%), there are hundreds of billions of stars in our galaxy alone. Even if, hypothetically, there were only one advanced civilization per galaxy; that still amounts to hundreds of billions of civilizations; if not trillions. Just imagine what could be achieved if we as a species were able to transcend the petty BS that holds us to this planet.

Makes you wonder where life is located out there. I mean the universe is so massive to us it might as well-and could very well be- infinite, and you can't tell me that life has only risen on this world. We have company out there, and if our science someday allows us to leave our solar system beyond the speed of light- warp theory, yup it exists outside of star trek- we're bound to bump into something foreign to Earth sooner or later.

With odds like that the most unbelievable thing is that there are people who believe life is unique to Earth alone.

Awesome!

 

[Dr. Vollin]

Very cool piece - thanks for posting it.

I thought I was, until I arrived here.

 

[taptoematt]

Most amazing video, and just think, that all came about by "random chance"
I guess universes like that happen everyday........

 

[Coup de Grace]

I saw this several months ago. It's still awesome, especially coming from someone that studied astronomy.

 

[Coda]

I saw it several months ago too, and it's saved pending an even better one, of course. And, yes, it's wonderful.
