This is a neat little educational tool that should inform adults and children alike. Enjoy! http://images.4channel.org/f/src/589217_scale_of_universe_enhanced.swf Awards

If there was nothing here before the big bang then we have the big bang and it all starts. Now as we all know or are suppose to know the universe is expanding outwards and increasing in velocity. So my question is what the hell are we expanding into ? Awards

Over the last 2 years BBC has made 2 programs, Secrets of the Solar System, and Secrets of the Universe with Prof. Brian Cox, once in D:REAM (things can only get better) as a keyboard player, now working at Cern on the Large Hadron Collider. Totally amazing, interesting and captivating. I thoroughly recommend to those outside of the UK also if you can find it. Also we have had over here Stargazing live on the BBc, very entertianing. All this talk makes me want to explore tbh, so much so, in 1-2 months I will get my own telescope to see some of those amazing things out there. something like a Skywatcher 200pds Newton Reflector, or if I push the boat out a little, a CPC 800 GPs xlt Celestron. I hope to get the kids interested too!

I hope to get the kids interested too! Matter cannot exceed the speed of light. See: http://helios.gsfc.nasa.gov/qa_sp_ex.html It appears that the Universe is expanding at 80 km/sec/Mpc (statistical error = 17 km/sec/Mpc), as calculated by the Hubble Space Telescope's Key Project team (Mpc is megaparsec = 3.26 million light years). What this means is that objects will, on the average, be moving away from us at 80 km/sec for every megaparsec it is away from us. So another galaxy that is 1 Mpc away will be moving away from us at about 80 km/sec, and one that is 10 Mpc away will be moving at about 800 km/sec. Awards

They are sometimes too keen to dismiss theories or articles of faith for which "empirical evidence" cannot be presented to meet their standards. People's experiences and observations are dismissed as untrue or pseudo-science. You have said it: "We don't know shit". That is a wise statement! Awards
