The Hubble Deep Field Video (aliens gotta be out there!!!)

prepare to be humbled...

we're really just a piece of cosmic dust at the end of the day...

the guy says something along the lines of what i've been sayin' for years, which is: "out of all that's out there, known and unknown, the notion that we're the only place w/ a perfect balance for existence is downright arrogant"...

keep watchin' past the dude lip syncing at 1:30 (lol)...

no but, every time i've gotten into this discussion w/ people i've always said that, so it's just kinda rad to hear this science guy say that too...

i think the most impressing visualisation of those unbelievable big numbers i've seen is the intro sequence of "contact"

DOn't take this the wrong way, but it's not exactly news.

i know, but it's still not something that is commonly put in perspective by many it seems...

i've never gone researchin' stuff, takin' it seriously...

just had those convo's w/ friends late at night, sometimes on drugs (back in the day) or somethin', when ya get all deep and talk about all kinds of shit (and you discover the key to unravel the fabric and mysteries of the universe, LOL), and i've always said i thought we'd be arrogant to think we're the only place in all that there is to have life...

not a profound statement by any means, just my own logic at work, and it's nice to hear science buffs say the same thing...

although there are a ton of people who really have no idea just how big everything is, and here in america, particularly where i'm at, which is considered the bible belt, it's very common to find those who think we're god's special lil' creatures, and there's nowhere else w/ life...

When I met Code I thought they were already here

When I met Code I thought they were already here

I quite like the quote of Dr. Arroway from Contact (with Jodie Foster in it, based on Carl Sagans novel).

The universe is a pretty big place, it's bigger than anything anyone has ever dreamed of before. So if it's just us, seems like an awful waste of space...

i like the one from the passage describing the total perspective vortex in the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy

must read them books again.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_Perspective_Vortex

The Total Perspective Vortex, in the fictional world of Douglas Adams's The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, is the most horrible torture device to which a sentient being can be subjected. Located on Frogstar World B, it shows its victim the entire unimaginable infinity of the universe with a very tiny marker that says "You Are Here" which points to a microscopic dot on a microscopic dot.

The machine was originally invented by one Trin Tragula in order to annoy his wife. Because she was forever nagging him for having no sense of proportion, he decided to invent something that would show her what having a sense of proportion really meant. Unfortunately the shock of being placed in the Vortex destroyed her brain, but Trin Tragula's grief was tempered by the knowledge that he had been right and she had been wrong. The Total Perspective Vortex had proved that in an infinite universe the one thing sentient life cannot afford to have is a sense of proportion.

The machine produces a virtual reality model of the entire universe by means of the axiom that any piece of matter is affected by all other matter. The Vortex reconstructs the universe through computer processing of a high-resolution scan of a small object. In the words of the Hitchhiker's Guide,

"...since every piece of matter in the Universe is in someway affected by every other piece of matter in the Universe, it is in theory possible to extrapolate the whole of creation - every Galaxy, every sun, every planet, their orbits, their composition, and their economic and social history from, say, one small piece of fairy cake."
