More from Derilect
Really been in a funk as of late. Was outside with a telescope I'd recently gotten, and after nearly a decade of going without looking at the night sky, I was spellbound. I had forgotten how elating it was peering into the universe, how there are billions upon billions of stars, novae, galaxies and other celestial bodies out there, how there's so much creation and destruction, chaos and solace. How mankind is making leaps and bounds in the name of exploration and understanding of the cosmos. Names like Sagan, Tyson, Hawking, Galileo, Copernicus all coming back to me, and how much I had loved watching documentaries about the universe and how it works. Black holes, white dwarves, pulsars, quasars, binary star systems, rogue planets. All of it.
The universe, everything about it is breathtaking, terrifying and spellbinding... And there's no one around for me to share any of this with. No one that shares my enthusiasm for the stars and the people that study them or who even gives two squirts of piss that Einstein was anything more than a name tossed around as an allusion to intelligence or that Sagan is far more than just the "Billions and billions" guy or that Bill Nye is not limited to a child's science capacity. No one to watch the planets of our solar system creep across the night sky with, no one to talk about what they think is beyond the event horizon, or what their schwarzschild radius is, just for laughs, how how time travel is entirely possible but incredibly inconvenient....
I'm doomed to desolation. Just me, my idols, my ideas, my telescope...
Depressed as fuck.
Also, listened to this while working on it. Great tune. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHzf.....=RDsPlhKP0nZII

You're far from alone that enjoy this kind of things, trust me. It's just that 'the common mass' that get brainwashed into liking the same stuff as everyone else makes it hard to notice people like us. That's why i'm REALLY glad we got the internet this generation. It may not be a physical contact, but it prooved to me that we are far from alone and we can get in touch like this.
Oh, and can you elaborate about the inconvenient but possible time travel? Are you talking about transforming matters in a specific area to the way they once were?

I'm talking about orbiting the earth quickly or getting sucked into a black hole. Not really time travel, but time dilation. Time runs slower for folks as they reach the speed of light. people in, say, a space station won't notice it, but tehy'll age slower. Someone getting sucked into a black hole, though, will have an easier time reaching the speed of light and, although time for them doesn't change, someone observing them from outside of the event horizon will see them slowly fade away. Fun stuff.
Interesting, i've heard stuff like that before, but never thought about using a black hole in order to do this! Althought we have physics, there are always an unknown element in the air(what i read simply call that dark matter, but it's not exactly that) that scramble all our prediction. And as such, i really wonder how they get to any conclusion implying the use of a black hole! Althought i always keep an open mind, i always found the very existence of black hole to be...fishy. Maybe because of the name!
In all cases, i look forward to the day that we'll be able to bring evryone that ever disapeared back to our reality. It will be inconvenient space-wise, especially if we go all the way back, but the day we invent that, we'll probably already start to use more than one planet! And with the speed that discovery and technology goes these last décades(which is insane compared to the usual evolution rhythm), it may be sooner than we imagine!

With a black hole method, it's certainly possible to "travel" into the future. Just gotta orbit one just right a couple times, escape its gravitational influence, hurtle back to earth and while everyone you'd ever known is long gone, you'll be able to see generations into the future. Going back in time, I dunno how that can be accomplished.
Lil off-topic, it's funny how dimension hopping is less far-fetched than backwards time travel, I think. Take a wormhole to another universe where antimatter is the most well known and dark matter has a name and practical purpose.

I am a random voice on the internet to you, but the fact that I just finished watching the evolution vs creationism debate with Bill Nye who you mentioned, and the chance of me enjoying the stars although barely in any way on FA (if at all) mention i have a interest in the night sky, and wondered the very same questions and realizations you wrote including whats beyond an/the event horizon. I do not believe you to be alone. You speak of no one to share with... Yet you have shared.
I give a hug, if you think of me as my self here on the internet as a "cuddly dragon", or the human in front of a screen, the shape does not matter. Many care who you may not even know.

A response for all theists: The world is so exquisite with so much love and moral depth, that there is no reason to deceive ourselves with pretty stories for which there's little good evidence. Far better it seems to me, in our vulnerability, is to look death in the eye and to be grateful every day for the brief but magnificent opportunity that life provides.
I too quite enjoy such concepts though admittedly lack the telescope with which to watch things with. No matter how far your musings take you. Remember that you have us back here, when you do feel shitty and I'm need of some company. You have easily, the means to chat with me, should you ever desire company :3
Be well mate

Looking out into space never really captured my interest as much as this ball of rock were living on. Have you ever just stared at a blade of grass or sat and watched an insect do its thing, completely unaware of how big its surroundings are. There are so many more amazing and complex systems right under your feet. Space just seems much more simple and predictable than life on earth. I mean, we can predict where an entire galaxy will be billions of years in the future, but we still don't know exactly what is in the rainforests or at the deepest parts of the ocean. Space may be huge, but Earth is nuts!
