I had always thought the Universe might contain 2.5 to 3 times more Galaxies than we thought. But 10 to 20, that changes everything ..
20 trillion galaxies can’t be wrong ...
You cannot be more mistaken. Only a theological argument might suggest that. The evidence you are looking at is so infinitesimal as to be insignificant against the big picture.
Seems like a waste of time, energy and mass to me..........
IF there is indeed a God then I suspect we are not alone in His creation..........
But it supposedly couples to gravitation, and should then coalesce into dark matter galaxies, stars and planets, which would definitely seem to have an effect, crashing into each other, and presumably ordinary matter objects too. Yet, we don’t see any evidence of that.
I’m not a big fan of plugging something in just to make it fit the standard theory.
Almost makes you think there are millions of life planets (and moons) out there.
It’s a great big universe
And we’re all really puny
We’re just tiny little specks
About the size of Mickey Rooney.
It’s big and black and inky
And we are small and dinky
It’s a big universe and it’s ours
The Lord God is amazing.
I’m not a fan of the DM theory, either. I think it’s just a variable they stick into relevant equations to make them come out right. It’s not a physical entity, and they’ll never ‘discover’ any of it. In the meantime, we’ll just go with what works.
I guess we will soon have to move to a bigger universe!
Well, he did append “/s.”
If you think those galaxies are a long way away now - just wait.
OK, you waited. And just like I told you - they’re further away now then when you read that first sentence.
Trust me. I’ve got science on my side.
That could mean you believe:
A. There is intelligent life elsewhere in the universe.
B. With as many Dems as we have on Earth we don't qualify as "intelligent".
I'm betting on B.
I remember that joke when it was about the Sun.
Inflation, I guess. Certainly not education.
Wait a second, a year ago they were bragging they knew what happened the first trillionth of a second of its creation. I thought they knew Everything?
Yup, the same thought occurred to me. I think we have to keep in mind that the observable universe is not the same thing as the current universe. What we'll supposedly be able to see with the next generation telescopes, which are coming online soon, will be 10-20 times more galaxies than they previously thought were out there (in the observable universe). There are fewer in the current universe (none of which we can see; everything we see is in the past) because of all the mergers. At least, that's what I'm getting out of this article.
Have you seen the options as to who will run the most important and powerful country on our planet? Debatable.
20 x infinity? Wow.
