What about the Snickers way? I’m concerned. Okay, anyway...🚀😊👍
We have no clue. There is far more creative writing in college physics departments than their English counterparts.
An astronomer was once asked how many galaxies were out there. He said, think of it this way……draw a bubble bath. Every single bubble is a galaxy. It really put it into perspective for me.
The Milky Way May Be Surrounded by 100 Hidden Galaxies/
Sounds like a declaration written by “ I AM science Fauchi “
asking
” please send more grant money “.
How do you hide a galaxy?
Stripped of dark matter AND stellar mass? So what are these galaxies comprised of? Disks hydrogen? Black holes?
The Milky Way is surrounded by Galaxies of Mars Bars. Why Not?
We literally cannot see anything on the other side of our galaxy..................
All those neutrinos have to be going somewhere............
But there’s water on Mars.
Cosmic cataclysm only really comes home to roost if you ask AI two questions:
1) How far away from our Solar System is the nearest star?
Answer: Alpha Centauri is 4.3 light years away
2) How many stars are within 20 light years of us?
Answer: 131, in 94 stellar systems (double or triple star systems (like Alpha Centauri)). This is the known count. Darker stars might exist in that 20 light year sphere undiscovered.
Worth a thought when reading articles about thousand and millions of light years distance.
I was going to wonder if Snickers was orbiting Mars…
They’ve simulated and calculated where mass might be concentrated. That method was used to locate our outer planets.
Lets see if this time they can find the equivalent of Uranus...
...with both hands!
Take a peek at images like this:
https://astrobiology.nasa.gov/news/15000-galaxies-in-one-image/
If you download prepare for an enormous file, like Gbytes. Open up something like Gimp and scroll the file. As you go IN more and more, more&more galaxies appear.
Soap bubbles don’t do justice.
I’m quick for an old guy. 😊👍
Stripped of dark matter? Really? Dark matter has never been detected. No matter how hard they try.... No dark matter.
AND FOOLS THINK WE ARE THE ONLY INTELLIGENT SPECIES-—
I DO NOT SUPPORT THAT THOUGHT
.
How old?
I’m 61 and still fighting that particular label…
