i didn't think it was funny until "yo home to bel air"

 

[bbb]

you know whats cool about everything?

Spoiler

nothing

 

[DJMirror]

old cartoons...

I dont remember much

i watched...batman beyond, pokemon, toonami, some of the nick cartoons, rugrats, justice league (i know it's not old) dexter lab, the angry beavers, and other stuff i can't remember =___=


i just remember power ranger used to be the ****

 

[frotaz37]

Please stay on topic~

 

[DJMirror]

no i cant

i just remember invader zim

Please stay on topic~

What topic?

no i cant

I used to love that show.
Let's all sing a rousing chorus of the Doom Song.

Dude......it's a joke.

hyuga i saw ur post on page 1

can u explain to me how big space is

 

[kirbyraeg]

space is everything and nothing

when you look into the abyss, the abyss also looks into you

/lame

Nobody knows.

That was a Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy quote, though accurate nonetheless.

The observable universe is about 100 billion light years across. You might think that it should only be 2*13.6 billion light years across since the universe is ~13.6 billion years old, and that would be the farthest apart that 2 photons could get in that time. However, space itself is expanding, and at an ever-increasing rate at that, so the distance between those two photons has expanded in that time. But, we can only physically see about 16 billion light years away because of this expansion, that is to say, beyond that, the sum total of the expansion of space between there and here is greater than the speed of light. We are causally disconnected from anything past that: no event there can affect events here and vice versa. Just for reference, our galaxy is about 100,000 light years across. So the universe is about a million of our galaxy lined up end to end.

Now, this is only our own universe we're talking about. There could be entire other causally disconnected universes outside of our own, making up a multiverse. I would say that in my experience, most cosmologists think it is likely that they do exist, even if only because there is no reason to believe they could not exist. I stress that this is just a guess though, and not a full-fledged belief, because we acknowledge that there is no known way to test this directly.

ahhhhh good stuff sheridan! i like those facts. the universe really amazes me too, ive been looking a lot on wikipedia and stuff randomly LOL about like quarks and the higgs boson and all kinds of strange stuff, like strange matter (basically sheridan's rests in teams are like strange matter turning other things strange) and antimatter (mango's rests)

can u explain why the universe is expanding?

ahhhh i just used insane carzy guy-type grammar in this post talking about things that are so complex

(and yet so simple, ****)

 

[NintendoKing]

LMAOOOO @ frotaz's post, and quote post.

8/10, though I still dont get how relativity doesnt keep the universe at 2*13.6 Billion light years across. Maybe Ill understand when I take a class on it. (Is it because no energy is being put into accelerating the objects past the speed of light?)

Also its nice to read a scientific post on smashboards that isn't jumbled with logical errors. I assume its because your a physics major like me

Captain N

On second thought, youd best watch yo mouf

 

[Fly_Amanita]

wtf, how did I forget about Daria?

Physics is cool.

Get at Stab's mom.
She knows everything about the universe.
She "has vision of all of what the outer universe look like."


Get at her.

Chok:

If you've ever heard of "dark energy," that's what's making the universe expand. Only we don't know what dark energy is or where it comes from. We just know about how much there is in the universe. I'll explain: the reason we know dark energy is there, is that we observe the universe to be very close to flat. A "flat universe" is one that is on the border between expanding forever and expanding but eventually contracting again. That flatness requires a certain energy density in the universe to happen. About 4% of the mass-energy of the universe is 'normal matter,' like stars, planets, dust, etc. Then 21% or so is 'dark matter,' which is mass that we observe to be there but we have no idea what it is because it apparently doesn't interact electromagnetically (aka, you can't "see" it because it doesn't talk to photons). And the rest is dark energy. So dark energy is really just whatever it is that makes up the rest of the balance.

Nate:

That's a good question. Relativity really just says that no signal can propagate -locally- faster than the speed of light. Space itself can do whatever it wants, as far as we can tell. What's really happening in the case of the hypothetical two photons, in my understanding, is that the space itself between them is expanding; since space is expanding outwardly to every observer everywhere, there's no way you could violate causality or relativity. It has to do with the difference between normal and "comoving" coordinates. If you draw two points on a balloon, and then you blow up the balloon further, neither point is "moving" but they are still receding from one another. Relativity only constrains the "comoving" relative motion. You can indeed get two things to move more than c away from one another if they are very far away (outside each other's "Hubble Sphere"). Although of course there is the subtle distinction that a balloon is expanding into pre-existing space, whereas the universe is not, it is simply an intrinsic expansion of space itself.

Captain N is so bad it's good. Watch this whole episode and then get back to me.

rofl Okay whatever Sheridan, you and I both know the universe expands because God wants it to.

hahahahahahahahahahaha

this is the best ****ing thread ever

Oh yeah, and **** the critics that didn't like The Hangover.

Here's some sphincters on rotten tomatoes:

"The revelations of the night before won't shock you (strippers, wedding chapel, drugs), but there's so much vomiting, car crashing and tasering of genitals that you don't have time to ponder how uninteresting the story really is."

^^^^^^ hasn't gotten laid in 7 years ^^^^^^


"It doesn't help that the central cast is almost entirely forgettable, from the smug lounge lizardry of Bradley Cooper to the boisterous Jack Black-lite of Zach Galifianakis."

^^^^^^ I don't think he ****ing knows what the word boisterous means ^^^^^^


"An intriguing, time-hopping set-up is wasted on obnoxious characters, celebrity cameos and crass attempts at humour."

^^^^^^ Thinks he's a cultural spelling champ for spelling humor with two ****ing u's ^^^^^^


"The Polaroids of the bachelor party shown during the end titles deliver the genuine laughs the movie has promised; they're better than the entire movie that preceded it."

^^^^^^ Calling digital photographs polaroids leads us to conclude he sucks **** for a living ^^^^^^


I'm not saying it was a great ****ing movie by any means, but holy **** was it funny.

The moral of this post is don't read reviews for a movie until AFTER you've seen the movie. Come up with your own ****ing ideas.

It's 4:38 A.M. Holy ****.

 

[frotaz37]

Seriously the part with Mike Tyson was just so ridiculous I couldn't stop laughing.

I think the only thing that a comedy should be judged by is how funny it is...if stupid dumb obnoxious characters doing lame things within a ****ty plot are making me laugh...I think the movie is a success.

NK's avatar is cute.

Mad cute.

i dunno, nk's schtick doesn't work online. it feels so contrived and unfunny

I still think Atlus should MM th0rn at pound 4, for the right to use the godzilla avatar.

He doesn't need to pay me to switch his avatar. =p
