I kind of already knew about this due to my Universe Story course (we were even shown a video that was created off of the many images of the Hubble Space Telescope!).
It really makes you think, doesn't it...

Eta Carinae and Nebula look mad beastly.
Good lord. We know the largest things known to man, and the smallest. And we haven't even seen the smallest yet, I bet.
That is amazing. Truly amazing. Scary at the same time, since it's hard to understand how all this exists without HUGE CATASTROPHIC END GAME results. I can't wait to see what intelligence lies out there.

I saw this posted on a different forum a few weeks ago. This scale seriously just puts a mere fraction of the universe into perspective, though.
Here's the link I saw: http://www.arenajunkies.com/showthread.php?t=114594
and here's a video that was posted with it: http://www.tenthdimension.com/medialinks.php
pretty cool stuff.

It's an amazing and awe-inspiring picture. It's humbling to me that no matter whether humans make it to these extremes of our universe, I most assuredly will not be around to see it. No less humbling to me is Carl Sagan's "Pale Blue Dot."

I could see the existence of some extradimensional being that conceived of our universe and knows every detail. Logically, such a claim is unassailable, if also unprovable.
But if they were capable of all that, I find it impossible to believe that they really care whether I eat pork. They'd have to be some OCD-*** mother****er for that.

The Bible is not about god, its about how to
1. make you an obedient poor person (no stealing etc)
2. make sure you live to make more Catholics (don't eat pig cause pigs are unclean, I mean unholy)
3. make sure you marry one person and **** them like crazy without protection to make more Catholics.

Crash--shut up.
I typically agree with you on most posts, but for goodness sake--save your raging against the machine (no pun intended) on crummy threads. I don't want a flame war to start off of this. Hbox, I didn't know you have a TMQ look on the universe. Because if you do, you have officially become my favorite Puff to watch (even above Mang0).

BTW, I think I wanna be an astronomer now
SINCE LIGHT TAKES 13 BILLION YEARS TO REACH EARTH FROM THESE GALAXIES, THE IMAGE WE SEE ACTUALLY DEPICTS A TIME WHEN THE UNIVERSE WAS ONLY 800 MILLION YEARS OLD
Totallllly blew my mind
Space is just, so vast and huge.
It's so interesting

Yeah, that part blew my mind.
However, does that mean that the force of the big bang caused us to move faster than the speed of light?
Scientific person help me out here.

Space is so ridiculous. I used to read about it ALL the time until I realized I could never, ever, comprehend it. None of us can. The human mind doesn't have the capacity to understand.

Ah, this reminds me of my own little theory, which I will refer to as my 'Scalar Universe Theory'.
I don't know if this theory exists in a public sense with a different name, but it's one of the theories I have about life, the universe, and everything.
Rudimentary Scale
The universe is made up of everything in it.
Continuing on, the entity "God" would be perhaps made up of the universe, or all universes, taking into consideration the possibility of a multitude of universes.
This theory begs the question, does it end there?
Is "God" the end of the scale?
If not, where do we go from here?
Would "God" be like a subatomic particle, one of many "Gods" that form something higher on the scale?
What would you call a group of "Gods" that make up the Atom of the next level of the scale?
What would these "God Atoms" make?
What would be the "God Matter"?
Does it ever end...?
Perhaps it is outside the ability of man to conceive.
Ah, well.
It's just a theory.

Rudimentary Scale
My theory states that like we are made up of many smaller entities that build upon one another, the concept of "the universe" is much the same.

This **** is rly trippin me out
I think the way things worked out was that at the moment of the big bang, things did expand at the speed of light, but a couple of milliseconds in, gravity split off from the other three forces and started to slow everything down by pulling it all back towards itself. Of course, gravity is weak enough that it didn't really pull things back together very quickly.
This is the most terrifying and depressing fact about our universe.

i've seen this picture before...it's my goal in life to truly understand such things...space is fascinating

Entropy is just a representation of potential. The greater the universe is (constant expansion), the greater possibilities for molecule arrangements are.

randomness = universe
There's also the part where entropy and the second law of thermodynamics predict that eventually there will not be enough energy for anything to happen. That part kinda sucks
Unless we can find some way to harness the ability of quantum events to generate energy. There's a Stephen Baxter book about that.

I actually have that Hubble picture, it's something I've had for a few years and it's always just awesome to look at. When you realize the size and scope of our universe and everything that exists in it. The beauty and complexity, along with the unknown and unknowable. It's all incredibly amazing and humbling.
For those who believe in a creator, or specifically the one described in the Bible, there is an awesome video titled Indescribable and it goes through a lot of beautiful images taken by the Hubble telescope. Many I hadn't seen before and a speaker talks about it all from the Christian perspective.
Here's a link to the dvd on amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Indescribable-DVD-CD-Louie-Giglio/dp/B0018O3P54
