The Space Thread

David Kipping's latest Cool Worlds vid on FTL travel causes time paradoxes. Found it a bit heavy going to be honest but interesting all the same.

Nice one mate.

Big announcement planned. It's either going to be aliens, or an advisory that the galaxy will explode at 9:30 am on the 12th.

Saves me going to church Sunday,

Is it me or does the red bit look bigger than the black bit? If I'm right, I'm going to put in a request that from now on, black holes are to be called red holes. 

 

In other news I have a pink hole that needs some exploration.

It must be an optical illusion but when you first look at the image the black bit seem to expand slightly. Maybe it's watching us watching it.

I put this in the TV section but thought anyone who pops in here might like it...

 

Missions (series 1) BBC iPlayer.

 

French sci fi about a trip to Mars. Ten episodes, all about 20/25 minutes each.

 

If you like space travel and exploration, you should like this. Got a bit too wacky the last two episodes, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Some euro eye candy. Funky euro soundtrack. Subtitles. 

 

7/10.

The black bit is the hole, though. The red bit - the light - is the accretion disk. There's good simulations here.

Space is fascinating, a bus fits in the same size lane as a car, 3 in the back of a car is a tight squeeze yet a bus you can fit two people on a bench a walkway in the middle and another bench with two people.

Now that Voyager 1 has left the solar system it's sending fucked up data. 

 

Do you know why? I reckon there's nothing there.

Simulation much, Voyager? 

[Mudface]

They should just switch it off and on again.

When stuff like this happens, we all know there is only one credible explanation.

 

Space Godzilla.
