Whats the biggest thing you can think of ?

[Downanael]

The 310billion lightyear wide gap in space.. I'd call that fucking big.

How much is that with km's?

Space is so confusing

Crazy shit i tell ya. Big day for everybody

 

[Helme]

Apart from the obvious answers(my cock & the universe) the biggest thing I can think of is Uppsala Domkyrka

Spoiler

 

[Sparx]

i dont belive in alternate dimensions thats jsut out thier for sci-fi lovers

If its been proven in Dr Who then its good enough for me

 

[Uara]

Dr Who is the basis for the majority of my scientific knowledge. (going off-topic) Although I was sure Dalek's were impervious to guns, wheres the scientific continuity there

one light year is just under ten trillion kilometres.

 

[Bahumat]

Ezteq's rep score is the biggest thing I've ever seen

 

[Zede]

The biggest visualised concept ever -


The end of Men in Black 1...says it all really

( that our universe is just one " marble " in a big bag of marbles, MiB1s plot was basically just getting the marble back.

The Void goes on forever.
There are trillions of big bangs - each one creates a "universe" within the Void
We do not have a quantum theory of gravity (yet) so we don't know what happens at the singularity of a black hole
According to quantum particle phsyics, the universe is comprised of vibrating strings within 10 dimensions
All we can explain is what we can see and prove from science based on what we understand. Everything outside of that is guesswork, conjecture, and science fiction ultimately. Some things will probably be forever beyond our comprehension

 

[Uara]

just trying to visualise it is mindblowing!

 

[Manisch Depressiv]

My dick.

If you read into quantum particle physics in more detail (!),

(1) matter can be created out of nothing
(2) two particles can exist in exactly the same space at the same time

Theoretical physicists cite this as one possible explanation for how the big bang started. There doesn't need to have been something that created it - in terms of Einsteinian cause and effect theory. Of course we don't know for certain. We may never know for sure. Thats what I like about it. In an infinite cosmos almost anything is possible, even if our minute little brains are unable to comprehend or even guess at what those possibilities may be.

The biggest thing?

All of the universes put together...and then the guy holding it in a snowglobe.

So whats the guy standing in ?

Well that was just the start, as then it begisn to grow from there again until everything is in the pitch black dark as one single miniscule dot of light.

So infact, the biggest thing is the smallest thing. Wrap your brain around that

I know i know!!!... A giant rock.

I'm still trying to get my head around what happens at the singularity of a black hole. All that matter compressed and squeezed into a space so densly and tightly that scientists conject that you need quantum physics to explain how gravity works on the particles - ie all that matter is compressed to one tiny sub-atomic point (possible under quantum physics if you believe that particles can exist in the same space and time as others)...a bit like the big bag in reverse.

yeah thats why i think will inevitably happen until whatever/whoever/however triggers it all again
Imagine the energy needed to split it!

don't take this the wrong way
but you are a hell of alot brighter than i thought you were, and i apologise for that prejudice as it is very obviously wrong

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Lamp again
doh, you have had too much loving

 

[chipper]

my understanding of what lies at the center of a black hole is all the matter broken down into its smallest particles, and with those sorts of pressures im sure there are some exotic particles we cant even begin to comprehend.

the whole nature of a black hole is pretty wild i mean firstly your stretched into an incredibly long thin piece of matter and as you get closer to the singularity which is spinning whatever state your body is in is then wrapped around the singularity.

its also worth noting that it has been theoriesed that the big bang was caused by an exploding super black hole that reached critical mass.

all that matter in 1 area the size of a pin head. stars, planets, other phenomena. imagine the pressure and the energy thats contained imagine if that gravity well suddenly lost all its gravitational pull theres no longer any force containing all that matter. i have to assume that combined with the friction it could lead to an unimaginable explosion (the big bang)

we know black holes give off radiation which is named after hawking
and another question can something become so dense its unable to move anymore?

 

[Lamp]

The questions you've raised can't be answered. Not yet. All we can do is conject, theorise, postulate, since we don't have a unified theory of quantum gravity. We just don't know what happens to particles under such incredible stresses. We do know that Einsteins equations break down at the point of singularity. It is held that the physical size of the material at the singularity is sub-atomically small, the particles being broken down (for want of a better term) and collapsed within 10-dimensional quantum hyper-space. Its highly possible that a reverse-singularity - the reformation and expulsion of sub-atomic quantum material into Newtonian-Euclydian space-time could result in physical phenomena which we are familiar with ie a big bang, creation of stars, planets, and so on. I suspect such particle, on being returned to their alpha state, would vibrate within n-dimensional hyper-space at just under the speed of light.

 

[chipper]

true einsteins theories dont hold up beyond the sub atomic but thats why string theory is so exciting because we can postulate what does happen to these particles

if indeed string theory does hold up and is proven then that is incredible it basically blows particle physics wide open and should we ever be able to see these strings then wow it leads to all sorts of possibilities. for starters it means we could predict the movement of particles that has huge implications for things like matter transportation. and even replication of base particles into objects from a pre programmed unit, yes i know this is all very trekky but this is fact not just fiction

just incase anyone is still reading this string theory basically says that all particles (electrons,gluons,photons,etc theres more but you get the idea) are made up of strings which come in various shapes and oscillations

back to the black hole if string theory is proved correct. if all particles are broken down into there base element ie a string are these strings also stretched? is the singularity composed of nothing but strings? uniform in size and shape and even oscillation? making 1 pure particle?

 

[Lamp]

I think it might prove hard to predict the nature of hyper-dimensional quantum particles given that two particles can exist in the same "space" as another, and that you don't need to have cause to have effect - ie particles can be "created" out of nothing. We're not even able to conject a unified theory of gravity yet alone progress beyond the theoretical as far as string theory's concerned.

I agree, its fascinating to think about the possibilities. There are no doubt aliens in the cosmos who have long ago mastered how to traverse the huge distances of the universe. But for us poor mortals still very much in the dark (literally) anything beyond theoretical equations is pure science fiction.

No such thing old buddy. Black hole singularity and 10-dimensional string theory are two topics I've read up on. There are plenty of resources on the net if you want to read further.

 

[Downanael]

one light year is just under ten trillion kilometres.

Wonder is there even numbers if you would actually count that

I never get around just how huge universe is it's just so unreal,and really makes you feel small

Explains the dimensions upto the 10th....
(I know the currect theory is that there are 11, but it's a nice little animation explaning the different dimensions)

Oh yeah, one more to add here:

Ive got loads of groovy sci fi on such things, Read 'Time' or 'Space' by Stephen Baxter. Greg Bear - 'Eon' & 'Eternity' Easier to read as you have read up on such things, they makes star trek look very domestic
