luvmijeje:our is not that big compared to others... trying to comprehend the universe is try to run 'mad'...Lol. if you really interested in science try and learn about subatomic particles and discoveries in that area. there's not been many new discoveries with the big objects but the 'small things' are getting really interesting. 1 Like 2 Shares |

taurus25:Asin eeeeehn e tire me... The god damn book was thinking the sun freaking orbited the earth and mentioned an orbit and dudes are trying to incorporate that crap to recent findings. I wonder if the bible and Quran thumping religionists had a more impressive work like that of ancient Sumerian texts that accurately measured the orbit of Jupiter, we would have been hearing that shiit everyday. like "the bible/quran measured the orbit of the jupiter 3500BC ago .. God is great" but alas they are all freaking out over this punny speculations. Imagine if the bible or quran had an impressive scientific fact (measuring jupiters orbit) like a more ancient text (sumerian text) did 1 Like |

luvmijeje:It's not only landing on the sun you wrote about,i felt very bad about your comments, is as if you dont understand the topic under discussion and science generally.though i dont mean to insult you. |
Re: 10 Facts About The Sun You Probably Didn't Know by johnydon22(m): 11:20pm On Feb 14, 2016 |
afoobabs:You will see one about the moon soon Some stars host planets while some don't... I doubt if Canis Majoris hosts any planet MAY have some smaller star(s) orbiting it though.. Its a meteor... a small astroid debris that enters our atmosphere at incredible speed and lights up .. there are not stars |

kevoh: True. But it is easier to fly than change the biosphere and crust of an entire planet. We may have something like greenhouses out there, but not such drastic things as terraforming. Terraforming is eons away. Pun intended. |

Hysmady:At some point, earth was the centre of the universe, then we found we're just one of many planets orbiting the Sun. Now we know we're just one of many stellar systems orbiting around the centre of the milky way. We also now know that the milky way is one of many galaxies in a local cluster of galaxies, so it is not inconceivable that our universe may well be one from a cluster of parallel universes...although, this veers into the realm of speculation. |

Tellemall: Actually, terraforming is not aeons away, it's just a couple of decades away. Terraforming is already possible with the technology we already have at our disposal. There are plans underway to start sending people to Mars in 20 years time. Beneath is a link to website that shows Elon Musk's(Elon Musk is the CEO of SpaceX, a company that launches rockets to space among other astronomy related things) plans of sending people to Mars and of course, terraforming Mars. It's a very long read, but you'll be hooked to the site. waitbutwhy.com/2015/08/how-and-why-spacex-will-colonize-mars.html |

just to satisfy my curiosity and I'm not science oriented by the way; if there's the speed of light and it's measurable, what then is the speed of darkness? Might sound dumb but u know, just a thought. 1 Like 1 Share |
Re: 10 Facts About The Sun You Probably Didn't Know by johnydon22(m): 8:59am On Feb 15, 2016 |
charlesm91:Of all the question i have seen here i love yours the most and please it is not a dumb question. Darkness plainly speaking is the absence of light photons, and we all know know light travels at 2.9million meters/second. So if the source of light gets shut out it takes light that same amount of speed to completely disappear and darkness to engulf the vicinity just as light wanes at exact same speed and rate. Even though directly speaking you can say there is nothing like speed of darkness but in practicality "Speed of darkness is equal to the speed it takes light to wane" So you can say Light and Darkness have uniformed speed of 2.9million meters/second. .
