Depends how bad at math you are. If you struggle to pass high school math do not attempt to get a physics degree...

I can't imagine being jeff and *not* doing that.

Quantum probability wave fronts! Sorry, am reading Dan Simmons...

I think someone was trying to gain clicks with the article title and I just left it unchanged. The actual paper is entitled Microwave imaging of quasi-periodic pulsations at flare current sheet. That’s not quite so catchy though.

Every time I light one of my farts on fire I am reminded that in this brief moment of burning gas, I carry within me the power of a star.

Human Beings. Until we happen across another, more heinous entity, humans are top of the scary list.

The fact that there’s SOO much more and I’m here stuck paying taxes

Yeah.. I really try not to think about it. The first time I read about it, I thought about it for months. We would be absolutely fucked, I could see society falling apart

Consciousness itself is the worst thing about universe and the only logical answer to the question, really.

There is a fascinating Radiolab about this topic that you should check out. It’s called The Middle of Everything, and it discusses what the “middle” size is for everything in the universe.

This was for real my thought. I was like "That's it? That's the theory? That sounds a rather peaceful way to go." There's no need to fear something we have no way of predicting much less knowing if it's even true.

That's ok, the vastness of the universe will never be able to comprehend the human brain.

The infinity documentary was “A Trip To Infinity” on Netflix, and the simulation theory one is available on YouTube at https://youtu.be/pznWo8f020I

Guessing this one?

This is the truly scary scenario. Or any object with a very large mass passing through our solar system.

>...heartbeat-like...

Unfortunate choice of adjectives. There are actually many sources of periodic bursts in the universe. "heartbeat-like" implies it originates from a sentient source.

For what it’s worth, we are small, but we are still a part of it all! I just always find it so exciting and wonderful to be part of a universe filled with such a grand scale of incredible things, and to be able to see and try to comprehend it. After all, despite all that vastness and looking we are still the only part of the universe we know of capable of looking back, and IMO that makes us pretty special. :)

Somehow a lake with crystal clear and calm water is even creepier for me.

Can you link the videos please?

Jeez thanks for this new image.

I mean, black holes are pretty terrifying. The fact that there's a point where, if you get too close, nothing in the conceivable universe can possibly pull you back out, and we aren't totally sure what's inside them because not even light escapes. It's wild.
