- luke374, on 12/27/2008, -4/+171They forgot women.
- zephc, on 12/27/2008, -5/+132I don't think the universe is IN the universe. I guess that depends on what your definition of "in" is.
- DarkGerbil, on 12/27/2008, -10/+110You forgot 4Chan.
- tendonut, on 12/27/2008, -2/+93What about that restaurant at the end of the universe? That's pretty strange as well.
- Bauer22, on 12/27/2008, -5/+82You know it's strange by the CAPS LOCK title.
- jodokast, on 12/27/2008, -17/+8942.
- rpieszak, on 12/27/2008, -0/+62"I did not have sexual relations with that universe"
- Ramble, on 12/27/2008, -3/+65Strangest things - not largest things.
- joejonson, on 12/27/2008, -3/+60I love this kind of stuff
- tacotomato, on 12/27/2008, -2/+4711. Carrot Top
- tendonut, on 12/27/2008, -2/+46It depends on what your definition of "is" is.
- HeyBob, on 12/27/2008, -1/+42It's amazing that we can even contemplate these ideas - 13.7 billions years of existence and it's only in the last few years (or 100's of years) that we can start to know our place in the Universe
- 0ceanic, on 12/27/2008, -1/+42its funny because monica lewinski was fat.
- Maddoktor2, on 12/27/2008, -21/+620. and Everything
- echo2501, on 12/27/2008, -1/+4011. Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster
- overtoke, on 12/27/2008, -0/+37It depends on what your definition of universe is too.
- 350Zed, on 12/27/2008, -2/+37I would have to be ordering "fries with that" to hear from you again.
- explodey, on 12/27/2008, -0/+33I'm pretty sure that scientists are going to continue to believe that planets, life, and gravity all exist.
- camg188, on 12/27/2008, -0/+32Yes, boobies have a strange, unexplainable, gravitional-like attraction.
- SilverStandard, on 12/27/2008, -5/+36EVER!!!
- inactive, on 12/27/2008, -4/+35It depends on what your definition of definition is too.
- ModeSeven, on 12/27/2008, -2/+241. tools that feel the need to drag mac/pc ***** into every ***** discussion. JUST LEAVE IT ALONE FOR ***** SAKE.
- Mujokan, on 12/27/2008, -0/+22Even stranger is why Bollywood actress Mallika Sherawat submits tech articles to Digg.
- gator2000, on 12/27/2008, -3/+24Last few years? Hundreds? For all of recorded history civilization has thought in knew its place in the universe (and thought that previous ideas were primitive/silly/unfounded)...our current ideas will one day look that way too.
- breakingrocks, on 12/27/2008, -0/+21I too am amazed by the electromagnetic force, but I should say that it is not the force that keeps matter together. The nuclear forces, in particular the strong nuclear force, are responsible for that. Think about an atom with several protons in the nucleus, their positive charge should make them repel each other but they are held together by a stronger force between them and the neutrons.
The e-m force is responsible for chemistry and the different states of matter though, and electromagnetic radiation such as light, so it's awesome too! - Maddoktor2, on 12/27/2008, -0/+20More specifically, boobies.
Oh, wait - that was strangest, not best - never mind... - dsmx, on 12/27/2008, -0/+20is......IS.......42
- dhughes, on 12/27/2008, -2/+22 I find the Electromagnetic force amazing, it's millions of billions times stronger than gravity it's what keeps matter together, you can pick up an object right now and defeat the gravity of the entire Earth! Yet try to rip apart object with your bare hands, it's much more difficult if not impossible for most items, and completely impossible for you a person to rip apart atoms.
- MaTT2011, on 12/27/2008, -0/+19I think what bob-san is trying to communicate is that we have the ability to know, not just guess, SO MUCH more about the universe, and subsequently our place in it, that we can be thankful for how far we've come all thanks to the scientific method and other , "go out and actually get evidence" mindsets instead of the superstitious garbage that dominated such speculation in all our past civilizations (at least that we know of) and history as you have pointed out.
Your point is still valid, gator, as the future will look back at us as primitive monkey-tribes playing with electricity, but its not the same as, oh lets say, the Victorian era looking back at ancient greeks and laughing at their zany mount olympus escapades.
also; Praise be to Zeus! - nard3456, on 12/27/2008, -1/+17I THINK YOUR CAPS LOCK IS ON
- WannaBeSquare, on 12/27/2008, -8/+23I believe you deserve quite a bit of internets, good sir.
- DatumPirate, on 12/28/2008, -0/+15Digging you down in an attempt to get you back to 42 diggs.
- lolmax, on 12/27/2008, -0/+14CAPS LOCK: CRUISE CONTROL FOR STRANGE
- umbuka, on 12/27/2008, -0/+14well...so long and thanks for all the fish!
*acrobatic jumps* - Methx, on 12/27/2008, -0/+14Facepalm.jpg
- vivvivtzz, on 12/27/2008, -0/+13what's the dark matter with you?
I don't know but it's pulling me in all directions. - Lemguy, on 12/27/2008, -1/+14I think he was running out of ideas after number 3 and resorted to philosophy
- noen, on 12/27/2008, -2/+14Scientists are the exact opposite. They have the most open minds of anyone. It comes from all that "science" stuff they do.
- soxrcol, on 12/27/2008, -3/+15ZING
- Mujokan, on 12/27/2008, -1/+13He hasn't come back from his smoke break yet.
- chirt, on 12/27/2008, -0/+11Better to remain silent and let people thing you're an idi....
Ah ***** it, you're an idiot - Mujokan, on 12/27/2008, -1/+12"Matter coming from nothing defies every scientific law out there" Hmm, that's an odd way of putting it. Anyway, matter is just energy. The amount of energy in the universe could well total out to zero, because gravity is negative energy. Don't take my word for it, read "The Fifth Miracle" by Paul Davies (physicist and also a Christian).
As for complexity, there is a massive field showing how self-organization works. The "intelligent designer" thing makes no sense when you look at how natural systems are organized. It would be the most ass-backwards way to do it if you were going for a particular result. But actually everything we've come across can be explained as a product of systems feeding back to each other.
Science never "proves" anything -- proof is for mathematics. What science does is systematically gather evidence to try and work out what has happened (and is happening, and will happen). It's about truth, not proof. And truth is based on agreement between observers. - eklife, on 12/27/2008, -2/+13lol
- andytronic, on 03/25/2009, -1/+12So, anyone else annoyed by the Columbia sportswear popup?
- breakingrocks, on 12/27/2008, -2/+13You're mistake then, is to assume everything complex must have been designed. Which is the shortcoming of intelligent design.
- toptopics, on 12/27/2008, -2/+12so God created all this in 6 days and rested on the 7th and then did not create anything else? God sure is weird.
- Maddoktor2, on 12/27/2008, -1/+11erm...who?
