- DjDimitrious, on 10/11/2007, -3/+38Not really a pic, but a series of 3D graphic visualizations of things scientists believe to exist.
- braingilbreath, on 10/11/2007, -1/+35seeing is believing? we can't see half of these things!
- fluidfoundation, on 10/11/2007, -0/+27I'm sitting on one right now.
- 10001110101, on 10/11/2007, -0/+24I'm amazed by the photo of vacuum energy.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -2/+14More proof of his mighty noodly appendage at work....
- cbrophy78, on 10/11/2007, -1/+11Now i know that all my ***** hasn't fallen into a black hole and erased from existence but just moved to a fifth dimension.
- 1773nium, on 10/11/2007, -3/+9Is that a question or a statement? I cant tell from your horribly designed comment. I dugg you up anyway.
- Turambar, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6you are.
- hfactor, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Science and religion do not play on the same field, not even the same game. There will never be "no room" for a god - because science deals with the physical world, religion with the metaphysical realm.
If people could finally understand this.
By the way, I´m not defending religious beliefs, I have none. But it is stupid to believe that you could falsify religion. - LandStander, on 10/11/2007, -2/+7Oh....My...Science!
- Turambar, on 10/11/2007, -10/+15it really is a pain in the ass to have come so far scientifically, and yet still have to deal with people who label things they don't understand with "god did it!"
maybe not in my lifetime, but eventually, science will explain everything, and there will be no more room for your god. - westfork, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5I love Physics... Basically, if you can make the math work out, you can come up with some fantastic theories (look up fantastic in the dictionary).
Einstein said that physics is like describing the inner workings of a pocket watch, only by observing its face, and never being able to take the back off to look inside. - Aero347, on 10/11/2007, -8/+12Just like someone trying to convince me that men built this office building i'm working in! oh.. wait
- timusca, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6I was hoping they found a real 3-breasted woman like in Total Recall :*(
- codemonkeysteve, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3It only sounds like manager-babble when you don't know what it means. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M_Theory .
"Brane" is short for "membrane", and it's essentially just String Theory (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_theory), but with one more dimension, so you get vibrating sheets (or "membranes") instead of vibrating strings (or "strings"). - adb44, on 10/11/2007, -2/+5All the other things on the list are verified to exist... http://www.space.com/bestimg/result.php?back=&cat=strangest
Still waiting for the predictions from string theory/brane theory =). - Turambar, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3"If God created ANYTHING, who created God?"
the human imagination. - Godlike, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Even if God created everything, the mind of an omnipotent being would be so vastly far beyond the grasp of a mortal man that even anyone saying "God thinks X" is completely wrong in every single last format (yeah, even book form) that it dissolves any credibility that person has as soon as they open their mouths.
If God created ANYTHING, who created God? - drgruney, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3I am seriously disappointed. Judging by the headline alone I was expecting the space station crew found a microwave oven or an Edsel floating around up there.
- AJH16, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4Burried as inaccurate because it is visualizations, not pics. Also, nothing new here, move along.
- kungfujedis, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4"The most exotic are often the most strange" Seriously? Submitted by Captain Obvious?
- MasterThief117, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2I thought Dark Matter was disproved...
- enivid, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Well said.
I think that "strangest things" is the biggest overstatement of the century. - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2So THAT's where my car keys are.
- iceblademan, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I didn't know that the strangest thing in the universe is actually a really bad rendering of a black hole drawn in MS Paint.
- pig13, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2I swear this is like the third time I've seen this on the Digg front page.
- jedikv, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Its on Star Trek - and therefore real at some point
/joke - monesy, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Actually, we still haven't detected gravitational waves or dark matter.
Im not saying that they don't exist. Im just saying that your wrong. Quit pretending that you know what you are talking about. - feoren, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1"Brane" isn't short for "membrane", they just come from the same root word. There is a physical concept called a "membrane", though, which is a 2-dimensional brane.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brane - 0crabby0, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1A planet or asteroid made of anti-matter, would be the strangest object in the universe.
- adb44, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1My bad, I didn't read the grav wave part and thought it was something else (ie that gravity warps space-time, which IS verified). And dark matter, or something we don't understand that's a lot like dark matter, must exist to make sense of galactic rotation speeds. Take an intro astro course and then get back to me on that one. I'm not saying you won't disagree with the idea of dark matter. I'm just saying you're a dick. Quit pretending you're witty (and so will I).

Step One: ... - MeneL001, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2After reading my reaction was, "What?".

- Hangender, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Actualy, what we not seen in space is the most amazing.
- ChewMyFootOff, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Not to mention, the higher "higher being", and so on, down to the last turtle that carries the earth on its back.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1If you don't want to look at them, then don't.
Personally, I have seen all of these graphics at some time or another on discovery channel or science channel specials. - Tabris, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1double-post, digg down.
- Tabris, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I agree. Religion ihmo just tries to explain the why, whereas science explains the how. There's no reason God couldn't have designed a purposely chaotic evolution.
I think religions main purpose today is to give people hope in something greater than themselves. And that's fine. I mean people will pray for the strength to get something done, and if they get it done, they praise their god. Obviously, they could have done it all along, but it's that belief that gives some people strenght and allows them to do whatever it is they're doing. Is there _really_ anything wrong with that? No.
And I'm purposely ignoring the religious-political aspect of it, such as forcing religion on people, religious wars, etc. That's not a relevant point and I believe it to be a corruption of any religion. I'm agnostic and really see no conflict between the religion and science. - callmejordy265, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1why is the website left-justified?
- monesy, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Sorry, I am an educated dick; and therefore, was not pretending to be witty. Wittiness comes quit naturally to an educated dick.
The astro courses I have taken have given me a very good understanding of why dark matter is thought to exist; so please don't bother with explaining or justifying their existence (unless, of course, you have something new to say).
The warping of spacetime by gravity is widely accepted, only because General Relativity is widely accepted. General Relativity is a theory that explains gravity in terms of the warping of spacetime, which is caused by matter/energy.
General Relativity is a very good theory that has been shown to be very accurate at a cosmic scale (which is why it is a widely accepted theory); but it breaks down miserably on a quantum scale, suggesting it is not the "correct" theory of gravity (this is why alternative theories such as M-theory - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I think it goes along the lines of "God has always existed". So why doesn't "The universe has always existed" work?
As far as I'm concerned the Multiverse exists because it can't not exist. Our individual universe might cease existing but my latest knowledge of quantum/string theory says that everything exists. in the sense that there is a parallel universe where everyone wears a cowboy hat. of course finding it would be impossible since there are also an infinite number of identical universes and an infinite number of universes where one atom is out of place. Perhaps the infinite number of universes makes it impossible for one universe to have anything to do with another. If thats the case then the for all practical purposes there aren't other universes.
Of course there is the possibility of an infinitively regressive universe. In which case universes exist inside other universes, this might simply occur at a subatomic level or maybe deliberately such as a compressed, procedurally generated computerized universe simulation, maybe both. Once again everything exists. - LLLSecretChimp, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Oh. So the Earth's strange because fluidfoundation's chair is on it?
- soupdawg30, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Think this explains missing socks in the dryer? You put 2 in and you get 1 out.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1It's "BRANEworld" not "BRAINworld"
- changyang1230, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Fluidfoundation was referring to the Earth.
- GliTCH82, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Listen fool, what does this theory have ANYTHING TO DO with disproving the existing of God? Are you completely retarded? Why couldn't God make this, for example?
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Gravity warps space-time is verified? As in physical evidence from an experiment? Or you mean it's just widely understood and accepted?
