The scale of the universe

[Tank]

As fascinating as it is, it makes me depressed knowing that there is so much (to put it lightly) we'll never get to know.

Why depressed? Can you imagine what it would be like if we knew everything! Much worse in my opinion.

But there's in an incredibly large gap between what we do know and knowing everything.

I don't see that as a problem personally. Just more exploring to do. What better task could a sentient race set itself but to explore the universe? I can't think of anything. Newton said we are standing on the shoulders of giants, should we shirk from the ownus placed on us to discover more? Not bloody likely! We're shrugging off superstition, we can't pull the comfort blanket of religion back over our heads now, too late.

Exactly, Tank. Every major scientific advance which was expected to be the final clarifying achievement in our understanding of the universe, has only led to more and more profound questions. Why would we expect the next, or any future, advance to be any different?

Yeah, everyone know the Higgs Bosun is made of millions of tiny Asmos, they just haven't proved it yet.

Asmos = THE GOD PARTICLE = Too funny.

Ah, good memory, Crow!
I am, of course, ashamed of myself.

Would it help if I ascribed these Asmo-particles with peace, love and joy? Sort of like Care-bear Midichlorians?

Using Carebear and midichlorians in the same sentence is SACRELIGE!

Asmos = THE GOD PARTICLE = Too funny.

Asmos are made of Higgs Bosons and those are in turn made of Asmos, made of Higgs Bosons, made of Asmos etc etc. This is BETTER circular logic than any religious text, no?

That is fairly awesome.

Love it, Tank. Great find.

I love the little geeky references they've put in - I had no idea the Minecraft world was so massive.
