Aren’t we insulting the super masses?
Posted in General on July 14th, 2010 by RaviWhen in the recent years, thanks to the Hubble space telescope, we have found out that there are not only billions of trillions of gazillions of stars out there, but there are billions of gazillions of petametazillions of galaxies out there, and we don’t have even the exact count of stars on our own Milky way. Pathetic.
Earthlings know of a few stars, and most of them are larger than our own Sun, the Sun worshiped by ancient civilizations as the first god, is now a bit of an embarrassment after seeing all the huge ones there. Its a fucking yellow dwarf star. Its not even a star, its a dwarf, and its nucleosynthesis cannot produce anything above nitrogen, and all the gold and silver that we have on our planet were either brought by asteroids, or they are just byproducts of a supernova that exploded previously, from which the Sun and the planets around it formed.
Wikipedia stuff. The point I’m trying to make is, if an alien ever manages to invade us, wouldn’t he roll on the floor and laugh his ass off if he finds out that we measure distances with Astronomical units, which is the distance between the earth and the sun, and masses of stars with solar masses?
“So you measure our star with your birthday candle?”
Heres the point I’m trying to make. When you scale yourself down to the human on earth the size of an electron, you will find that the distance between each ring around the nucleus is as much farther as from the Sun to Pluto.
There are stars so far away in the universe that would make our solar system look like an atom with the sun for the nucleus and the planets for electrons. I wonder if lifeforms there it would ever be able to discover something so small as the real atom, and the sub atomic particles that we know of today.
