"Everyday, unless you happen to be an astronomer, you probably think little of our universe in general. You are not to blame for this; during the day, a star of absurd -27 stellar magnitude lights and heats our planet, and in doing so blinds us of the many other stars quite a bit further out. During night, however, everything becomes visible. Perhaps not everything, and perhaps not visible, at least to the naked eye. That star of -27 magnitude is denoted Sol, and is the closest star to us in the universe; it is but a mere 150 million kilometers from us on average. But Sol, or the Sun, as it is more commonly named, is an exception to the other stars of the universe; to those other nearby stars, our ordinary measures of distance fail us. We must instead avail ourselves of the light year. It is the distance light travels in a year, nearly ten trillion kilometers. It measures not time, but enormous distances. To the second nearest star, we would appear 4.3 light years away. That would mean that, by the time the light rays from that star--better known to the astronomers as Proxima Centauri--reach our telescopes here on earth, we would see the star as it was 4.3 years ago. Were it to supernova--a term referencing the colossal explosion that marks the death of a star--we would not know about it for 4.3 years. To the nearest galaxy, known to the astronomers as M31 and to the population as the Andromeda Galaxy, we are two million light years away. When the arriving light rays from that galaxy first departed, humans were not around to observe it; yet while in transit, we evolved from the apes and even managed to construct devices that could detect that faint light. And a light ray travelling from one end of the universe to the other would have traversed an unfathomable 13.7 billion light years. If an alien race 13.7 billion light years away sent us a message of eternal alliance, and we received it, they would have sent it to a race that had not yet evolved, on a planet that had not coalesced, orbiting a sun that had not begun to shine in a galaxy that had not yet taken flight. It is now that we begin to understand the universe's true vastness. Across the farthest reaches of the cosmos, there are a hundred billion galaxies, and a billion trillion stars. We are, for the moment, one feeble voice in the cosmic fugue."

you know, i was watching history channel the other day...

[{???}]

I came up with that weeks ago with an FC player who has not yet made an account. We tend to rant about the universe in general for 30 minutes at a time, sometimes more.
But did History Channel help you understand this?

yup, thanks for history channel now i know that we can only see a bunch of galaxies, because the ligh of the other ones hasnt reached earth yet, and that there are galaxies that we arent going to see, because they get away faster than the speed of light

NOTHING EXCEEDS THE VELOCITY OF LIGHT!

[meteoro]

the galaxies that are far enough from here move faster than the speed of light, thats what they said.

So that basically means that we all move faster than the speed of light.

but maybe that was only a suposstion

[{???}]

To the galaxies in motion (by the Special Theory of Relativity), we seem to be moving away at a speed greater than c because at c, the traveler will sense no time passing. But they are traveling very slightly LESS than the speed of light. In fact, you could go from here to the other end of the universe, in your frame, in .01 seconds. But you would have to be going D*MN near the speed of light to do that. And, to the rest of the universe, BILLIONS of YEARS will have gone by. At the speed of light, you would cross it instantaneously, and at speeds in excess of c, you will [drumroll]go back in time.[/drumroll] But that's not possible. So, yeah. Remember, you cannot travel faster than the speed c, but you can traverse any distance in any amount of time.

[meteoro]

i never really understood the theory of relativity, but i dont get how could you travel billions of light years in a second.

Anyways they did say that the galaxies move faster than the speed of light, but if it wasnt true, then we would eventually would be able to see the entire unvierse, unless the humanity doesnt exists by that time
