When he hasn't move in, you senseless people were hitting your heads on the wall and now he has finally moved in, you are still having headache for hitting your heads on the wall at the first place.

Clap for yourself achieving this...

I keep reading it again and again. But I'll grab it sha.
Thanks bro

we deh the same boat ooo

Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there-on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot.

Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.

The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand.

It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.

Please people, I NEED A LAY MAN'S DEFINITION OF THE WHAT "THE SINGULARITY" MEAN.

johnydon22:
Imagine looking down to Nigeria from way up there?

johnydon22:
You have a passion for this blackhole oo, i fear. .


anyway about becoming astronauts, i harbour that dream too, and i know maybe just maybe we may be the first to break the jinx of full blown astronauts coming from Nigeria. . .We will surely meet at the ISS bro, definitely

johnydon22:
I think if these exist as the thoery of general relativity proposes then maybe man can replicate them and i will love the jolly ride of moving from Nigeria to U.S in a matter of Minutes

was thinking wormholes are like portals joining different places mkin it easy to travel from one point to another at the speed of light

johnydon22:
Aaaaaaaaah bro Voyager one sent to the edge of the solar system has made it to the outskirts of the solar system after maybe 37years i think **scratches head**
And the solar system am not sure is up to 1light years in diameter, and 1 light years is approximately 9trillionkm. . Now imagine travelling 25-30,000 light years to get to the blackhole Even if you are an eternal entity you definitely would get bored after all that time

Make we just respect ourself and try taking peeks outside the earth jejely, at least we have the ISS where we can camp in space or probably conolizing mars soon . . I have a dream of going to space sometime in the future but Blackholes? Bros you are on your own, oyo is your case..

kkash:
Pls gurus I nid sm insight on wormholes nd hw its related to time travel.....ive always been of d opinion dat for time travel to actually occur, u nid to transform an object from its sub atomic level to light (E=mc^2), transmit it, nd then rebuild.....buh I wld like to get another angle from wormholes

johnydon22:
We live on the milky way galaxy and i think that a blackhole seats on the center of most massive blackholes these are submassive blackholes. . and yes we have one in our milky way galaxy. .

The distance from our solar system to the center of our galaxy is like 25,000 to 30,000 light years. . . that is multiply 9trillion kilometers to either 25,000 or 30,000 you will see we are practically at a safe distance

Gorimakpa1:
can one build or create a zero gravity condition which is also called weightlessness/ anti-gravity that causes objects to float or levitate in a room or any environment on earth. a lifetime project i intend to embark on

johnydon22:
Very Good questions and i would like to attempt so we can discuss this.
.[/b]I think time is relative and a human concept to represent duration. . mercury has an orbital duration of 88days compared to the earth's 365, but i don't think the effect this 88days has on you is equivalent to 365 days in earth. . . Unless somehow gravity influences time and blackholes hold an almost infinite gravitational energy.
Blackholes are as a result of a supernova. . when a very dense, giant star dies. and this great gravitational pulls/accumulates more materials. . so with this i think we can speculate that the blackhole contains a rich deposit of helium maybe hydrogen too.
I think since blackholes are aftermaths of supernovas which are aftermath of a star death then no the BigBang should predate the blackhole. .
This should be if it is established and proven that we live in a multiverse, some scientist propose so tho.
I dont quite know, we are organic life forms so the depth of our perception on life forms are organic, we can only imagine

Freemanan:
I believe We are not alone Mate.... I believe life exist outside this universe. I believe that an allordial owner dictates the orderliness of this terrestrial ball.

The concept of time is tricky also. Nothing can make time runs faster, time is the centre piece of the activities in the cosmos, it binds all substance... It is one of the few phenomenon only reserve to this allordial owner...

Teempakguy:
I was merely explaining what oyinbo says to him as he requested.
BTW, have you heard of that guy that can read in near darkness? Like a cat? I heard he was from China. Did you also know that on average, humans are getting taller? Did you also know that the black hair is becoming more circular and is becoming more like that of the whites? On average?

Freemanan:
Anyone with knowledge on cosmology and astrology should mention..... An area I love discussing....

johnydon22:
I think there is need to understand the basic point of mathematics. . . Natural science is represented in mathematical notion in initial forms, it is in this form of mathematics that study takes roots... example is Einstein's theory of general relativity, mathematical representation E=mc2. . and by the way mathematics was already in use in Egypt, sumer and even maya before Archimedes even dreamt of existing thousands of years later

Teempakguy:
Hi there!
I'm actually a teetotaler, so . . . if you have LA casera.
I still don't understand why it was banned though. It has been here for decades and it had not killed anybody. Now it kills a few and the government quickly bans it without extensive research? That sounds wrong. And, typical of naija.
Now, let's get to your question.

Natural selection.

This once highly controversial conjecture basically means that in life, two things happen constantly.
1. Things change.
2. The fittest survives.

In every generation, there is a slight change in the genetic make up of organisms. For instance, some people are tall, others are short, it is a mixture of their parent's genes. Some people see more red than others, some are exceptionally brilliant, like everyone on this thread
Now, having all these different characteristics, nature seeks to blend it. In fact, nature wants every member of each species to look and act exactly the same. . Which is why, for a specific location, after having all these impressive traits, NATURAL SELECTION begins. The variations most suited to that environment survive. While the ones that don't die out. For instance, if that terrain requires constant running and/or athletics, the muscular ones will become prevalent. Simply because the lean ones have died out because they did not meet up to the standards.

This explains races . . . species . . . and a lot of impressive stuff. Individual members of species keep changing. And nature "tests" those changes to see which will stand the test of time. in the process, new species emerge.
But one may ask, why? How? Why do these organisms change? What is going on here? Well, that brings us to your second concept.

genetic mutation

Imagine you are typing fast on your computer. And you make mistakes. Usually, you can just erase them. But what if you couldn't? what if your computer doesn't have a backspace button and any mistake you make is permanent? let me guess, that would suck, right?
Unfortunately, or not . . . that is what nature has to work with. During meiosis, DNA doesn't always get typed exactly as it should be. It makes mistakes . . . oversights . . . Typos!
So this means everyone has numerous mistakes in their genetic make up. Which . . . they cannot erase. These mistakes are called genetic mutation and are the basis for natural selection because nature has to find a way to deal with these mistakes, so, it kind of thinks, which of these mistakes can we pass off as a new style?
And that . . . is the best layman explanation I can offer. It is an oversimplification, but. I hope you got it.

Feel free to ask any questions. If I can't answer them, there will be other experts.

Cheers!

Hello people. I had this dream that got me really terrified when I woke up...

*************************************************************************************************************************

I was in a room upstairs in a house (more like a hotel). From there, I could catch the view of almost everywhere. I looked down from d balcony and I saw 2 of my roomates back in school and also 2 of my female friends back in school. From what I saw, it looked like they were having an affair. (one of the girls is married in real life)

They went inside. So I picked up my phone, called the married one and jokingly said "I can see you ooo" She asked "where?" And she laughed too.

All of a sudden, I started hearing deafening noises like bombings. I looked afar off, there was a big place like a refinery, a bomb went off there again. Before I knew it, everywhere started getting dark. I mean real dark! Buildings looked like they were dissapearing.

Amidst the confusion, I saw something like a group of so many castles descending from heaven (those guys from downstairs too were already upstairs). When I saw the building, I just started pointing to it and shouting "Rapture! Rapture!"

We were all looking in that direction but they didn't see the castles that were descending. They were saying there was no castle descending from anywhere and they said the darkness was as a result of d bombings that happened at d building i said looked like a refinery.

We all went downstairs. Everywhere looked scanty (really scanty- streets looked deserted and we looked like we were the only ones in the whole of that area). From nowhere, some policemen came and they told us to go back inside and that everything was fine.

***********************************************************************************************************************

I opened my eyes at 2:45 a.m and my heart was beating at a very faster pace! The only thing that came to my head was Rapture and the antichrist! I WAS TERRIFIED!

People, I'm not here to bore you with any preaching. This was what I saw and i decided to share.

LET US LIVE OUR LIVES LIKE GOD WILL COME THE NEXT MINUTE! God bless

I know my write-up sounds like a 4 years old kid.

SirStevoe:
Wow! Even Ikeja isn't spared. Lol
In actual sense, the flood wasn't caused by the Lagos rains, but by blocked/insufficient drainage channels. These drainages did not block themselves, they were blocked by human beings. People who have poor values, who in turn have no value for environment and others. These set of people are the ones who turn these drainages to their refuse grounds and dump all sorts there.
Then when events such as these occur, government is blamed?!
This is not to absolve the government of blame, but if each one of us play our respective roles and citizens become law abiding, things will definitely move forward and the change we seek becomes clearly visible.
Government and people need to work hand in hand, Nation building isn't a job for either party but for both, individually and collectively.


I Don taya for this nonsense.


Change!!! Eko Oni Bake O!!!
