OP jah bless u for this thread. Like I always say, its really good for people to be exposed to the things around them. These girls must have been exposed to this type of situation before or still, they must have heard from somewhere. Mine was Nigerian movies o!
Remember when I was a kid about 5-6years old, I had a not too similar encounter where I was stopped by a Rich man riding a big jeep with a.c when coming back from school. The man told me he knew my dad and that he's been told by him to take me home, he reached out to me with an apple saying he knows that I'm hungry and I should eat. And by Odin's beard, with the way I was sweating + being tired and hungry I almost took the apple and went in but then I thank God for the many good Nigerian movies I watched back then as a kid, because I was so exposed to the popular re-occurring scenarios that plagued Nigerian movies then, like 'children being kidnapped and used for rituals under false pretense by men/women saying they were sent by their parents to fetch them' on home videos. I was already enlightened/exposed even before this one befell me at that point in time. I quickly said no! And when he persisted I ran for my dear life with head and neck intact, and as such my head and neck are still intact today. In all only God knows what would have happened if I had succumbed to my urgent needs at that time, just maybe I would have gone home sooner with the juicy taste of apple in my mouth, or worse my head would have ended up in a babalawo's pot. Guess I'll never find out, but y'all should thank God for me that I'm still alive today.
Story morals: Get exposed!!! Or be disposed!!!

Macmilla:
The Solar system would have been enough to sustain earth. Why all that?


Food for thought.

Here are my analysis (though they just maybe slightly incorrect)
As u may/may not already know, the Earth as do the 9 planets are all held in place by the Sun's gravitational field. Now do u think the Earth would have been able to survive this long without the other planets aiding in some way? Take for instance the planet Jupiter. With its enormous size and gravitational pull attracts meteors, comets, asteroids and all to itself and even at times deflect them into deep space, reducing the number of impact Earth has to take. Meh I could go on, just feeling too lazy to type

Macmilla:
I'm very sure we can't travel at the speed of light, yet it will take light some 10 billion years to get to this galaxy. So I ask, how was this picture taken?

You're absolutely right, any images of the Milky Way that
show an outside view or the spiral shape are computer
generated by an artist, based on the measured positions of
all the stars in our Galaxy. Our farthest spacecraft has barely
left the influence of he sun, much less traveled outside the
galactic plane.
However, images that show the Milky Way from edge-on
such as these are likely real because that's how we see our
galaxy from Earth. It's also what you'll see if you go outside
in a place with very little light pollution (though probably not
that defined or colored since our eyes aren't as good as our
cameras). Think of it this way; you can take a picture of a barrel from inside it, cant you?
And by analyzing that picture you can even extrapolate how
the barrel looks from outside.

Zedric:
Wait, tell me you are joking. You opened this thread so you should know just how expansive the universe is (and some physicists are hinting at the possibility if a multiverse). So will you seriously say a Supreme entity built all if that just because of humans? Please

As an Astrophysicist, I believe God exists and it's safe to say he created the unexplored universe though speculations arises as to "WHY". Why the many planets, stars, galaxies and all? Are they at all in some way relevant for human survival? Or is science trying so hard to make us re-evaluate our existence by denying God's existence in turn?
Guess we'll never know.

Hawlahscho:
You no dey laugh

Just found this; www.nairaland.com/2473288/26-pictures-make-re-evaluate-entire/1#36241248

speakout72:
Nice one michaeljnr

And thank you Mr.

Zedric:
Yet we humans, egotistically, believe we are the only intelligent life out there

What? Don't tell me u think their are aliens out there

Koolmexxi:
Yea too badt considering nasa is set to make a major announcement today on a major discovery..

Still, that's not relevant. People just tend to go after useless threads even when educative ones like this exists

Hawlahscho:
lol

Thank u "LOL" for helping niggas when they got nothing to say

Hawlahscho:
As in WestHam? Or Westbrom?

LOL. "W" as in "Dobuluyu"

AdekunleSegun:
this is why GOD is greater than what human can ever imagine.

fear GOD.

He's amazing isn't he? Yet he still watches over all

CuteMaro:
Oh ! Astronomy my 1st Love!



Its just Amazing.... Makes u want to rethink and doubt some told stories.



I can't help but imagine what is out there...Could there be extraterrestrial life?



Guess we can't know until science tells us.

Me too, although I doubt we'll ever see aliens (with each solar system billions of light years away) unless they maybe decide to invade the Earth

Koolmexxi:
If dis makes u re-evaluate ur entire existence, then what happens when u go deep into science as a whole Anyway u should have at least given credit to the dude on buzzfeed except plagiarism is now encouraged on nairaland.. Anyway here's the link in case u forgot to copy dat too... Link http://www.buzzfeed.com/daves4/the-universe-is-scary#.xsDgNmW7EK
Anyway u try sha but I'm jus looking for trouble dis morning.. On a lighter note, wen nepa go bring light out there?

And here it is. Here’s everything in the observable universe, and here’s your place in it. Just a tiny little ant in a giant jar. Oh man.

Almost there...

And just a little bit farther...

Keep going...

And farther…
Everyone we know and everything we own are all in that red little tiny dot. Amazing isn't it?

And this is what happens when you zoom out farther…

This is what happens when you zoom out from your home to your solar system.

So if you’re ever feeling upset about your favorite show being canceled or the fact that they play Christmas music way too early — just remember… This is your home.

And, you know, it’s pretty safe to assume that there are some black holes out there. Here’s the size of a black hole compared with Earth’s orbit, just to terrify you:

And just keep this in mind — that’s a picture of a very small, small part of the universe. It’s just an insignificant fraction of the night sky.

Here’s one of the galaxies pictured, UDF 423.
This galaxy is 10 BILLION light years away. When
you look at this picture, you are looking billions
of years into the past.
(Some of the other galaxies are thought to have formed only
a few hundred million years AFTER the Big Bang).
