The universe is very small but because we human usually think we are big for our mind , we think the universe is so big .... But when you look from a plane or Helicopter , you would see how so small like baby cockroaches we human beings are and our deemed tallest skycrappers not to talk of our two storey building that will resemble anthills ...... little ants will also think the whole world end in her hole or Nigeria is borderless.

Exploring our galaxy in a thousand year time is possible in fact such feast may be achievable next year .... it depends strongly on effort of research and development in evolving tools that can Cruise successfully the different bodies in the galaxy in their different conditions. ....... I am always scared whenever I think we mankind will wake up one bigger trouble from the space one day maybe Animal or something out of this world that mankind as never seen before

Personally, I don't think the universe is infinite to an advanced Intelligence ..... The earth was once infinite to some folks sometimes ago.

Some larger forces can contract or expand our universe ...... we human are merely trying ..... Billions of events yet to be discovered.

Lushcream:
I always think like your kidbro too when I was young .... I heard the earth is revolving and rotating and I asked myself why is our house still at her present location ..... I got to discovered through placing sand in a bowl then use a paper as our house placed in a section of the bowl then I rotate and revolve the bowl only to discover that my paper is still at her position alongside other properties but they are all rotating concurrently and proportionally thus Abuja won't be found in Lagos vice versa. ..... simple si.lly .........

everything in our galaxy revolve , thus the DSTV keep facing her satellite since they are revolving together.

Freemanan:
Very correct.... Applied mathematics concerns all facets of human discipline.... Theoretical mathematics is more streamline to science and social sciences....

Teempakguy:
you are very correct. Mathematics is the study of quantities, patterns, and the relationship between them. My definition, of course.

lol the idea was to transport water from one point to another. . .tho the mechanics of these two are different i would vouch the water pump is more efficient. . . the water wheel would need a channel running all through the land to be irrigated so its water can move along, but the pump just needs a longer pipe

calculator123:
great mathematicians

I don't know if this would be permitted here.I just want to ask this question:
Why are most philosophers atheist? For instance Bertrand Russell,Socrates and Confucius.

1miccza:
Exactly but i would have thought someone would at least improve on the designs of the water wheeel and make it much more better..

Freemanan:
Socrates wasn't an Atheist... He Just wasn't around to witness organised Religion....

To answer your question Why most Philosophers aligns themselves to Atheism is because Religion blocks your mind from rational and rigorous thinking and a Philosopher can't afford that. So in order to think rigorously and critically, you must jettison Religion... I am not saying great thinkers cannot exist even with them being religious, NO NO NO, at least Soren Keikegarrd and Hegel were great believers yet they made great footprint in Philosophy..

Just that depending on your sphere in Philosophy you might likely drop Religion for you to be renowned... Political Philosophy, Epistemology and Cosmology might likely lead you to Atheism....

Chrisbenogor:
If the answer to everything is God did it, why bother being a philosopher?

XploraBen:
Okay now I understand.Only some branches of Philosophy brings about the inclination to atheism.

XploraBen:
I'm not studying or intending to study philosophy;don't get it twisted.I'm only a curious mind.

My question was borne out of the fact that most philosophers do strongly negate anything involving God.And secondly,I do come across their wisdom quotes.

NDprudent:
I stand to disagree with u on this. I think the way we act can affect some stuff in our DNA by switching on/off of some genes....and there are some findings about silencer signals that re transferred 4rm somatic to sex cells b4 reproduction. Epigenetics explains it all.

So saying dat it is not possible isn't correct......
I'll welcome more facts from u
Thanks

Chrisbenogor:
Let me make it more interesting,
He has agreed that the earth is moving and we are moving with it, that means the DSTV dish is moving with it. How come we still get the signal?
Remember simple explanations, really really simple explanations.

are u mathematician?

kodeya:
My field is chemistry. Though I just finished my first degree in it.
My flair is space technology. I recently saw this movie, interstellar, and there were some things I didn't really understand in it.

Like the relation of time and speed. Something called time dilation. Two astronauts went to a planet closer to the blackhole and when they returned, they discovered that they had gone for 23 years whereas they only spent few hours on the planet. I don't know how possible is this. Pls I need a layman explanation on this.

The last time man landed on the moon was over 40 years ago.....can anyone explain why we haven't gone back since then considering the advancement in technology?

RobinHez:
because, the mon landing was a hoax

RobinHez:
I have a feeling this thread will be dominated by Giants! leaving the Amateurs to wallow in amazement!

#observing

RobinHez:
because, the moon landing was a hoax

johnydon22:
Hahahahahahahaha really, you have really read some conspiracy theory, so now let us hear your reasons for thinking its a hoax then maybe give them some good rebuttals

RobinHez:
the best reason is the question the guy asked?

why after 40 yrs of advancement in technology, we havent been able to make it back?

Horlufemi:
I want to observe a black hole and see what is on the surface by myself . I know I'm nuts but I'll rather die trying. I can already hear my bones crushing

johnydon22:
Is that the only one you could come up with for now?. . . lol. . . Did you see my reply to the guy that asked a similar question?

RobinHez:
actually, i'm just reading through the posts....

ok, i saw ur points. Vaĺid!

But lets tackle those theories here for all to learn (including me)
I believe we can make it to the moon now, but then....

check next post

johnydon22:
We borrowed the idea mechanism in water wheels to make pumps... i think Dams too can be classified improved versions of water wheels. . . So the technology is still pretty much in use
