What can I say? I have many hidden talents, my linguistic skills being the very least of them!

Look, if this is weird for you, being tutored? I don't mind helping you a little longer.
You could have sex with me if you really want to help...I guess that's a "no"?

Perhaps, but until you can belch the Greek aphabet backwards while simultaneously shooting peas out your nose and crushing beer cans with your thighs, I will simply have no respect for you.

No offense to our Aussie visitors, but that article gives new meaning to the phrase "Down Under".

Sorry. :wink:

Nifty! "Space, the final frontier..."

:beamup:

That slideshow reminds me of an old astronomy question: It's generally agreed that Earth floats in the middle of the Milky Way, a spiral Galaxy. On a good night, you can see it as band of hazy light across the sky. So, if we're in the middle, (vertically speaking; horizontally we're off to one side) looking at the galaxy edge-on, how do we know what it looks like from above? Maybe there's a simple "duh-squared" answer, but if so, I haven't heard it yet. It's like the wallpaper in Brian's room, a trivial question, but slowly destroying my mind...

Cool! I've seen such a movie at school once, was very impressive.

A few days ago I was looking at the stars, thinking: these stars might be a thousand times as far away from me as America, and yet can I see the stars and not America. It's a strange thought. I think no human brain can imagine the size of the universe.

It also made me think: if there are so many planets and stars, and the universe is so big, then the chance that there's life somewhere else is also very big. Aliens excist! :). But I doubt we would ever meet eachother. It makes me damn curious though: what would those Aliens be doing right now? Maybe there's somewhere else also a human-like race, where other humans are also internetting.

And what about the end of the universe? I simply do not believe that the universe is endless. It's impossible, because then it would keep 'generating' stars. There must be an end somewhere, there can't be endless amounts of stars and planets. Maybe the rest of the universe is just void, without even stars. Oh well, whatever..

I'm not sure how people map out the universe, it's one of those things that I used to have a developing understanding of but then I ran away from math and science the first chance i had. i must still be running because now when i look back it's all blurry. I like how you tie in MSCL just for fun when posting about other topics.
Cool link candygirl, I think I've seen something similiar on Space (canada's sci-fi tv station) except it was slower and narrated.
