Science is Cool....

This is a repository for all cool scientific discussion and fascination. Scientific facts, theories, and overall cool scientific stuff that you'd like to share with others. Stuff that makes you smile and wonder at the amazing shit going on around us, that most people don't notice.

Post pictures, vidoes, stories, or links. Ask questions. Share science.

Why should I care?:

Or figure out if we can even survive a prolonged journey in space without having our brains turned to Swiss cheese:

Pretty much.

Space is a bitch man. We're still a long way from actually being able to survive out there.

Rumor was right. They found a star with 7 Earth-sized planets. 3 of those are in the Goldilocks zone. The habitable planets are pretty close together. One or more are actually tidally locked. That's cool...

One of them has perfect conditions for water.

About 39 light years away. We'll need some snacks.

40 light years away. **** that doesn't sound that far, but it's Hella long ways off.

We need to get to where we can travel faster than the speed of light

As soon as we de-ice the Mass Relay masquerading as Charon, we'll be able to skip most of the heavy lifting in the journey.

Sounds like the gravity effects in the system are pretty whacky. The planets are so close that they pull on each other constantly, making their orbits all wavy and weird. Planets will pull close to each other when they're close in orbit.

Just said they've found thousands of potential exoplanets in the Goldilocks zones of their parent stars. Crazy.

This is why we need to get going now. Throw some stuff in a suitcase and let's go.

And if they're close enough that their orbits are wacky, I wonder if they'll eventually collide. If you're an intelligent being on one of those planets, that's a strong impetus to develop space travel if you know for sure that a planet is going to hit you at some point.

I'm ready. But I gotta make a bathroom stop first.

Good idea. Because where we're going, there are no rest stops.

They're probably pointing a telescope at our own solar system right now, saying "Man, that planet is perfectly in the zone with no other planets around. And it has water and everything. Even a moon. Wish we lived there."

It's actually sad for me to see these things. It's exciting but a buzzkill knowing I'll never get to actually see it or us go there.

Maybe they're even on their way now, their giant bone-crushing mandibles clacking together in excitement and their poisonous scorpion tails flicking back and forth in anticipation.
