An entry posted that I read today is: how much do we know that there is to know regarding the universe? Well. That's a pretty good question. Here's my take on it. We could be considered a low level of intelligence as opposed to whoever else is living out there. That's right. A good analogy would be the ants on the Earth. We are the ants and the universe is our world. Does that make sense? Despite our vast knowledge, there is still a limit to intelligence. And or immense understanding of things come with negatives. For it often comes with flaws. And it's often paradoxical. We think we know what the universe is made up of. Yet we only understand about 7 percent of it all. The rest is dark matter or energy. How about antimatter!? Where did that get lost in the mix? There are some pretty good theories that take dark matter out of the equation. After all, we've recently discovered gravity waves. That's how I like to call them for short. They are A) Extremely powerful B) Extremely fast and C) Phenomenally short, probably well beyond a trillion, if stacked end to end, could fit in 1mm. So, despite their incredible power, they are also extremely difficult to detect. Ever since the discovery, numerous questions have appeared on Y! regarding this occurrence. One was not even related yet I thought I'd mention it because the gravity waves gave me some inspiration. Someone had asked me, "Why holds the sun up in the sky?" Not me, it was the asker who messed up on grammer. So I immediately thought, "Gravitational waves!!!" HA! That's really hilarious. It's really unfortunate that I make lots of jokes that no one wants to get. Meanwhile, people had posted dumb questions about Gravitational waves, so go figure... let's get back to the analogy I described earlier; those ants (us) are really in the middle of a huge park. And when human activity starts to occur, they don't know what to make of it. They never really notice people because they live in a very isolated patch of Earth (the park). They may not be seeing people; only evidence. After all, they don't have the best perspective compared to us! Don't you think that the ants could really use our intelligence?! Well they probably would, except you have to think about, whether this is really necessary. And the same might go for us. There could very well be forces that are invisible to people out there, that might account for some bizarre anomalies that we've been noticing. Perhaps there is even life which we can't see, even if we were to travel what we would consider vast distances. So, where are we in the universe; are we near the edge perhaps? If so, we might not be able to observe much of the universe, therefore leaving us with so much empty space in our knowledge. The outside might not even be tangible, according to some. How about this: How did the universe expand away from the origin? Could it be; that everything expanded unevenly? That the universe is an imperfect sphere? In this scenario, we can draw two points, each on an edge of the universe. And yet, they can still be spaced a significantly different distance away from the center. what if we are actually looking past the edge of the cosmos somehow, & don't even know about it? I take this from what we know about explosions: they aren't always perfect. Sometimes they can be imperfect, because something may be in their way. The idea of the universe being made up of time makes perfect sense to me for now, based off of what I've written before (which was based off of previous knowledge). What if the universe is able to fluctuate, like a bubble? Then that would bring various areas closer in, or farther apart. Wouldn't it? And so my curiosity keeps going somewhere. Yet, I don't know where!? Well; perhaps this is the key to us being able to space travel. For we could actually take advantage of these fluctuations, like a surfer takes advantage of a wave! Fluctuations, whether they are gravity waves, or something else entirely...
Whenever a new discovery is made, I always wonder what'll come next. What are those scientists up to?
