I love watching the first minute of Contact.
At the risk of sounding cliché, and whether astronomically accurate or not, it still makes me feel terribly small.

(For those that don't know it, it's a gradual zoom out from earth, through the solar system, galaxy and beyond.)

hmm...

well, I dunno. I find it strange other astronomers aren't concerned though

[MrTrik]

Yeah, I get that. But someone has to be first.

This response reminds me of Artistotle or Galileo or whover the hell saying the world wasn't flat.....People called BS on him too I bet [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

The concept of eternity says there is no end, no?

I don't get why it's hard to wrap your noodle around the fact that something is never ending [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]


Also, that picture definitely makes me think there has to be life somewhere...
