TV Series that made me question life itself

So a friend lately recommended this awesome series “Cosmos: A space odyssey”

Quite interesting to say the least, it left me wondering, how big is the space 100 billion galaxies are suspended in? Was religion devised to barricade ourselves from thinking outside the norm? With all these vastness, are we really alone? And the realization that The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena.

Our Milkyway Galaxy is only one of the millions in the Virgo Supercluster. “At this scale, every tiny dot is its own galaxy.” But beyond the horizon of our observable universe, scientists believe that there are other parts of the universe that are so far away that there hasn’t been enough time in the 13.8 billion-year history of the universe for their light to have reached ours.

As you ponder on that, I leave you with this famous Carl Sagan, Pale Blue Dot Quote, 1994.

this will make you feel even worse

and keep in mind that the expansion of the universe is ever increasing, expanding faster and faster, which means there is no chance of that light ever reaching us!

Nani alikuambia about 100 billion galaxies? Ziko infinite dude. Kwa milky way ziko 2 trillion pekee, observable

I think you mean stars. Milky way is a galaxy itself not unless you are insinuating that there are sub galaxies withing big galaxies.

Yes we are alone in the universe. Amazingly, out of all the potential spaces out there, we earthlings were chosen and placed here for a special purpose.

we’ve barely explored beyond our own orbit how can you be sure of that …we are most probably not alone …oh and god doesnt exist religion is a sham

And we do not have the technology to explore the cosmos yet though rumour has it that our sun is the gateway to the universe acting like a worm hole.

Also and that eons to come, the sun in our solar system will exhaust all its energy, then KABOOM… Also the expected collision with the Andromeda galaxy… Mind-boggling.

Chosen by who,how,why and were you there to witness the "chosen " ama ni zile vitu unalishwa na pastor?

No

The people who believe (Christians) that the earth and other planets in the universe are only 6000 years old. I find that hard to believe.

So far the best tech: Voyager 1 & 2 , the Spitzer Space Telescope

Well, please show me evidence to the contrary?

Some more depressing videos, You can watch light travel to different places

there will be no collision as such, the space between celestial bodies is soo expansive that they will just pass through each other with no visible collision, just some disturbances in the gravity paths

:oops::oops::oops::rolleyes: holy macaroni Christ! Is this one of your “evangelical” opinions??

Going back to the original thought, it makes you question our perception of time and space (distance). Or minds operate within what we define as the limits. When you factor in what we now know or call the universe and the dimensions that were not known or understood, it becomes necessary to redefine our perception of reality.

Christians should never talk about evidence anywhere. Your entire belief system is not driven by evidence. Historically, scientists have shown so much evidence regarding the working mechanism of the universe. Is it not the bible that says it’s the sun that rotates around the earth? We are still doing a lot research on the universe. But nyinyi have the bible as the source of scientific truth.

Stop changing the topic. I want you to show me clear evidence of extra-terrestrial life. Na sitaki mambo ya ooh sijui molecules or water on X, Y planet. Since you’re so sure about something sans evidence, isn’t that a display of faith?

Now we don’t have evidence to it. But we are still on the course of finding one. We will find one, no matter what time it takes. I know why you feel threatened. If we find one, that discovery will invalidate your claim that we are alone and special.
