Not really. I tend to get blown away by the fact that the universe even exists.

i get that occassionally too...kinda forget who i am for a minute or two and feel like im floating above myself or something...from talking to other people tho i dont think its all that normal

I always do this lol... When you think so deeply and actually try to realise how massive the universe is... it's WEIRD. Not just about how big the universe is either :)

Yes that is quite normal. That happens to me all the time. You sound like someone I'd hang out with. That thought concept is very interesting, because we will never know where the universe ends or if it ends.

I've also have thought about the vastness of the universe, but have not actually "drifted away" into it as you have. I believe in God and am also a scientist and have pondered about the age-old question: is there other forms of life out on another planet or another part of the universe. I have envisioned God as a scientist who has created life in various parts of the universe, including here on earth, and that we on earth our one (of many) of His experiments... its a weird concept I'm sure.

boardem thats what it is some people get so board they think of shit that only baffles you instead of the things that make you laugh but i do sometimes star at the stars what ever and when ure brain slides into a deeper section and looks at every thing on a different level of life,it can make you feel more inteligent because your questioning things that carnt be answerd leaving you to think what you think not some jacked up scientists giving you all the fact.

if you think about it.the earth is way smaller than the sun. i kinda feel like the sun when i think about the earth. i think about the man trying to take all of the earth. then i get outtta that trance and i wake up. i see my self sleep ing class.

I love this subject because someone always brings religion into it and I will always refuse to believe that the vastness of everything is created by one person etc. so then you wonder what it was. why what when where.

listen to the galaxy song by monty python if you are in that particular thinking mood again.

i have thought about life and why it is so perfect how we have everything to survive and how the universe never ends it is normal to question it XxX

I think you need some pussy

what if C - A - T really spelled dog?

For all the people that know and hate me im moving

so ill be inactive for a week

so no flame posts for a week

here are my thoughs on this subject... a few things

one, how did the universe ever even come to exist? and if there was a "big bang" what caused it and how can so much material come through one tiny spot, if the universe is ever-expanding, then whats beyond the edge where it hasnt expanded to yet?

if there is a god, who put HIM in charge and who was before him? (I dont take the answer, "He was always there and always has been") because somebody had to make him and put him in power

also, studies said that if you take an empty vacuum in space and run electricity though it, minescuel orginisms (single celled) start to form, how is this possible? and if so what caused the electricity that made the organisms?

I also think that people who say we are alone in the universe are f*cking ratarded, just from this image

we can see thousands of GALAXYS and constelations, each galaxy contains millions of STARS which hundreds of PLANETS revolve around, you really think that earth is the ONLY habbitable planet out there? And aliens dont have to look scary or fearsome or angry things that want to kill us all, for all we know there could be people JUST LIKE US and, its not to hard to realise why aliens would want to destroy us, we are destructive and wastefull, they would have to spend trillions of tons of neuclear weponry to destroy us all and that would be inacceptable to their needs (unless they have hundreds of planets to draw thoes resourses from)

HOLY CRAP I WAS THINKING ABOUT THAT JUST A SECOND AGO!
Like, where is the end of the universe, and what is after that? It gave me a headache :P

oompa loompa

yes, to be frank, i have had experiences like that

Yep it like OhMiiGawsh.. Theres like us on a little tidgy planet inside a giant galaxy floating.. I still want a nintendo wii tho lol.

God leave that material to the nerds and let us normal folk worry about what to do when someone posts another story full of bullshit like this one again.

Yea, its completely normal, i think about it sometime when im under stress, to think like wtf am i worrying about this or that so much, as someday, meteor can come down and fuck us up. then the sentence aftet that, i think to myself, pfft, wtf am i thinking of this, just live my life and have fun

@Phantasma

I love that photo you posted.

But i would like to correct that each galaxy contains billions of solar systems, not millions.
Our galaxy for instance, is called the Milky Way and contains some 100 billion solar systems.
Our galaxy is a large one, the average out there is only several tens of billions of solar systems.
And the number of galaxies out there is incomprehensible, like that photo shows.
It covers an infinitesimally small part of the night sky, but yet there are all those galaxies just there.
And even this is ignoring all material that is not shining extremely brightly.

"also, studies said that if you take an empty vacuum in space and run electricity though it, minescuel orginisms (single celled) start to form, how is this possible? and if so what caused the electricity that made the organisms?"

How on earth are organisms to form when its only vacuum that its being run through?
There have been many studies when electricity was run through a medium of carbon, oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen, and quickly amino acids formed. A precursor to life but not life.

It is absolutely impossible to run electricity through nothing and get living things.
Living things take mass from the outside world and make it a part of them.
They don't make mass out of vacuum.
