Voyager 1 finally leaves the solar system[views:4758][posts:13]______________________________________ [Sep 14,2013 1:39am - the_reverend ""] http://edition.cnn.com/2013/09/13/opinion/...ger-spacecraft/index.html?hpt=hp_c1 not even a light year... how pathetic. |
| __________________________________________ [Sep 14,2013 5:57am - longdeadgod_nli ""] I'm interested in this sort of stuff, but it always cracks me up when scientists think they can put an age on or estimate the size of the universe. Universe is 13 billion years old? My ass, based off a sampling of observations of one teeny tiny spot by people with sampling devices that can't reach anything significant. |
| ______________________________________ [Sep 14,2013 9:01am - the_reverend ""] I like the "what will it find" the answer is nothing. Voyager is more likely to win the lottery 6 times now than ever hit anything |

| _______________________________________ [Sep 14,2013 10:34am - the_reverend ""] Oort Cloud is still hypothetical |
| _________________________________ [Sep 14,2013 11:12am - Burnsy ""] Ya face is hypothetical. |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 14,2013 12:59pm - MotleyGrue ""] Voyager has that obscure Carl Sagan gold disc with it. |
| _________________________________________ [Sep 15,2013 6:35am - conservationist ""] The only thing humanity's going to do now is convince aliens to nuke the site from orbit. "Look, a planet riddled with neurosis and instability. Should we put them out of their misery?" |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 15,2013 11:42am - MotleyGrue ""] I'm willing to bet some fucking BEER on this, but I bet we can kick the ass of half of the different species out there in the universe. I am not talking about weapons either, I am talking about getting a fist in your fucking face and a boot up their alien ass. |

| ______________________________ [Sep 16,2013 9:14am - ark ""] wonder if it will ever reach the gamma quadrant. |

If the universe is infinite in terms of it's size, why can't it be infinite in terms of the length of time in which it has existed? |
