This thread peeps. This thread.

A few thoughts:

- You are totally allowed to change your mind if somebody presents a convincing argument.
- The courageous thing to do is admit that you are wrong if you are proven so, instead of changing the nature of the argument
- Sagan is totally the man. Alpha and Omega.

Sagan (in turn inspired by those before him) begat Cox, Tyson, Nye, Harris et al.

Yeah ok, but Sagan wouldn't have been around to inspire those types without our creator, God Almighty.

I more an Amun-Ra man, myself.

I don't actually support Zeus for the record, I was being facetious.

I was born a Gozer worshipper and will die a Gozer worshipper.

The rest of you should prepare for the arrival of the traveller, Gozer the Gozerarian.

Now look, I'm not saying that my night will be superior to yours because I'm going to the Queens of the Stone Age / Nine Inch Nails double header...

...but I am strongly implying it.

That was soooo last week.
 
The hypocrisy of some people never ceases to amaze me.

Played our cricket semifinal on the weekend. We lose the toss and get sent in only needing a draw to go through. After being 5/65 we make 465 all out amidst cries from the other team of not making a game of it....... week before the same team thats complaining bats for 518 runs against another side with nothing on the line.

In other news I will be severely drunk on Sunday avo/night after our GF and if i happen to stroll onto BF for whatever reason I apologise in advance for anything that may be said. Unless its comedic gold, in which case I totally know what I was doing. :thumbsu:

I am a bit concerned about the collision with the Andromeda galaxy in 7 billion years from now but if Lewy turns out to be a good swap for Yeo I will feel a bit better about it.

Do think you need to be too concerned about the Milky-Way/Andromeda merge. Our sun will go nova and incinerate the earth before then. :thumbsu::footy:

Pfft our sun's too small to go nova. It'll be entering its death throes and have grown to a size such that the Earth would be inside its outer layer in about five billion years but the Andromeda collision is predicted in four billion years, so you could be on Earth and get to see it.

...Of course the current estimate for the heat from the expanding sun killing all life on Earth is only 2.8 billion years, so there's that.

Yeah bad choice of words on my account, but yeah, a lot of people use the "final death of the sun" estimate as a proxy for the end of life on Earth, not realising that the death throes of the sun will go for hundreds of millions of years (and perhaps over a billion years) and that those early death throes will be enough to turn the earth into an apocalyptic wasteland.

As an aside, NDT seemed to assert in Cosmos last week that the overwhelming majority of stars (and presumably "worlds") in the two galaxies will survive Andromeda/Milky Way merge event completely unscathed. Interesting and perhaps not surprising considering the vast distances between the stars. You'd have to think there would be some weird gravity distortions, if not collisions.

EDIT: Sure will be pretty though.

Haven't got a chance to watch Cosmos but I'd imagine that even though collisions will be rare, some poor stars will also likely be flung off into intergalaxy space because of the interactions. Poor buggers. :(

Yeah, there are billions of other rogue stars floating outside the graviational pull of a parent galaxy. A few more wont hurt. ;)
