Laniakea: Our home supercluster

nanrod says...

Then consider it completely awesome since with the scale and perspective presented there's no way you could differentiate the actual elliptical orbits from perfectly circular orbits. Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus all have an eccentricity of about 5% while Neptune's is less than 1%.

this was awesome until the circular orbits of our solar system at the end ಠ_ಠ

Picking up a Hammer on the Moon

MichaelL says...

So you're saying on Jupiter or any other super-giant planet, we should have no problem walking about, lifting the usual things such as hammers, etc with no problem because the mass is the same as Earth?
Hmm, didn't think gravity worked like that. I always read in text books that on the moon, you should be able to jump higher because gravity was less than earth... but you say no.
Damn scientists always trying to confuse us...
(Pssst... weight and mass are different things. Weight measures gravitational force... the force that you have to overcome to lift something... less gravity = less force to overcome)

As for the conspiracy thing... you do know we already have bases on the dark side of the moon and Mars right? Look up Alternative 3...

Were you not paying attention in physics class the day they explained the difference between mass and weight? As @Payback pointed out the energy required to overcome inertia is the same no matter what the gravity, low gravity simply allows you to "spread the duration" of the force like a fulcrum.

I.e. it would be easier than on earth but you still have to apply enough force to move 2-300kg of mass, you just have the option of doing so less rapidly (making it easier but not easy).

Even if this were not the case your argument still makes no sense. If it was indeed faked then surely they were on wires anyway? How else are you proposing they replicated the effects of low gravity?

The fact your comment got 3 likes is rather depressing. As someone who makes researching conspiracy theories a borderline obsessive hobby I can say with some confidence that the whole faked moon landing thing is about the most debunk-able one ever conceived. It is an insult to the very term "conspiracy theory" and helps give the rest of us a bad name .

Radiation belt? = 7 mins of expertly calculated exposure, there is a 1000ish page NASA manual on how they did this.

Cameras? = they had about 20 DIFFERENT cameras & much like anyone else would the crappy poorly framed or exposed shots weren't used for publicity

Multiple light sources? = The surface of the moon is both highly reflective and uneven. (mythbusters did the shit out of that one)

Most complicated machine ever built? = Actually launched, several times, to the freaking moon and back!

Waving flag? = Funny how every single shot of the flag waving is when someone is holding/touching it eh? (& what kind of retard leaves evidence of wind in the most expensive coverup of all time?)

The Russian space programme? = They just turned a blind eye to their arch rivals lauding it over them? They were in on it? You have to get really paranoid before that one starts to make any sense whatsoever.

etc. etc. etc.

I have a lot of time for conspiracy theories and I'm happy to speculate with the best of them but I've yet to find a single good argument for the landing not happening. I can maybe work with the possibility that some things were omitted/covered up (Monoliths etc.) because this could not be conclusively refuted by empirical facts. Suggesting that it never happened however is so easy to disprove it blows my mind that people still have time for the idea.

For your own sake try looking into the opposing arguments. There are plenty people with PHD's and direct experience who are happy to take you through the counters to all this stuff. And they back it up with actual evidence and experiments rather than conjecture and selective information. Your mind will thank you for it

Baseball-Sized Hail ~ Granbury, Texas May 2013

chingalera says...

In the summer of 85' I was in Hockley Texas and witnessed a hailstorm the likes of which I hope to never see again-Hailstones ranged in size from golf ball to conglomerates larger than a football. All roofs destroyed, all cars hammered silly, craters in the ground that needed to be filled...yer basic wrath of Jupiter-type storm.

Europa Report TRAILER (2013)

dag says...

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

The ice provides the shielding for the sea life which are geothermally warm from the massive tectonic activity from being so close to Jupiter ... Or something.

Haven't these suckers been told that Europa orbits within the massive radiation belts of Jupiter?

If the Moon were replaced with some of our planets

If the Moon were replaced with some of our planets

xxovercastxx says...

My suspicion is that the foreground would need drastic changes for this to be realistic. If Jupiter were a mere 240,000 miles away, I'm pretty sure its gravity would be wrecking shit here on Earth.

Why didn't God protect children?He won't go where not wanted

TheGenk says...

No, no, no, God wasn't there because of that, he was just busy playing hide and seek with his pals Elohim, Allah, Krishna, Zeus, Thor, Hachiman, Shangdi, Odin, Jupiter, Aganju, Make-make, Ra, Arceus, Dirawong, Alban, Nergal, Hades, Oya, R'hllor, Dyausa, Tenjin, Anubis, Freyja, Magec, Huitzilopochtli, Crom, Marduk, Azathoth, Cthulhu, Ranginui, Eru Ilúvatar, Arnapkapfaaluk and The Flying Spagetti Monster... to name a few.
