    Imagine some 1000 light-years away a species could see our nebula and think: "Wow, that looks kinda cool". It's really wholesome to think about that, that someone / something thinks about us as a kind of beautiful thing in the sky somewhere.

      In German, fog is called nebel. Could be related to that...
      Not sure if it comes from Latin or Germanic though.

      Its Latin for cloud.
      They used to think galaxies were these clouds too until fairly recently in 1925.
      So they are 'Messier objects' which was Messier's definition of cloudy or clustery stuff that wasn't stars in 18th century.

      I knew about the Ionized particles outside the Sun's Magnetosphere, just never put 2 + 2 together to = a nebula. But that's cause I follow the Voyager Probes stuff and one (I believe it's actually Voyager 2) had sent data back basically saying it met a wall of plasma (Ionized Gas) on the extreme edges of the Magnetosphere of the Sun. It wasn't on RUclips though. But a documentary on Netflix or Amazon Prime. Can't recall which.)
      But I loved how he told us it's from being in an Emission Nebula. Never knew that.

      The dwelling on other life out there is a waste of time frankly.
      Its nice to believe but so was santa when we were 6.
      When people say space is infinite it bewilders me that they also think that they know that as fact. We dont even understand whats at the center of the earth.
      We need to focus on important things like living a fantastic life because its very very brief.
      Less dwelling on what we cannot answer and what we can rationally assume.
      More making life easier for eachother in thus cramped place and expanding our minds rather than chasing imposabilities.

      Agnosticism is the best way to look at answers we cant possibly solve.

      Aliens are demonic beings. Don't be fooled! And so many accounts of almost alien abductions, if you hadn't looked into it, of saying the name Jesus, they leave. If anyone hasn't been saved now is the accepted time. Jesus died on the cross for our sins. He died was buried and on third day rose from the dead 1 Corinthians 15:1-4. He shed His blood for the remission of all your sins. Once you accept Christ as savior you will never lose your salvation. Once you believe you are sealed with the holy spirit of promise. Look at Ephesians 1:13-14. I hope this helps someone who is confused on how to be saved. ABC's of salvation. Admit your a sinner. Believe in what Christ did for you. He died, was buried, and on third day rose from the dead. 1 Corinthians 15:1-4. He shed his blood to pay your sin debt. Call upon the name of the Lord. Believe and trust.

      Well yes but actually NO. According to your own lore, even though God made everything perfect, Adam and Eve with their big OOPS introduced imperfection into the world. Every asymmetry, every typo, every impurity in a diamond, every fly in a soup... traces back to that. So, NO, at our present time, we cannot AND SHOULD NOT be able to tell there was ever perfection. Instead we can only take your word for it. Again, this is according to YOUR story, not mine. I am amazed how often perfection or fine tuning is mentioned while forgetting the fall and its implications. OH BUT WAIT: Puny little Adam didn't actually HAVE such power of cosmic destruction. God had to curse the world himself. It says so right there in Genesis. Yes, built it perfect only to curse and ruin it right in episode 1. Go ahead and try to square that circle. It can't be done.

      Don't talk of entropy as if it's another word for decay. (It isn't).
      Don''t say "...we would already be..." as if somebody already did the math. (No such math exists.)
      I feel one issue is being ignored. I will say it even more plainly:
      Open Genesis 3. Nobody other than God has the power to introduce decay on a cosmic level. NOBODY. Regardless of who we blame (Adam, Satan, or some abstract force of sin) THE ACT OF CURSING humans along with wildlife, all (all!) future generations and EVEN THE INANIMATE GROUND ITSELF (Genesis 3:17)... rather than correcting wrongdoers alone... is clearly:
      1. ...a tantrum rather than the work of a wise architect, ironically half-smashing your own creation like a kid angry at Lego bricks...
      2. ...then later wishing/instructing the poor half-smashed creation to find its way back to wholeness...or die/be tortured forever...
      3. ...which is an INFINITE punishment for a FINITE wrongdoing - something CLEARLY morally imperfect (to put it mildly!)
      Makes no difference to me, since I treat the whole thing as the enjoyable fiction it is. Some plot holes are to be expected : ) The question is rhetorical. No amount of logical or moral acrobatics ("apologetics") can produce a good answer BECAUSE THERE ISN'T ONE. However, feel free to try. ASK YOUR PASTOR. ASK YOUR PASTOR'S THEOLOGY PROFESSOR. Go research your faith.
      (From your PoV, I am probably Satan or one of his human agents. Have fun dissecting these ideas, but in the end you have a duty as a good Christian to dismiss them as wrong before you go to bed. They must be wrong somehow - nothing but temptation, an attempt to confuse you into disbelieving. Like I said, go research your faith.)

      Something have no mass is irrelevant when designating something as a particle (as long as you can contribute certain physical properties to it i.e. spin, charge, 0 mass is still a property). A good example is the photon, which behaves as both a particle and a waveform, but is massless (as far as we have been able to measure its mass)

    • @Dragrath1
      @Dragrath1 4 года назад

      It is an interesting question though it might be a good idea to look at the context of what the Tarantula Nebula actually is namely a young Super Star Cluster a star formation region so massive and with such extreme star formation that it is not only called a starburst region but the stars mutual gravity will lead them to forming a spherical distribution of stars rather than drifting apart what is known as a globular cluster. Such objects preferentially formed in the Early universe when a lot of stuff was around to make them but can still occur today when galaxies interact such as the Tarantula nebula's host galaxy the Large Magellanic Cloud which prior to its encounter with the Milky Way begin a few billion years ago was a fairly massive dwarf barred spiral galaxy actually fairly comparable in mass to the Triangulum galaxy.
      Such a nebula would be an awesome sight but could potentially be dangerous should one of its stars die via a gamma ray burst.
      Technically given the region's extreme size if its center were placed at the Orion nebula's distance we would be deep within the nebula though I think the scenario in question is based off the position of their outer boundaries.
      Now I think it might be in such a case the nebulae would probably serve a similar role in mythology as is normally reserved for the Sun, Moon and planets though with the distinction of being so far away it would have very different behavior like that of the background stars. I wonder if that might be significant enough to prevent such a culture from developing a geocentric worldview?

      There's the *hypothetical* idea that over stellar distances they might obscure sensors, but over stellar distances you're going to be harder to detect than an extrasolar asteroid, so it's kind of moot lol. If you're far enough away that the nebula would "obscure" you in our traditional conception of the idea, then... Uh... I don't think you need to worry about being hidden.
      Now you could probably hide in comet dust or similar matter, I'd think? But asteroids themselves are also so crazy far apart that you'd never have any chance to do so unless something nuts happened in that system.
      I guess to be fair, we don't exactly have much intel on the asteroids of other stars, so maybe there are some stars out there with quite dense fields of small asteroids or dust clouds from effectively crushed space rocks, but I feel like there's probably a scientific rebuttal to that idea that I'm just not aware of lol.

      @@Starfloofle Perhaps a proto-planetary disk might be dense and rocky enough to hide a space ship. But I wouldn't want to try hiding in it.

    Could anyone answer this?: Does the frequency of heavier metals that we see in our solar system indicate that we are in a nebula as well? I know nebulas are often the result of supernovae and heavy metals are as well, so I've always wondered how they could've dispersed into our solar system if we aren't in such a nebula or weren't at one time. Thank you to anyone who can tell me this!

      The video basically says we're in a nebula-like structure and will theoretically leave it in about 20,000 years based off the way the solar system is moving through it.

      A number of atoms stuck together. Much smaller than the dust specks you see floating in a room. Only visible if you're looking through light years of them.

    There is a God who created the universe! He is all-powerful, Almighty and his name is Jesus Christ! He loves you, would you accept him in your heart today as your Lord and Savior! When we die we either go to heaven or he'll, the decision is ours. We can have God's forgiveness and go to heaven. Jesus created you and is waiting with arms wide open to welcome you into his love, and light. Jesus is the only way, truth and life!

      Actually there is an award-winning book that details how these drawings were made by Herschel and others in the 19th century. It is called Observing by Hand: Sketching the Nebulae in the Nineteenth Century (University of Chicago Press, 2013) by O. W. Nasim.
