Everything is connected, because it's all being created by this one consciousness. And we are tiny reflections of the mind that is creating the universe.

I use records for that and don't have to justify it to my friends.

very cool, very cool indeed. (unless, of course, there is an inhabited planet there that is presently being destroyed killing billions of aliens at once)

It happens.
Hopefully they had enough warning to put their brightest progeny into an Ion-Pulse Hyperdriven capsule and launched him towards a bluish planet orbiting a yellow sun that will give him strength beyond those who live there. And hopefully, when he arrives, he's raised by and elderly intellectual couple rather than some backasswards Kansas farmers.

NatGeo's COSMOS:A SPACETIME ODYSSEY series starts tomorrow night.

http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/channel/cosmos-a-spacetime-odyssey/

"Hosted by renowned astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, COSMOS will explore how we discovered the laws of nature and found our coordinates in space and time. It will bring to life never-before-told stories of the heroic quest for knowledge and transport viewers to new worlds and across the universe for a vision of the cosmos on the grandest scale. COSMOS will invent new modes of scientific storytelling to reveal the grandeur of the universe and re-invent celebrated elements of the legendary original series, including the Cosmic Calendar and the Ship of the Imagination. The most profound scientific concepts will be presented with stunning clarity, uniting skepticism and wonder, and weaving rigorous science with the emotional and spiritual into a transcendent experience."

Dysfunction and itemized lists of people's failures are where it's at.

Mr. Natural

I've been thinking about what happens to time once the speed of light is achieved.
Since the BigBang sent all the matter in the universe flying out at least the speed of light, and the Cosmic Inflation happened at "many times the speed of light," then what does that account for, in respect to time? The bubbles, sure, but I feel there could be something more there.

Regarding the recent big physics breakthrough, here's a video of one of the authors of the theory (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrei_Linde) getting told the news.  Probably doesn't come much more satisfying than that having your life's work come to fruition like that.

This show is everything you ever wished for in a space documentary. Amazing visuals. It's on every Sunday on Fox at 9pm or you can stream them here: http://www.cosmosontv.com/ . Next week is when they start to get into the really trippy/Einstein type stuff.
