    Why it takes so long for the sun to burn out?

    I'm having difficulty to comprehend the burning sun or any other star. The age of Sun is 4.603 billion years, this sound like hell a lot of time for flammable fluid to burn out, for instance if you set gasoline to fire it will burn out very quickly, how is that for the sun it takes billions of...

    Question BIG BANG EVIDENCE

    I didn't read all, it's way too much for my taste because I prefer short premises, but I do agree that BB theory is impossible to true. It does however give some insights. Infinitely dense mass is an absurdity, and finite universe is also illogical.

    TIME

    This is very interesting, because in philosophical world there is spear breaking around "what is time?", I recommend anyone interested to study McTaggart's definition of time, ex: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Unreality_of_Time In any case I find it difficult to imagine anything without...

    Documentaries about alien life on YT

    I found some good documentaries talking about alien life, that is, possibilities to find one. It's split into 3 parts (110 min total), very interesting to watch, definitely recommending: Part 1: Part 2: Part 3:

    Is it possible to find new elements in the universe?

    I must admit I didn't know that the number associated with an element is "the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom" So I guess then discovery of new materials or substances is more likely and with greater potential than a single element?

    Is it possible to find new elements in the universe?

    There are 118 elements in the periodic table of elements. Is it possible to find new elements in the universe? Do you think discovery of new elements could help to achieve significant scientific progress, ex. development of technology which is currently sci-fi such as inter-solar space travel...

    Question Will there be deep space travel in the next half century

    One early possibility may be a combination of teleportation, simulation or nanotech. We may not be able to physically travel to remote worlds, but we may be able to send information used to reconstruct virtual bodies, something like 3D printing on destination planet. We are always on a path...

    Question Will there be deep space travel in the next half century

    Don't be so pessimistic. It's well known our imagination is a victim of intellect, but not conversely. Intelligent species exist for some 200 000 year on Earth, but somehow the letter was discovered only 5000 years ago. why not before? Because nobody ever consider imagination as very important...

    Question Will there be deep space travel in the next half century

    Interstellar travel (outside solar system) will not be possible for at least 3000 years. You should take into account that every technology that we discover takes centuries to improve, for example: 1. Car manufacturing and improvement took centuries and we still don't drive electric cars and...

    What do you think is the best Planet/Moon for human colonization?

    By colonizing it's usually meant to set up permanent research base and similar, not to populate entry planet with people, populating the planet would take centuries. There are valid reasons why: 1. Environmental catastrophe on earth 2. Asteroid threatening to hit earth 3. Temperature rise etc...

    What exactly is nothing?

    Mathematically or in theory yes, it can, but in practice it may be possible sometime in the future with additional research and materials. As for nothing, it's so simple concept, but impossible to create in a lab.
