    Question What's your most anticipated celestial event or upcoming space launch?

    I’m definitely interested in space launches to the Moon, not so much Mars. People are so fiercely ready to get to Mars, that they forget how far mars is away from earth. If we can set up a base , or bases, on the moon , well then we can then launch from the moon to mars? Wouldn’t that be more...

    Hi guys/gals (-: Do you guys think we will ever solve the theory of everything?

    “there is nothing in biology yet found that indicates the inevitability of death. This suggests to me that it is not at all inevitable, and that it is only a matter of time before the biologists discover what it is that is causing us the trouble” - Feynman People are worlking on reversing the...

    Hi guys/gals (-: Do you guys think we will ever solve the theory of everything?

    Quantum chaos, heh, yeah, from what I read from popular physics books the answer seems to be....not anytime soon. Its just astronomical to solve something like that right now. Still I’m optimistic, I hope they find a way to reverse the aging process so I can be there when do solve it, or when...

    Hi guys/gals (-: Do you guys think we will ever solve the theory of everything?

    Hey! Good to see you all again. Last time I was here you guys gave me a great understanding of gravity. Thanks you all for that. My next question is do you think we will ever solve the Theory of Everything, what I mean is to know everything about the universe in a small mathematical equation ...

    I know very little of space, but I am in awe of it and love it. Why does earth have gravity?

    Lol, yeah it does seem that way. Like they are just trying to impress their friends and colleagues into thinking they are smarter then they really are, and they go around with their diplomas saying “ Look at me I know everything, seriously everything , even things outside of my chosen field .”...

    I know very little of space, but I am in awe of it and love it. Why does earth have gravity?

    Lastly, I just wanted to thank everyone else for helping me get a better grasp on gravity and “gravity wells”which is a new term for me. I just bought Einstein’s ‘Special and General Relativity’ book. It’s probably free but I wanted a hardcover copy of this bad boy. I started reading it and so...

    I know very little of space, but I am in awe of it and love it. Why does earth have gravity?

    Interesting. Now taking what you just said into account we can say that earth has a gravity well and the curve is just a 3D representation. Ok, but what I fail to grasp, hard to put into words sorry, is why earth falls into a gravity well at all, what I called a curve, are you saying that there...

    Thanks Wolfshadw and rod. I’m still a bit confused on another matter, sorry fellas, bare with me, lol. Total noob here, but I love to learn so I’m here. Anyway if you take a look at that picture of the earth and the sun in that link you gave me “rod”,do you see the gravity of the earth and the...

    Hello, This forum is an absolutely great place to learn about space, physics, mathematics, etc., etc I should start here because my questions are way too simple for the main forum were the super smart adults hang out. I heard planet is like a rocket shooting threw space in one direction at the...

    SpaceX Launch Day Thread

    This is my first post. I’m a total, total, total noob, but I mean who doesn’t like space right? You aren’t human if the wonders of the universe don’t tug at your heartstrings a lot. So I signed up here to get some space questions answered by you geniuses. Anyway when I saw SpaceX and NASA...
