How do you see it?

I'm really fascinated sometimes what you can see in the night sky and when you consider how small and tiny we are unbelievable


I also like to watch documentaries about the universe and recently it was explained how we see its past when looking at an object in the sky, e.g. a star

For example, let's say we see a bright star that is light years away, say 10 years, then what we see there is the image from 10 years ago, which means that even if the star implodes now, we would only see this in 10 years' time (not considering other effects from a purely optical point of view)

I think it's awesome to think that we have these seemingly infinite expanses or the black holes, what happens when you land somewhere else and where are the aliens, it's presumptuous to believe that you are alone in this gigantic universe

These are all things I could spend days thinking about

Although they would probably be so far advanced that the question would no longer arise. It all seems very unreal. Also how the universe expands. Is it expanding openly outwards or is there a kind of circle? Which also has no end and is therefore infinite. If there were then repetitions ... and bang! you're in parallel universes. I once had contact with a Spanish astrophysicist. He wrote in an email that the astrophysicists of the future would inevitably have to become smarter and smarter, or that this would be a prerequisite, because otherwise the findings would no longer be comprehensible and science would be stuck.

The Fermi paradox is also interesting. There used to be a forum where you could have a great conversation about such topics.


You probably remember the P.M. magazine. A long time ago there was something about the theory of the mirror universe. It is assumed that the stars we see only reflect each other. Like when you put several mirrors opposite each other. The theory was about the universe being much smaller than assumed.

I was about 13 years old and at that time there was only one house phone (and that was already modern). I then picked up the phone and called the telephone number of P.M. magazine directly. I actually ended up directly in the editorial department and they put me through to the author of the article. I then philosophized with him about the Spiegel universe and asked him countless questions.
Something like that would be unthinkable today, but back then there were no emails, smartphones or stuff like that and I think I was probably the exception in calling them.

And it doesn't really fit the topic at hand, but do any of you remember the Nintendo hotline? You could call there if you had questions about any games and it was always the same guy who answered. Haha, I was so annoyed with him back then. I called him every 5 minutes and asked him how to progress in game XY. He was always friendly, but would always ask if I wanted to try it myself first before calling him. I think he was really happy when I finally played through the game.
