      Thanks for the video. I have always wondered. Astronomers say that the universe is 13.8 billion years old. They say this because of the cosmic inflation they see amongst other things. My question is, shouldn't they say that it is AT LEAST 13.8 billion years old? We really can't make true calculations without being able to see the edge of the universe. Or is everyone saying it is at least 13.8 and I haven't been paying attention?

      So when we see the light and the galaxy is older and further by the time we see it, why is it we still see it at the observing time and after? If in fact it has moved away and is also older and the light has to travel now a longer distance to reach are eyes. I think the observing of distant light is wrong because the light as you see it does not go away, you don't stop seeing it even if it has traveled further away do to expansion of the universe. Either that or the theory of expansion in the universe is wrong. MP

      The sheer size and ferocity of the Flat Earth Pheonom is taking many folks, including this chap apparently, by surprise. Of course its just another round in the never-ending Young Earth Creationist battleground, but since its Biblical basis is even more tenuous than the Oct. 5, 8 o'clock in the morning in 4004 B.C. earth and possibly universe insanity, it takes a correspondingly greater amount of willful ignorance and tinfoil hattery to believe in - but we shouldn't be TOO surprised: we live in an "unpresidented" age where someone who claims to believe global warming is a conspiracy invented by the Chinese, can become one of the most powerful nutjobs in the world.

    • @asperg8735

      According to astrologers, we might not even experience a collision with anything from Andromeda since the amount of empty space is greater than the space that something as small as a planet takes up. It could still interfere with our solar system though if anything gets close enough to throw us off corse and we fly out of this solar system or towards the sun. If another solar system or star or even a gas giant came close enough, it wouldn't even have to touch our solar system to throw the earth out of orbit. It's still extremly sensitive, dispite the amount of empty space vs the space taken up by planets. Don't worry too much though. Our galaxies won't collide for a very long time.

    • @Ahavameanslove24
      @Ahavameanslove24 5 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      That’s very likely. Considering how gigantic our universe is, anything is possible.

    • @asperg8735
      @asperg8735 5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I think it could be much worse when a stray solar system or even a black hole from Andromeda hit our galaxy if both galaxies are spinning in opposing directions. If both galaxies are spinning in the same direction and a black hole gets near this system, we're gonna have to find a way to stay connected to our sun while also staying in the habitable zone because the faster a "close call" flies by us, the harder it will yank on our system. If both galaxies were spinning in the same direction, the chance of collision would probably be higher but the tug gravity has on us won't have a lot of kick. We still would be in probably more danger though because if two stars or solar systems stay too close for too long, the chances of bumping into each other is pretty much 100% unless one galaxy is going much faster than other but it would have to be going probably twice the speed or more and it still can't come too close. The closer it one comes to our system, the faster it will have to pass us by but even when headed in the same direction as us, it both systems would yank on each other too hard.

Same applies to other cosmic objects way out there in the universe. Let's say light from a distant star takes 100 mil years to reach Earth. That light is 100 mil years old and we are seeing stuff that happened 100 mil years ago.
