    Hi, Mr Popo here with another topic XD

    As you probably know, our solar system is not just floating in space but also traveling in it going to some destination.
    But the universe is not infinite and when our galaxy reaches its destination, it will probably be the end, the so called apocalypse.

    And that is it, just a thought that I wanted the share XD

    If the solar system is moving (first time I hear of it, tho) like a player moving up the levels, then the universe too is expanding like a game adding DLC packs. :blobpeek:

    Unless we're revolving around something. Like, the earth is revolving around the sun which is revolving around the galaxy. Who's to say the galaxy isn't revolving around something either? So maybe we might not reach the end ever. But humans will probably be long extinct, the sun would've exploded, etc before that comes about.

    Didn't they say Earth would reach the sun and burn up first? :blobjoy:

    I like how you're implying the solar system will last that long. Anyways, even if it did the Milky Way is predicted to be on a collision course towards some other galaxy, in like a few billion years or so.

    Space is vast so the sun would probably explode before even reaching the end , if there is even any

    I believe this is false? The Galaxy is moving because the universe is ever expanding. Eventually, no star will be visible from any other star whatsoever. I believe our solar system will long be dead before that happens, though.

    Moon is revolving around the Earth, the Earth is revolving around the Sun in the center of our Solar System, the Solar System is revolving around the Quasar in the center of our Milky Way galaxy, the Milky Way seems to be revolving around the center of the Universe(not yet confirmed)
    Thus came the terms: Lunar month, Solar year, Cosmic year

    About "existential crisis": every journey has it's dangers, and we are traveling on a cosmic level

    Unless I can cultivate to at least jindan, matters that far ahead in time don't actually concern me

    I mean considering climate change will do us all in in about 15 years we’re a little far away from worrying about the collapse of the solar system, no?

    Too far away to care about that.
    But yeah, hearing that our solar system is slowly inching towards a supermassive black hole is quite scary.

    You know current understanding is that our star (the sun) orbits a cluster of super stars and black holes at the centre of our galaxy (the milky way). At present it is not known that the milky way orbits anything, although it has a couple known small galaxies orbiting it, however there are some hypotheses that the milky way could possibly orbit dense clusters of larger galaxies but is only hypothetical at the moment.

    I like how you interpreted that but yes our entire galaxy is moving be it the sun, earth, moon, etc... everything is moving somewhere while keeping their orbit (kind of) XD
    Ever expanding towards a limit you mean, you can look it up if you want but here is a short video if you want to not waste time, but yeah the age of the solar system is also something to consider XD

    Actually, the earth is moving away from the sun about some few centimeters each year, so, we are moving out of orbit too :blobsweat_2:
    Cool XD
    That is also true, yeah :blobsweat_2: XD

    I thought the universe was ever expanding...but hmm there are two theories of it being infinite or finite thu...

    Don't particularly like sourcing video channels that are the type to list this-is-interesting facts kind. Some of them don't really fact check, just list whatever "facts" they heard and some of it may be inaccurate.

    Yes I think about the world collapsing sometimes. But it ain't that far into the universe ending. We won't even be alive then. Heck I remembered something in hs where teach told us while earth is orbiting the sun, we cross a certain path every some million years that makes us more vulnerable to asteroids hit. Last major one hit 65-66 million years ago. Teach told us we were sorta due for another major hit. Hello dinos.

    Before we even reach to the ends of universe thu, we're more likely gonna have to deal with the sun dying out (its midage atm) and leaves catastrophe with no more sunlight to grow crops and many other living things depending on sunlight.

    But the most scary stuff aint even all that either. The most scary stuff is humans. Tensions can lead to war, and humans have always perfected making more bigger, better, deadlier weapons...Humans are more likely to end themselves than something on a universe-level descending on us. Like major world wars type. Long before aliens from space come and take over, we're probably wiped ourselves out with all the fighting among us. The biggest fear is it to happen during your time; no one wants to be the last ones living before we all boom each other. Just pray and hope it doesn't happen in our timeline and neither for centuries to come. And that eventually we find ourselves more at peace with each other, in good way.

    There is a big bang, so there is a beginning, by declaring that alone, the argument of the universe's infinity is disproved but let me give you something better then, since I am not sure of the video's source myself, I liked the experiment in the video tho XD
    Here is a good infographic, tell me what you think about it (this is the image just in case it doesn't load or something)
    Another, thing that might help XD
