Muttnik!

I watch The Universe whenever that is on.

Quantum entanglement is interesting, but sounds very similar to the Butterfly Effect... I may need to read further into it...

thanks for pointing me in that direction... something to look at....

I first started getting into space and time after reading Kurt Vonnugut's Time Quake ...


Ohh... Wait.... Bump...

Entanglement is nothing like the Butterfly Effect. That this mistake can be made is testament to the overwhelming saturation of that silly phrase in the lexicon of pop culture.

like the all seeing eye... simply amazing

I got an email from my brother's grandma-in-Law that contained that same picture. It was one of those chain-letter spam emails that had gone through about 500 forwards before arriving at my inbox.

It was titled, "Amazing new discovery dubbed by scientists the 'God's Eye Nebula'" and went on to state that the discovery of this astronomical body is evidence that God wants to make his presence known to us in these trying times.

It's not a new discovery, it was discovered in 1824. Those nutty Christians and their "evidence."

yea i agree that Christians will just use this saying that god did something for us to recongnize him or something but if it isnt god its hard to think of what it really is..

there's a theory, forget what it's called, but it says our brains are fixated on eyes and faces. art history kind of proves it. looking up at the clouds on a clear day kind of proves it. we perceive eyes as symbolic, so yeah there is some connection to it on a spiritual level but there's no need to drag god into it.

I agree, it's nothing more than how our brains process information. This a common nebula type known as a "planetary nebula." Not to turn this into a religious discussion, but why would god create this evidence and then put it 650 light years from Earth?

Butterfly Effect is some cock and balls movie reference? I've tried to remove the knowledge of this movie from my brain, so it must star some hack actress like Fathead Jolie or a cock-tapper like her husband.
