The dedicated Science/Space thread!

Seeing as we don't have one...
First things first then, what do you know about Space?

I don't know THAT much but I'm really interested in general science and space as a topic so let this begin.

Boats, planes and trains in space?

Well, techically have planes I guess.

This was supposed to be in the lounge though.

Really good article in the Times yesterday re the universe, especially Kepler 22B.

Good idea you have there - send it over to the powers that be and see what they say.

I prefer discovery news for my geeky stuff in the morning.
Was reading this http://news.discovery.com/space/mars-life-habitabi...

Usually some good reads get thrown up on there daily.

Is this a place to post geeky facts/theory?

Yes it is sir.
Or if you're not Brian Cox (which I'm not) just read what everyone else puts.

"Space," it says, "is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mindbogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space, listen..."

It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination

I'd like to know what everything looked like before the universe was created.
Can't even begin to imagine anything at all.

Sounds like you've got it right. Unknowable is as good as it gets for "before" the big bang.

Annoying isn't it.
I find it frustrating that we know so little.

We know more than we did only a short while ago. We are only really beginning the quest.
