Space and the wonders of the universe

Facts from science.

Right now, in this very moment, we are all traveling through space — and space is only some 62 miles from the surface of our planet. Earth revolves around the sun at around 66,000 miles per hour. That’s pretty quick, but it pales in comparison to the speed of the sun, which orbits the Milky Way in one galactic year (about 225 million Earth years) at about 483,000 miles per hour. Still not fast enough? Well, the Milky Way itself is traveling at an astounding 1.3 million miles per hour.

We are all, therefore, traveling through space at an incredible speed, with everything we know and love held in place by gravity. Space and the wider universe, however, largely remain a mystery. Only in recent decades have we even begun to venture beyond our own atmosphere, beginning in 1961 when cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first human in space.


Since then, space exploration has progressed rapidly, and humanity becoming a space-faring civilization — at least to other planets in our solar system — is now a real possibility. As Carl Sagan said in the 1980s, “We have lingered long enough on the shores of the cosmic ocean. We are ready at last to set sail for the stars.”

The concept is mind-boggling and majestic, intimidating and inspiring. It’s no surprise, then, that space has long been the subject of much wonder and speculation in the minds of people from all walks of life. Here are some quotes on the majesty of space, from philosophers, scientists, science fiction writers, astronauts, and beyond. astounding 1.3 million miles per hour.

THE MEANING OF LIFE

What should be the most important question ever asked is, What is the meaning of life?
Why are we here? Who put us here? What put us here? Is there any plan for our existence? What is the point of all the species of creatures that have existed on our planet. From Dinosaurs to modern day humans. Why the predatory nature of animals. The savagery. The wars between people. The billions of stars and planets that exist but are uninhabitable.
You could say that the whole universe is a kind of chaos. Are we an experiment put here to see how we cope?
I know that I think a great deal about this dilemma we are in, but can see no real sensible logical reason why this whole existence came to be.
Wouldn't it have been better not to have started this world and no one would ever have experienced the drama that has unfolded since it's beginning? Or is there a serious plan behind the whole conception?

Edison...

Depending on the source, it's said Thomas Edison invented the incandescent light bulb and had upwards of 10,000 failed experiments prior to success.
From what I've read, Edison was in a race for time as several European inventors were also doing similar experiments and that incandescent lighting was already in existence.

What he did, is come up with a patent on a commercially successful bulb with a viable filament.

Scientists Have Observed Epigenetic Memories Being Passed Down For 14 Generations

SIGNE DEAN27 APRIL 2018

"The most important set of genetic instructions we all get comes from our DNA, passed down through generations. But the environment we live in can make genetic changes, too.

Last year, researchers discovered that these kinds of environmental genetic changes can be passed down for a whopping 14 generations in an animal – the largest span ever observed in a creature, in this case being a dynasty of C. elegans nematodes (roundworms).


To study how long the environment can leave a mark on genetic expression, a team led by scientists from the European Molecular Biology Organisation (EMBO) in Spain took genetically engineered nematode worms that carry a transgene for a fluorescent protein. When activated, this gene made the worms glow under ultraviolet light.

Then, they switched things up for the nematodes by changing the temperature of their containers. When the team kept nematodes at 20° Celsius (68° F), they measured low activity of the transgene - which meant the worms hardly glowed at all.

But by moving the worms to a warmer climate of 25° C (77° F), they suddenly lit up like little wormy Christmas trees, which meant the fluorescence gene had become much more active.

Their tropical vacation didn't last long, however. The worms were moved back to cooler temperatures to see what would happen to the activity of the fluorescence gene.

Surprisingly, they continued to glow brightly, suggesting they were retaining an 'environmental memory' of the warmer climate – and that the transgene was still highly active.

Furthermore, that memory was passed onto their offspring for seven brightly-glowing generations, none of whom had experienced the warmer temperatures. The baby worms inherited this epigenetic change through both eggs and sperm."

APOPHIS THE ASTEROID

A huge asteroid is expected to fly by earth on Friday 13th April 2029. It will get as close as 19000 miles from earth. It is 340 meters long and last visited earth briefly on 19 June 2004. if this object ever collided with this planet it would be a doomsday scenario.
Future plans are to put craft on asteroids to mine their valuable metals such as gold, silver, zinc, copper. If this could be achieved on the asteroid belt, this would of course be so valuable. Hopefully, the appropriate technology to nudge asteroids away from collision with earth will have been tested.

The Great Flood & Noah's Ark

200+ Ancient Accounts Tell Of The Deluge - Geological Formations Indicate The World Has undergone huge scale hydrological events.

There've been several reports down the millennia of the physical remains of Noah's Ark.

Do the Ancient Texts record an actual, Literal Flood Event from Humanity's dim past?
Do the Geological Formations support the Ancient Accounts of a Great Flood?

Was the Deluge a Local Flood? Or did it cover the Entire Planet?

Physical, Geological Evidence of a Worldwide Deluge -

VIRUSES AND MANKIND

On 27 August 1918, there were a number of cases in Bombay, India, of a particular virus. On the same day in Boston, USA, there were similar cases reported. The virus was Spanish flu and the effect of that pandemic was to kill over 25 million people.
How did this virus begin at opposite sides of the earth at the same time. The only form of travel was by boat and the journey by anyone would have taken a long time. The virus developed within 24 hours.
Astro biologists state that meteors and comets contain microorganisms, and that these microbes are able to survive in virtually any temperatures especially cold or even freezing. It is thought that meteor showers delivered this virus. But why select two opposite sides of this planet? And at the same time.? Was this by accident, or deliberate interference by extra terrestrial beings. Was the introduction of this virus to test the human races resistance to such disease and prepare them for the future, or to reduce the population?
75 000 years ago, beings on this planet underwent a sudden mysterious change in mental capacity. They began to write, draw and record their experiences. Some people believe that the continuous bombardment of this planet by meteors etc may have been a method of introducing viruses to affect the DNA structure and consequently gradually change the development of humans.
