The stars could kick our ass if they want to. We must therefore make a premptive strike and destroy all stars.

does anyone understand how they use light shifts and what-not to measure size and distance of stars? or to "see" stars/planets that you can't actually see

light shifts only show distance from the earth, because the universe is expanding planets further away are moving at greater velocities

ok, so if one pixel = canis majoris and canis majoris = 8 light hours of diameter then 1 light year = 1095 pixels

if you then use the 1 pixel = 1 light year then the NGC 4414 galaxy would be 18615000 pixels in diameter.

if you could somehow print this image you would need a 3x3 mile long piece of paper

if Canis Majoris = 1 pixel then a lightyear would have a diameter of 3245 pixels

if a lightyear = one pixel, then the NGC 4414 galaxy would be 55454 pixels in diameter.

WHY THE FUCK HASNT SOMEONE MADE THE XBAWX VERSION THIS IS FUCKING 4CHAN FOR CHRIST'S SAKE!

in all honesty most of the stars we see are soo far away that they've by now exploded, gone supernova, or become black holes...
it's just that the distance is many lightyears off, and the speed of light can only accommadate for so much...
for example:
if we could see a planet a lightyear away,
[they must be big and bright, or we have good telescopes]
we're really seeing the image of it a year in the past.

So theres some shit thats far away, big deal, most americans never leave america and most of you never leave your bedroom.

THE SUN IS A MASS OF INCANDESCENT GAS,
A GIGANTIC NUCLEAR FURNACE
WHERE HYDROGEN IS BUILT INTO HELIUM
AT A TEMPERATURE OF MILLIONS OF DEGREES

THE SUN IS HOT, THE SUN IS NOT
A PLACE WHERE WE COULD LIVE
BUT HERE ON EARTH, THERE'D BE NO LIFE
WITHOUT THE LIGHTS IT GIVES

WE NEED ITS LIGHT, WE NEEDS IT HEAT
THE SUN LIGHT THAT WE SEE
THE SUN LIGHT COMES FROM OUR OWN SUN'S
ATOMIC ENERGY

THE SUN IS HOT
THE SUN IS NOT
THE SUN IS FAR AWAY
BUT EVEN WHEN ITS OUT OF LIFE
THE SUN SHINES NIGHT AND DAY

this is why nihilism wins

Ah, Nihilism. The belief that communication and everything is worthless. Ultimate pessimism.

The only thing Nihilism was ever good for was providing an idea for the name 'Nihilanth', which I think was an awesome name and a fitting title for the final boss of Half-Life.

fucking awesome o_o

Nihilists can't win, they don't believe in victory. Nihilism is the will to nothingness, which is shorthand for being a boring faggot. It's not even a philosophy.
