I eat a lot of it and never gain weight.
Eat more.

I'm fine, actually. 135lbs is when I would be straying into underweight territory.

19 years old
153lbs
6'3"ft
BF% unknown

Diet:

Usually grocery meats, wholegrain breads, weetabix, eggs, tea, dilutant fruit juice, honey, cheese, milk.

Don't be afraid of cheese. I eat a lot of it and never gain weight.

I hit the gym usually 5 times a week, lower body exercises on Monday, upper body exercises on Tuesday, rest on Wednesday, cardio on Thursday, core exercises on Friday, cardio on Saturday again and rest on Sunday.

This doesn't count the amount of walking I do.

Unfortunately you have gone past the barrier which professionals call, 'The Point of No Return'. You have essentially just thrown your health away.

I was in a situation very similair to you 5 years ago. I was 6 foot 3, and at a healthy 170 pounds. I was offered 3 slices of cake in addition to the one I had just had. As anyone would I immediately grabbed the cake slices and swallowed them in a single gulp. Then several days later I began to feel sick.

I went to my doctors office and he said that this irregular indulgence of food had adversely affected my Water Transcendent Fluid level (or a WTF level as he described it). Within the next week my weight has literally doubled and I cannot even leave my bed.

I must roll to the right to use the bathroom and roll to the left to eat from my food trough. My nurse wears a hazmat suit when she comes to change my trough. I have no friends and my life is now a complete mess.

So yes this will make you fat and I hope you're looking forward to it.

There are more stars in our galaxy than atoms in our universe.

How does that even make sense


As I have said earlier in the thread;

"This might be correct.

It comes down to a question of definition.
A star is plasma held together by its own gravity. The definition has nothing to do with actual matter other than plasma.
You don't need atoms to make a star, just ionized particles.

So by lighting a match on fire, putting it in the microwave, turning the microwave on you are essentially creating trillions of stars per second.

There is more plasma in the universe than atoms. So it could be true."

The Milky Way galaxy is moving rapidly, spinning our sun and all its other stars at around 100 million km per hour.

The largest unit of measurement is the gigaparsec. There is no need for a even larger unit, because the observable universe is 14 gigaparsecs across.
all i can think of when i see the word gigaparsec is this stupid thread


I wonder what would happen if a particle could travel at a one gigaparsec per second, though.

A GRB near Earth would have enough energy to overcome the gravitational binding energy of the planet. The most powerful GRB recorded had an energy output of 8.8 x 1047 joules, while the Earth's gravitational binding energy is 2.5 x 1032 joules.

astronauts grow about two inches taller while in space

because of this, spacesuits are made two inches taller than the wearers height

people over 6ft aren't allowed to be astronauts

If you compared Earth with UY Scuti it wouldn't be visible. If you zoomed in to Earth, UY Scuti would appear flat.

In a few billion years, the universe will expand to the point where everything is so far apart and used up that no stars or well... pretty much anything will be able to form

It'd be eternal darkness

Pretty depressing

Not in a "few billion". We are talking about the upper estimate of 10^10^120 here.

It's been a while since I watched the documentary
The universe will be viable for life as we know it(used loosely) for another couple trillion years.

What?
another element, like methane.
methane is a compound of carbon bruh

oh damn

it's late and I cannot into my periodic table right now

another element, like helium, then

if the universe all this time has actually been a false vacuum, then there's a chance that one day everything would just be destroyed out of nowhere

It's scary to think about. No forewarning or anything, it's just gone instantaneously. And it could happen any time.

It could happen in the next minute. Or the next nanosecond.

What?

Yes, for a few trillion years, before entropy makes life, computation and work impossible.

Not in this solar system, though, since we have under a billion years left before the Sun's expansion makes it impossible for life to exist on Earth.

Also, this is only life as we know it. We are carbon-based life forms. There could be life that is based on another element, like helium.

A magnetar has such a powerful magnetic field that it would suck the iron out of your blood from thousands of miles away

Magnetars magnetic fields are so powerful that they would be visible to the naked eye.

If protons don't decay, all baryonic matter will decay into iron-56 after about 10^1500 years. The black hole era (the point in which the only things in the universe are black holes) would have ended at this point. This would be a small spike of activity in the empty universe, with stars returning in the form of iron stars.

if the universe really is infinite, then somewhere real fucking far away there is an exact replica of you living on an exact replica of earth reading this exact same thread

This is true, as Baconshelf mentioned earlier in the thread, the universe would just.... start repeating itself at some point.

Betelgeuse going supernova one day. That shits supposed to be brighter than the moon for several weeks and will even be visible in the day time. Gonna be so cool. Just imagine seeing it hen it actually happens. Just looking into the sky and seeing this silent space explosion come up out of nowhere.


And the sad thing is we won't be around to see it.
We don't know that. We don't know exactly when it will blow. It could blow sooner or later.

It could have already blown but the light has yet to reach us.
I'm aware of that. I think it's kind of sad that so much has happened in space that we don't even know about because the light hasn't reached us yet.

Take Andromeda for example, we are seeing it as it were 2.5 million years ago.

That face when most of my physical knowledge isn't astronomical but theoretical and applied. Erm. . .

Cosmology counts. Ok I assume most of you have heard of the heat death of the universe, right? Essentially its the "final state" of the universe where it asymptotically acquires perfect equilibrium, no energy gradients nothing can happen. What most folks don't take into account is that thermodynamical law is statistical. Entropy basically being based on the fact that there are more ways(it's more likely) for a system to acquire a "disordered" state than for it to acquire an "orderly" one(order is in quotes because its not really correct but I can't think of a another way to get across what I'm saying).

What this means is that there is a vanishing but nonzero chance for an isolated system in equilibrium, "heat death", to acquire minimal or near minimal entropy, purely by chance. Apparently the reccurrence time for the quantum state of a blackhole the mass of our observable universe is somewhere on the order of 10^10^10^10^13 years. . .

It's prudent to point out that our universe is more likely to quantum tunnel back to a pre-big bang state before this amount of time elapses. It's also prudent to point out that this based on certain assumptions about our universe that may not be supported by later theories.

Heat death is something I'm very interested in. Over those massive time scales improbabilities like the Boltzmann brain could potentially form.
Do you read Sean Carrol's blog? He talks about that a lot. From my understanding the universe is more likely to quantum tunnel back to a pre big bang state long before Boltzmann brains become a major observer probability skewing phenomenon. There's also the fact that know one really knows how an accelerating universe affects conclusions like heat death. I mean can an exponentially expanding system reach perfect equilibrium?

I think the universe will quantum tunnel back into a pre big bang state, as well, after an enormous amount of time.

But it's also possible we are in a false vacuum.

Because at some point, some idiot will end up coming in like LOL UNIVERSE IS 6000 YEARS OLD SCIENCE A SHIT

This has literally nothing to do with what I said. My post has nothing to do with religion. The problem of vacuum energy is a really interesting discussion, and you just disregarded it because you assumed it was theological.

OT: Another interesting fact: Observed from any point in space, the rest of the universe appears to be expanding away from that point. Pic for example:

Spoiler

Everywhere could be considered the center of the universe.

Honestly I don't know a lot (other than common knowledge) about space off the top of my head. I know in Physics we learned things about orbits. I know that astronauts orbiting Earth aren't in a zero gravity environment, instead they are constantly accelerating towards it. There is a belt of satellites in geostationary orbit with the earths equator. And something about the earth, electromagnetism, the sun, and us dying. I wasn't in a Physics class for over a year so things are kind of fuzzy.

I know what you mean.

When the sun emits a solar flare, it's a stream of charged particles. If they collide with or atmosphere, they could ionise it and cause a worldwide EMP. Needless to say, knocking out the planet's electricity would be catastrophic.

Hell, at this point it could cause the collapse of civilization.
