Some serious questions about space

[nuggy]

1 How does the earth revolve around the sun? clockwise or counter-clockwise?
2 Was the Big Bang the birth of the Universe or was it just fathered then?
2a If it was fathered-what will happen when it gives birth?
3 What kind of sex has the Cosmos?
4 Why do I think E=mc2 is completly BS?
5 Why is the temperature in space always 0°K(-273°C), despite there are countless suns and planets which absorb heat into space?
6 Why did I smoke 40 cigarettes today? *cough*

1. Counter-clockwise; the Earth also spins counter-clockwise. This is because of the rotational energy of the Sun's early formative nebula. It's possible, however, for other solar systems to rotate clockwise if their formative nebulae had some sort of strong angular momentum in the other direction early on. (Note: some planets, notably Venus, spin "backwards," e.g. clockwise because early in their formation, something impacted Venus against the "grain" of the nebula, probably another planetoid.)

2. I'm not sure either description is entirely accurate; the Big Bang was produced when two higher-dimensional membranes collided and the energy of the impact condensed (at least partially) onto this membrane, forming the matter we call the "Universe." There could have been Bangs prior to that, and there will almost certainly be more Bangs in the future. So it's neither a beginning nor an end. What "created" this membrane is way beyond our 4-dimensional ability to understand; the Multiverse exists in 11 dimensions which is extremely difficult for the human mind to imagine.

3. Freaky, weird sex. Stuff that would make the craziest S&M fetishist turn green with horror :mrgreen:

4. Because you have taken enough LSD to understand that it's only part of the truth, and that there are many "exceptions"? Dunno 8)

5. Because in a true vacuum, there can be no temperature! Temperature is caused by the vibration of matter. Because by definition a true vacuum is completely free of matter, there's nothing for the heated planets to transmit their vibrational energy to! For example, the same sunlight that heats the surface of the earth to an average of 50 or 60 degrees, takes the surface of the moon (surrounded by an almost perfect vacuum) from nearly Absolute Zero to over 500 degrees Centigrade instantly and then back again as soon as darkness returns. There's nothing for the heat to be transmitted to!

6. Because you're Universe-shopping and have decided you'd like to return this one for a refund as soon as possible? :slap:

Well; they were interesting questions, specially the last one. :mrgreen:

Imagine our solar system. think big; If you watch it from above-okay, the planets rotate counter-clockwise. but if you watch it from below, then they rotate clockwise. that's just logical.

If you are correct then explain me why heat can travel through the vacuum. sunrays for exampe.

Somehow it is the same,...and I believe there is something growing on Jupiter now...

Rays of (infrared) light are radiation, not heat. They only transmit heat by striking solid matter and causing its component molecules to vibrate faster.

In a vaccuum, the light rays have nothing to strike, therefore no heat is produced.

You're right, in a way.

yes. okay, enough talked...lets fly into space, lets meet the vaccuum!

so, okay let's fly this baby:

WOW! This is the best simulator I ever used!...and it's free! :D :D :D

I think I'm busy now for the next hours... :mrgreen: :D :D

Before you can experience the wonder of spaceflight, you must first learn about the environment and technology that you will encounter on your journey.

Space Adventures provides training for both orbital and suborbital spaceflight. These programs combine medical screenings with accurate and realistic simulations, delivering experiences paramount to the real thing.

Through our partners, we use state-of-the-art technology to simulate every aspect of your mission. With our panel of expert advisors we are committed to preparing you for every situation that may arise.

This is not space camp. These programs are demanding and challenging. In some cases you will be training alongside professional astronauts and cosmonauts.

If you have the desire, the motivation and passion, we invite to proceed to training now.
