Space: the final frontier...and all that good stuff. It has always amazed me how vast space is and for has much as we can see it is only a very small amount of what is actually out there. Here is a pretty cool map of what we can see...

Awesome post. The magnitude of the universe is absolutely staggering when distances are put into context like this. For reference, 1 AU is just shy of 93 million miles, or about 8m 20s at light speed. 1 light year is 5.88 trillion miles, and 1 parsec is 3.26 light years. According to this map, Voyager 1 is over 1000x the distance from Earth as the Sun is, and that is about as far as humans have reached. For all intents and purposes, the universe is infinite from the human perspective.

Need to power up that logarithmic engine…
The Second Amendment ACKNOWLEDGES our right to own and bear arms that are in common use that can be used for lawful purposes. The arms can be restricted ONLY if subject to historical analogue from the founding era or is dangerous (unsafe) AND unusual.
It's that simple.

Something I dont understand, of which there is an infinite amount of:
"Among the scientific community, it’s widely believed that so far humans have only discovered about 5% of the universe."
How can you know how much youve discovered...if you dont know how much is out there?
If they think theyve discovered 5%..then wouldnt they then know the size of the universe?
Tell me what Im missing here.
The obedient always think of themselves as virtuous rather than the cowards they really are.

So 5% of infinity is…… 7
Yet it is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succor of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till.
