Plenty of scientists won't be surprised at all. Roger Penrose, Nobel Prize winning physicist and mathematician, has calculated the odds of the initial conditions of the universe occurring randomly, at the moment of the Big Bang, at 1 in 10^10^123. Them's long odds, long enough to suggest that when Roger meets God, his first thought will be, "Ah, that explains everything!"
To the power of, yeah. So that's 10 million with 123 noughts after it. Contemporary theoretical physics involves a lot of numbers. ****ing big numbers sometimes, but also very precise values at times. Big enough and fine tuned enough to blow your mind, and make you think everything about the universe and our presence in it is miraculous.
unless you’re an athiest because you can’t see it with your own eyes therefore it not happening therefore it not real Their little brains can’t comprehend them speeds and the fact that we dont fall over dizzy so defo lies

ISS astronauts on eight-day mission may be stuck until 2025, Nasa says Two astronauts who left Earth in June remain at International Space Station after issues with Boeing’s Starliner capsule https://www.theguardian.com/science...delay-international-space-station-boeing-nasa Two US astronauts who blasted into space for an eight-day mission in June may be stuck on the International Space Station until next year if their Boeing Starliner cannot be repaired for them to return home, Nasa has said. Nasa officials on Wednesday said astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, who became the first crew to fly Boeing’s Starliner capsule, could return on SpaceX’s Crew Dragon in February 2025 if Starliner is still deemed unsafe to return to Earth. The US space agency has been discussing potential plans with SpaceX to leave two seats empty on an upcoming Crew Dragon launch, which itself was delayed by a month on Tuesday, as Nasa and Boeing work out how to bring the astronauts home.
Just read that on BBC. They are older me (I'm 57) so it will be interesting to see how they cope physically and mentally.
Launch of the first privately funded spacewalk mission so far going to plan... please log in to view this image
Our galaxy will collide with Andromeda in about 4.5 billion years time. Gravity at this point has the upper hand over the expansion of the universe, as confirmed by the blue-shifting of light (redshift occurs when wavelengths expand, which they do when galaxies are moving away from each other; blueshift occurs when wavelengths are compacted, which happens as galaxies come closer together). This balance between gravity, and the dark energy causing the expansion of space, is what causes stars and galaxies to form in the first place. It’s unlikely that any stars from either galaxy will collide, so vast are is the space between them.
Humanity will be better off if Musk does the first privately funded space walk ... without a spacesuit...
