I am no educated in Physics or Astronomy but I have a deep passion and curiosity about the cosmos. I hate to read (which is bad) but most any reading i ever do is realtion to the universe, spac/time, the cosmos in general. I do watch most all realted programs and documentries on such things.
One of my favorites is carl sagan's 13 episode award winning mini series "Cosmos" which (as old as it now is) is still amazingly imformative and ouitstanding. It really brings it all to layman terms as best as possible. I actually first had the VHS versions and then bought the DVD's coincidently almost on the day he passed away.
The entire cosmos of why, what, how, when, where for everything is just overwhelming. Beyond comprehension for even the most inteligent minds.
From how atoms are created in stars to the distances and sizes of whats around us. To how complex and overwhelming everything is to how tiny our world truely is. Even in my latset avatar when the Cassini spacecraft turned back from behind Saturn and just happen to catch a faint dot, a mear pixel in the frame that turns out is our home. Yes, all the golf that ever was played or ever discussed all took place there.LOL...
Whats amazing is that you can head so far out into the universe that our entire galaxy (over 100,000 light years across) would not only look as small as the Earth does in that picture but it can actualy disapear from view all together.
A million Earths fit into our sun and yet there are stars that our sun would look like just a pixel on the screne if it were floating next to them.
I can go on about a million different things and head off into a million directions but you get the picture. I find it all so very fascinating and awesomely inspiring. Its curiosity that never ever bores me. I can wacth such programs like th "cosmos" over and over and never get tired of it.
Anyone else cought up in the addicting curiosity and interests in this subject? Find it all so fascinating? perhaps some of you are very well educated in this area which is extremel hard to truely understand at any level. Even if good understanding of it, it is still awesome and mind blowing for sure. I mean that in agood way.
