Nah....
That was the Chorizo burrito with a side of refried beans I had the night before from one of the local taco shops.

I'm sure these scientists are full of it.
Light travels 5.88 trillion miles in a year.
We know something hit us from 2.4 Billion of those away?
Light from the sun takes 8 minutes and 20 seconds, and it is only 93 million miles.
At rhe speed of light, it would take 13 billion years to go 1 billion light years.
So we got hit by something roughly 30 billion years ago.
You misread it and your math is wrong . A light year is how far light travels … in a year .
" At rhe speed of light, it would take 13 billion years to go 1 billion light years."
This is incorrect.
Why say someone is incorrect without posting a correction?
I know my maths has gotten rusty over the years, but those Nasa kooks came up with the same as me.
Did you actually click on the link? You probably should…..
I built two very good faraday boxes about a year ago, one for me and one for my son. Backups of all our digital stuff is kept in them just in case.
I'm surprised nobody has typed out the massive mistake ol' Petro put up yet. I guess I'll tackle this in the morning when I have more energy.
What if
The light hit a black hole then after a year it hit three more Black holes in succession.
Then another dozen black holes every year after.
How long would that take
The photon that told you this, in your dream, was wrong. Besides, you know you can’t trust photons. They’ve been known to be in 2 places at once.
And the photon doesnt ‘experience’ time passing …to the photon itself , time does not exist … reality is pretty fucking strange when you really look at the fundamental stuff … 🤷🏻♂️🍿
You’re opening up Pandora’s Box! By that I mean, we think certain things are a constant; or, that we “know” certain things…or understand them “completely”, don’t we?
I think our relationship to reality based in our current understanding of time and space is in for a few more surprises.
But, what if I‘m wrong?
I think you are referring to the fine tuning problem ? There has been movement in the science community to rethinking the cosmological constants . Maybe they aren’t so constant … for instance if the speed of light changed over time , there would be no need to add the mystery of inflation and dark energy to our models to make them work .
Maybe dark matter isn’t really ‘invisible’ matter , but is just us not understanding how gravity works on the really large scales . We know we don’t have all the information of how gravity works on the smallest scale , so maybe Einstein only gave us part of the rules of gravity .
It’s all fascinating to me .
Yup. What’s “going on” on the other side or “end” of a black hole…how and why light warps and why…we can see it. We sorta think we know why. But, until we have a full grasp of gravity?
As a very young kid, I was asking questions that got me thrown into some discussions that I felt were way beyond me. One of the brightest in the room told me to quit thinking that way; because, even the assumed “smartest people in the room” don’t really know what they think they know. He reminded the room that as they were still solving the standard model, they were continuously reminded that there’s so much that they don’t know.
That’s something that pops up in my mind a lot, lately.
"At rhe speed of light, it would take 13 billion years to go 1 billion light years"
Huh?
