    I seem to have run out of documentaries to watch...
    Space is big!
    Thinking from a non-religous point of view... some how energy must be able to be created, or else nothing could exist.
    Maybe time is energy (lol... not really... maybe...) and something timy wimy happened that created energy... somehow... maybe

    Not necessarily. Think of vacuum energy. It condenses from nothing, but can only exist if it cancels out again. Maybe the universe is like that.

    Those are little "Time portals". They appear as particles smaller then protons, and exist everywhere, even in a vacuum.
    They link to another time, and could possibly be manipulated to be widened, however that would result in a paradox.
    And yes, they appear and disappear constantly.

    doesnt spacecraft slow down when they head away from the star? because the star pulls everything towards it but planets have stable orbits.

    Saw something interesting on Wikipedia:
    In 2007 V. N. Tsytovich and colleagues proposed that life-like behaviors could be exhibited by dust particles suspended in a plasma, under conditions that might exist in space. Computer models showed that when the dust became charged the particles could self-organize into microscopic helical structures capable of replicating themselves, interacting with other neighboring structures, and evolving into more stable forms. Similar forms of life were described in Fred Hoyle's classic novel The Black Cloud.

    That's widely known as gravity.

    I was actually talking about the particle-antiparticle pairs that form and annihilate within a Planck time, keeping the total energy of the system at 0. My theory was that due to the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, a state with nothing in it cannot exist. This means that dimensions probably came into existence spontaneously, and will eventually return to a zero energy state for an infinitesimal amount of time before inverting, keeping the net energy at 0. This theory also limits the number of possible universes to an even number, and allows the existence of hypervacuum (inverted space-time).

    i just took a picture of currently the Solar System's most distant object.

    Eris and Dysnomia.

    im also disappointed that Obama cancelled the Constellation Program.
