Stop bitching about it here and just go be pessimistic in your own corner.

None of this has any importance whatsoever. I don't understand why it's such a big deal.

These slightly higher-res pics of deep space wont benefit us in any way. It wont improve our current quality of life, it wont expedite the process of first contact/discovery, and its obvious at this point that humanity wont travel deep into space.

But hey, the pretty colorful nebulas and galaxies look slightly better.

Found the guy whose mother made him eat cold Weetabix every morning before school.

I'm sure the telescope is doing other shit we don't know about yet. These are just the first solid benefits of it launching. And they wanted to show it off. It will do more than just take pretty pictures

Try being more optimistic.

It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for an optimistic thought to enter the kingdom of Cron.

Jfc what a pessimistic post. Was your dad wearing a NASA shirt when he went to go get that last pack of smokes or what?

CRON posted...
Have you not lived on this planet for the past few decades? What is there to be optimistic about?

I used to be obsessed with things like space and UFOs and just stopped caring as I got older.

People have been claiming that the world was about to end for thousands of years. There is no point in giving up on attempting scientific advancement or finding joy in life just because "this time the world will actually end."

And like, even if nothing ever comes of human aspirations beyond Earth, it's still a worthy endeavor. If everything is seen only through the lens of immediate utilitarianism that's a pretty bleak existence.

Imagine being such a pathetic loser that you have to go and shit on other people's joy/excitement because you can't stand to see anyone happier than you.

Do everyone a favor and just fuck off.

The new images from today are fucking absolutely amazing. Can't wait for more stuff to come in the coming years.

Steffenfield posted...
Could someone explain to me why the released image isn't completely shining white?

I thought if one were to look deep enough into space, in any direction, there would be near an infinite amount of stars at various depths and distances, fully covering the entire spectrum of observation.

Just curious why that picture doesn't completely light up.
That would only happen if the universe was static and not expanding. So as Sariana said, in an expanding universe, some will eventually show up and some have moved beyond the threshold.

Right now, we can see 2 trillion galaxies in the observable universe and eventually, another 2.7 trillion would come into view for a total of 4.7 trillion. Who knows how much larger the rest of the universe is beyond that. The current estimates are insane.

No need to be pessimistic about space exploration.

But people who think faster than light speed is possible and that it's a discovery just waiting to be found and implemented are absolutely delusional.

"50 years ago people thought the earth was shaped like a pineapple penis and look how far we've come!"

Yeah shitdick, overcoming the universal speed limit incoded into the physics of the universe itself is not the same as developing new technologies. Mass Effect is not reality. That Star War show with Spock and Kirk isn't either.

I'm glad we have someone like CRON here. It reminds me that no matter how miserable a day one might have, there's still always CRON to laugh at.

Ever studied quantum mechanics? Weird shit. Our laws of physics break down at the quantum level, and we really dont understand the universe very well at all.
