Default Earth no Special Place

That kind of makes humankind humble. There was a spacetime we only knew
about when the planets,and Sun,and earth was the biggest rock planet.
Now we have a bigger picture.,and the Sun is just one star amongst the
many billions that make up the Milky Way.Galaxy,and to add to that there
are more galaxies than stars in our Milky Way. Reality is this moves
earth even farther away from any point of significance. Should
life out there find or planet ,and be millions of years in advance(like
Darla) they might never bother to come back. Humankind could be no more
special than a dust mite TreBert

Yes, here here...

And is it not said, that we are made of Dust as well?

Of course, it's star dust, from a medium sized star, which is abundant
in our Galaxy.

Peace and Love.

But according to QM those multitudinous galaxies only exist in the form
they do because we are observing them! So you see, we are still the
center of everything!

What is the wavelength of a galaxy, oh great pontificator?


with the mass estimate of 12e40 kg
the compton wavelength is 18e-83 metres

Double-A never read that QM saying our observing stuff makes it what it
is. sounds more like the "Antropic Principle" TreBert

And here I though you knew something about QM, "Man's best theory!" as
you call it.

Haven't you heard of the "collapse of the wave function"? That's the
moment when observing makes Schrödinger's cat to be either dead or
alive, or so they say.

The "Antropic Principle" means that the universe we are observing must
have conditions that fall in a range that allows human life to exist,
othewise we could not be here observing it.

Amazing -- finally someone who can insert real numbers into a simple
equation shows up. Now if the profoud elite earth space
pseudoscientists only had a clue about what the implications of this
result are.



Ah come on, Art, you don't have the foggiest idea about the
implications of what he just said!

Yes, but "he" thinks he does and that someone really gives a "Ratz ass" what
he says! That's the funny part!

Double-A more to the Anthropic Principle than what you pointed out.
Like would the moon really be there if humankind did not observe it.
Don't like Schrodinger's cat imaginary experiment,because the cat is in
the macro world,and relativity rules. I like Bohr and Heisenberg's
Copenhagen as much more savvy,for their claim is to speak of the
position,or momentum of a particle is best interpreted at the spacetime
the particle interacts with the apparatus that has been set up to
determine what one quantity is or the other was. Reality is the
apparatus itself can make for lots of "probabilities"(effect the
particle) go figure Well Bohr told us this "The objects of the
quantum world do not have the objective reality that we would ascribe to
macroscopic objects." (Einstien must of hated hearing that) oh ya Best
to remember Bohr added this "There is no quantum world" There is only an
abstract quantum description" This is when TreBert hated hearing this.
