Stoned Minded, again.

[BagseedSamurai]

So here I am, again. Blazed and thinking those "higher thoughts" and I wonder about the sense that everything seems to make, and the non-sense that seems to walk hand in hand with it.

The other night I had an out-of-mind experience that reminded me of a frame of thought I use to have about the universe, ourselves and everything around us. Generally the thought went like a microcosm leading to a macrocosm. As far down as we humans can really see, are electrons protons and neutrons whizzing past each other at unsurmountable speeds, the smallest particles we can prove exist. They revolve so fast around a core that they make this shield of energy. Well, bring that out a bit. About, mm..x1,000,000,000ish? You have planets, revolving on their own axis, the nearest gravitational pull strong enough to hold them. Our star. That great HPS in the sky. Pull that out even further, and you may have theory, but it makes sense. Solar systems move as well, stars move, and it all seems to be revolving. So whats at the center of THAT gravity?

I mean, how big could that go?

Not only that, but how small?

What if we exist as simply multi-cellular or even multi-atom beings when there are things out there comprised of entire universes?

Or vice verse. What if we are comprised of stars?

Biologists say that everything that gives us the energy to survive began as sunlight. Are we really made of stars?



Sorry folks, Im stoned and thinkin.

ps. yesterday was my birthday. I was given this as a last minute gift.

Happy belated birthday

But they say we are originally made of star dust

interesting ideas, but too much to write a response about, I am not that high yet

 

[NOKUY]

"bagseed" ....every cell of everything contains its own universe

....we are just a universe on one of those cells....ya dig?

 

[BagseedSamurai]

Happy belated birthday

Merci.

ya dig?

Oh, I dig.

Sometimes I wonder if we are the healthy biology, or a cancer.

 

[panopticist]

Powers of Ten and all that jazz...
You could say that the natural world is a lot like a fractal, with the same forms and structures being repeated at smaller and smaller scales. Pretty cool huh?

Happy late birthday. Take another bongrip as my gift to you...

The link between all that is and all that could be is definite and strong, however infinite.

Funny you mention that since they have just successfully filmed electrons traveling around a nucleus of protons.

You would also be surprised at how much dead space is between a proton and its electron. The following webpage manages to quantify it somewhat using a hydrogen atom. The actual distance from the blue proton showing and the electron scrolled to the right [ if your monitor is set at 72dpi ] is about 11 miles

So we are a whole lot bigger than we think we are? Wait, that doesnt make any sense at all! How can we be several hundred billion miles wide? Were made of the stuff, right?

Whoa..my head hurts.

Heres another fun webpage that shows the sun to scale and space the planets their respective distances from the sun. This webpage boasts its size at over a half mile [ even though the one above is 11 miles.]

NO......were smaller than we think we are, but @ the same time you don't know the size of infinity

That aint the biggest webpage out there though.

This one prolly covers it.

Q: How BIG is this page?

A: This page is 9 quadrillion pixels wide by 9 quadrillion pixels tall. Thus it contains a large number of pixels:
8,100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

otherwise known as 8.1 nonillion. In scientific notation, that's 8.1x10^30, hereafter shown in the form 8.1e30.


This means that the repeating background image has 5.4e28 stars on it-- about as many as there would be if our universe was multiplied to a million times it's current observable size.

Futhermore, at 77 pixels to the inch, this page takes up 3.4e18 square miles and is 1.844 billion miles on a side-- an area roughly equivalent to a section of the plane of our Solar System with the sun at the center and the orbit of Saturn on the outside edge (a square 22 AU on a side). That's about 17 billion times the surface area of the Earth.

Test it for yourself. Using the arrow keys to scroll, see if you can move the scroll button even one pixel. On second thought, don't-- especially if you're the doggedly persistent type. To do so will take about seven times longer than your natural lifespan. This method causes you to "move" across the plane of this page at the equivalent of a toddler's walking pace-- around 0.5 mph. At this rate, it would take you half a million years to cross from one end to the other.

As you may know, it is enormously quicker to use the mouse and click on the empty part of the scroll bar and then hold down the mouse button. Using this method, you would be able to cross in about 100 minutes. Doing so causes you to move at about Warp 1.5-- a virtual velocity of over 1.5 times the speed of light (ignoring relativistic effects). If you try it, you'll see that the background starfield appears to be going by at no more than ten miles an hour. In actuality, the glimpses you are seeing of the starfield are tens of thousands of miles apart. Enormous expanses are being skipped over completely.

Ok now what would you use to photo that shizz?


Why a 160 megapixel digital camera. [ yes the zero after the 16 is NOT a typo ]

What could possibly top that?

If it isnt cheeseburger in a can I dont know what.

[Guest]

You blew my mind thanks, I am a god to my blood cells they pray for me to take another toke. LOL peace

 

[NOKUY]

we smoke weeeeeed...lol ...aiight

 

[TNTBudSticker]

Thats why I like the Pot Hi.

I think Better on POT.

 

[inverse]

i've been thinking the same things lately. I think like...if the universe and beyond expands up into infinity, and we are on one plane of reality in that infinity, than the universe also expands downwards into infinity as well. I just think that at our level in infinity we can only comprehend and document a small realm...from atoms (or whatever the smallest particles we know are) to galaxies...but in reality like you were saying there are galaxies in atoms. it's really mind boggling................like getting super high and starring into the night sky

 

[HerbGlaze]

I was thinking after taking a few tokes of some really frostie lookin bud..
that stuff that is diffrenent but are the same because therefore..
If two objects are complete opposites water and fire there different but there the same because they are different they share that in common so there the same or I guess you could call those similiar.. its so hard to explain we all think differently when we are blazed.

I love stoned thoughts
