My kind of Saturday night Smarties #LoveAstronomy Burst of Energy 4 Billion Light Years Away May Indicate Advanced Life. Some scientists say the phenomenon could be the ideal way for aliens to communicate over vast distances. https://themindunleashed.com/2019/06/energy-4-billion-light-years-advanced-life.html (à Paris, France) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzTuwzZCxsr/?igshid=illgo9tuc1hm

Perdido em algum local entre a imensidão e a eternidade, está o nosso diminuto lar planetário... #cosmos #loveastronomy #carlsagan

let me take you back ~13.5 billion years ago

there was a point just after the big bang where no known laws of physics existed or applied .It was very very very hot but gradually the goop began to cool and particles could begin to interact with each other, Atoms formed and obviously the most common bonds were hydrogen and helium. As these atoms joined together they gained mass and thus gravity. This force attracted even more atoms together and the first stars were born. Now we all know that a star is just really a very large fusion reactor. Atoms bond together with the release of MASSIVE amounts of energy, however many stars formed to be very large indeed. These stars rapidly became unstable and had a short lifespan, exploding into massive supernovas that spread metals and non-metals throughout the universe. 

and then guess what happened?

These rogue elements began to collate under the fundamental forces.   Gradually planets and rocks and comets and asteroids began to form, all surrounding a star. Give it a couple of billion years and our sun was born, then the planets and the asteroid fields and the Oort cloud surrounding our system A young Earth likely collided with a Venus size planet and the collision gave Earth a ring just like Saturn and Uranus. The ring eventually formed into the moon. The first life on earth likely came from asteroids raining on the Earth.   The surface was molten rock and nearly inhospitable but the Earth began to cool and bacteria thrived

Then mr. first cellular life came around and fucked up everything and pumped a whole lot of oxygen into the methane rich atmosphere. Now this was not good for any other life forms and they mostly died which was pretty sad, but these new life forms that could harness the sun's energy directly thrived and ruled the roost. Then one day one cell ate one of these cells or something and the plant's ancestor came into being. yada yada yada plants lead to more oxygen, multi-celluar life forms and then us which all leads to this conversation. All from star stuff man it's not pretty it's beautiful we are made of star stuff
