Cosmography of the Local Universe

The video zooms into our local area of the Universe — our Milky Way galaxy lies in a supercluster of 100,000 galaxies — and then slowly draws back to show the cosmography of the Universe out to 300 million light years.

I don't understand 10% of this but found it fascinating.

does that mean you understand the other 90%?

Let me get my calculator.........

Yep, checks out...

correct

Neat video, maybe a bit drawn out. Why the hell are't we zipping around space?! I wanna explore some of this shit... maybe I should sign up for that Mars One project.

I just hope to live long enough to see the Singularity occur. Then I'll have enough patience to wait for space tech to advance enough to have my own space ship.

Don't hold your breath. Not to say that it won't happen... it's an interesting thought. I'm less optimistic about it than I was 5 years ago. You should spend your energy worrying about how to destroy (by which I mean kill) the oppressors of this planet than waiting for some computer revolution to save you.

The catch is that we don't know what will happen if it occurs. The post-singularity world might not need any of us.

You guys, don't crush my dream.

Nice Unisaw.
There is no way we can comprehend the magnitude of this place

[losCHUNK]

There's a big hoover in space

[seremtan]

yeah, space sucks

[ToxicBug]

Amazing video BTW, wow!

[Whiskey 7]

Yes, that Great Attractor is a worry

[losCHUNK]

All bow before the great Attractor.

I'm guessing that's the super massive black hole that's theorised ?, pretty epic

edit: no, that wasn't in our galaxy so it will be much bigger. Like a super massive big ass black hole

Probably just a bunch of black holes that have smashed together into a giant one that will proceed to eviscerate the universe over the course of the next 20 billion years.
