The Milky Way is named after a bit of milk that Hera squirted when feeding baby Heracles.

You can create and destroy matter as long as the amount of matter in the universe doesn't change.

That whole dinosaurs comment really gets me, because in the same way, we look at habitable planets lightyears away with no life... ages ago.

Going by the fact we inherited the word galaxy from the Greek “galaxias kyklos”, “milky circle.”, it would be the goddess Hera's breast milk

The last one is flat wrong. The only light that meaningfully reaches our eyes that is MYO is from the core of the Andromeda Galaxy.

It's much more scary and exciting that we might be the first one that got this far.

Especially since most every alien movie ever is based on the premise that we aren't the first ones, so we're kinda used to the idea.

Japan at least doesn't call it the Milky Way, they call it 天ノ川, ama-no-gawa, "river of heaven".

In Sweden we call it "Vintergatan", meaning "the winter street"

In Finnish, it's "linnunrata" which translates directly to "the bird's orbit", or "the bird's track"

If matter can't be created then what exactly is happening when the Hadron Collider smashes particles together?

8 years ago | Likes 39 Dislikes 6

The list lying to you. Matter can be created and destroyed. It happens in stars all the time.

That one is bullshit. Of course matter can be created, there is no conservation of matter law.

Same thing as when you smash other things together, you get to see what they're made of. Tinier matter & energy.

On a real note: particles are excitations of a potential field. When two are collided their new energy can resonate with underlying 1/2

2/2 fields of other particles. This is what we perceive as different particles coming out of a scattering or decaying event. ie a collision

It's a matter of semantics. Energy turns into matter then the matter turns back to energy, but nothing is created or destroyed inthe process

Ok but there is no way space battles are exciting. They are hours long, ponderous, and boring, or they are over in about 3 seconds.

8 years ago | Likes 78 Dislikes 3

Since space travel between eventual other habitable worlds is physically impossible I doubt any space battles go on

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 2

Well unless they're in the same orbit and you get stuff like in The Expanse.

Our first space battles will be 20 people staring at monitors for 7 hours until everything is decided in 7 min. Scary enough with rovers!

How about "no way battles are exciting"? Because it doesn't fucking matter where you are, war is not fun unless you're playing video games.

If matter can NEVER be created or destroyed, then where did matter originate?

That's a question physics will never be able to answer. The origin of the universe is in the realm of metaphysics/theology.

Energy can be converted to matter, and matter to energy, but neither is created or destroyed in the process.

Simplified: When the universe was born there was only energy. It was simply too hot for matter to be a thing, but as it expanded, 1/?

where did all that energy come from? same law applies about creating/destroying.

The energy was the universe. It was all the Universe was, and would ever be. As for energy not being able to be created and destroyed 1/?

It cooled off. The sub-atomic quantum particles that existed slowly and gradually started to clump together, eventually forming atoms, 2/?

And other forms of matter. Matter is just bound energy, and when those bonds break, matter returns to being energy. So to speak

Not easily. But at the very least, matter + energy are constant, so it still is valid.
