Let's see a bunch of rocket scientists are nerds. Yeah checks out.

I'm always confused by people being surprised that NASA personnel are nerds; this is LITERAL rocket science and Sci-Fi combined.

The reason this picture is so great is because that first guy explained the obvious to me so I'd understand, and then the rest made jokes.

NASA basically is a collection of people who want Star Wars to be a thing so they take matters into their own hands.

And no matter what they tell the public, they'll be disappointed if the aliens don't resemble those from Star Wars or Star Trek.

Kjell Lindgren prob sounds exotic to you non-swedes, but that's what I would call a grumpy middle-aged neighbor if i ever wrote a novel.....

I am a non-Swede, I agree with you. That may or may not have something to do with the fact that I'm Norwegian

I wonder if we can start a fight over which should be called a "real" vacuum

9 years ago | Likes 70 Dislikes 1

Worry not, for quantum field theory allows for negative densities or sub-vacuums to exist. That sure makes things easier.

I came looking for you and I found you. Also, the vacuum of space was here first. It gets to be the vacuum by which all others are judged.

I think both are very real, in the sense that they box exist(Solipsism aside). But if you mean the first one to exist, then space it is.
