Upvoting because I've never seen this
but also I am now sad
But what's the frame of reference?
The black hole in the centre of the universe.
Where's the center ?
Ps: i know the answer.. this was a joke
Probably where the big bang was, aka the one point all galaxies are getting away from.
I believe the current theory is that the big bang happened everywhere equally, like a stretch, so there is no specific spot we can point to where it happened.
I wonder if Fido knows how to handle that in his calculations.
I was expecting to see a trail of ghosts left behind as the earth moves away.
There is the Great Ghost Cluster in the distant void, passing messages up and down its endless stream of ghost bodies in order to log world events at the speed of voice.
This is actually an awesome writing prompt: The older ghosts get updates from the younger ones, and send stories back from their own lives, like a long telephone wire..
Eventually, she stopped thinking.
Is that a JoJo reference
I don't like this
So there's just a long ass trail of ghosts floating in space?
At least some sections would be heavily populated....
Nothing is as terrifying as SpaceEngine.
Frankly. This⦠software rearranged my brain and changed me fundamentally.
There are no words to describe being lost in the 10^27 of space. Itβs just too much, you will go insane and if you survive you will lose the ability to talk with people, lose every single thing that you thought matters. You will be alone even in the busiest of places, some part of you forever stuck in the 10^27 of emptiness between Galaxy Groups.
This isnβt a joke. Ignorance is bliss
It's anxiety inducing in VR, so fucking cool
ITT: people thinking way too hard about a comic
you know its a good comic when it makes people think too hard about it
to be a little pedantic, if you take in account the rate of expansion of the universe, and take as a truth that the ghost stays stationary in spacetime, earth would disappear in an instant
The spirit is already moving at the same speed and in the same direction as the earth when it exits the body.
That's a fair point. So then one might expect the ghost to continue their motion tangential to the orbit of the earth, and so they'll float away.
However, the theory of general relativity suggests that gravity isn't really like other forces. It doesn't push or pull anything at all; but rather its bends the fabric of time and space. Objects 'falling' due to gravity, or 'in orbit' around a planet are actually moving in a direct straight line in curved space-time. And this is why gravity still applies to massless objects such as light. So then, I'd say the ghost would still be affected by gravity - and that their main concern would be falling into the earth rather than drifting away.
