king 11,664 Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 I often think while looking at the moon.just how clever we are as a species to extract metals from the earth and fuel.then design and build a machine to travel to that distant planet and get back to earth. Its an amazing process when you think where we are now compared to 200yrs ago.but I can't think to much about space as it blows my mind abit lol. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

With far less distractions back then people were far more in tune with the natural world and skys and all its phases they made story's based on the things they seen these story's later became the foundations of the religious books we have today . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BGD 6,385 Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 No light pollution made it a lot easier to observe the changes in the night sky too. Even out in the country these days you can't see half of what they could back in the day because of light pollution. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tiercel 6,986 Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 We are programmed from the day we are born that everything has a beginning and end, every second, minute, hour, day, inch, metre and so on. We just cannot comprehend infinity, where there is no beginning or end. Even typing this now I am trying to visualise it and I can't, because I am always looking for a start point and an end point.
