>space is a bunch of glowing rocks
Wow gee thanks god

>>10698949
>Stars
>Rocks

And not ONE visible galactic civilization. What an unbelievable waste of resources. God would never make it as an engineer

>>10699016
I see. So this is why simulation theory is so viable...
It is obvious that he...
IS A CS STUDENT.

>>10699056
n-no

>>10699056
Yeah, realistically all that stuff is really probably just an animated skybox one of his art major friends drew for him

Thanks, I hate it.

>>10698944
Almost empty*

>>10699056

>>10698944
No one every said space was empty.

>>10699056
The Great Filter...

>>10699056
There is no hope...No hope...No hope...

>>10699056
delet this

>>10699081
I said it and I'll say it again

>>10698969
Technically he's right because rock is the solid form of lava.

>>10699056
I hope he gets a fucking D for this project.

>>10699258
Stars aren't lava tho.. stars aren't rock

>>10699258
Water is lava.

For the record, this is what happens when you view a galaxy from this angle. You see all the stars as one big collage, but they are actually varying brightness and therefore much further spaced apart than apparent. Which means in-between them are billions of planets and dust and god knows what else.

Keep in mind that those stars are not resolved. They are the barest fraction of a single pixel in diameter; the light just bleeds out into a small circle.

>>10699056
This is worse than that memetic hazard

>>10699295
Retard spotted.

But it is. A scale model of our region of the Milky Way would on average have one sand-grain sized star per cubic mile. Of course the distribution of sizes, masses and densities is extremely uneven: about 70% of stars in a typical spiral galaxy are red dwarfs, but even the nearest one, which is the nearest star, would have to be about 1/4th its distance or closer to be visible without a telescope. And all of the stars that are individually resolved in the most magnified frame of this view of Andromeda are by comparison highly luminous and far-separated rarities like most of the stars that are visible to the unaided eye at night--typically hundreds to thousands of times more luminous than the sun--which is about a thousand times more luminous than the typical red dwarf.

>>10699056
now it all makes sense

>>10698969
Stars are gassy hot rock

>>10698944
I thought this was a picture pointed downwards on a staircase

>>10698944
It just looks crowded because there's a bunch of light sources
>>10698949
>>space is just a bunch of hot gas
fixed!
>>10699016
And why would galactic scale civilizations be visible to us anon? Galaxies are far.

>>10699965
Do you actually think stars are made of lava?
>the absolute fucking state of /sci/

>>10698944
you guys enjoying summer break?

Space is an abstract thick web shape.

If you look at it in the night sky it is the black between stars or it is not, per say, open black with stars in it.

Why is space not white? Because it is condensed.

Answer me this and I'll be able to tell how smart you are
Which would win: a normal sun made of lava at 1000 degrees or an ice sun at -1000 degrees

>>10702186
Impossible. Holes.

>>10699056
m-masaka!

>>10702186
Not the guy you were replying to, but.
If a pool is too hot and you add cold water to it, it becomes colder. If you do vice versa, the hotness does not transfer into the cold water.
Therefore temperature can be perfectly described using pools and the -1000 ice sun wins because it believes in itself more than the hot pool
