stefmeister Posted April 11, 2019 Share It's an image from 55 million light years away (the equivalent of photographing an orange on the face of the moon), of something that by definition cannot be seen....Yes, i know that. It was a joke. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted April 11, 2019 Share meanwhile, back here on earth people are dying of hunger, disasters etc. but NOOOOOO lets spend billions on taking photos of a thing that won't help anyone with anythingwhy must everything be so binary? We can, and do, do both. And yes, it will help. Scientific models can now be confirmed or thrown out, or more data on gravitational constants and space / time etc etc. Lenses / sensors being used to catch this data can be used in myriad other areas in the future, and people can now have a more thorough understanding of what things like this look like instead of watching Interstellar and thinking oooooh, pretty Edited April 11, 2019 by Captain Fatbastard Mayhem Spoke101, DJR, LongDonkey and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shebeen Posted April 11, 2019 Share meanwhile, back here on earth people are dying of hunger, disasters etc. but NOOOOOO lets spend billions on taking photos of a thing that won't help anyone with anything EXACTLY! Why are these so called smart people sciencing? Because sciencing will never help us with world hunger and disasters. They should take their Ph.Ds, research grants and fancy algorithms and rather do something useful, like grow mielies!

stefmeister Posted April 11, 2019 Share meanwhile, back here on earth people are dying of hunger, disasters etc. but NOOOOOO lets spend billions on taking photos of a thing that won't help anyone with anythingUrgh. Seriously? You’re joking right? You do know that these “scientists” that are spending billions, were also responsible for developing the www (the platform you’re using right now to bitch about them) while working on the CERN LHC. The thing that practically revolutionized the last 20-30 years. And that was just a “by-product” of a project far bigger that the world wide web.
