Wake Up With A Did You Know About The Universe That Will Break Your Brain

Space is so hot right now, not literally. Literally it’s cold, but people can’t stop talking about it. It’s in the news one way or another every day. People storming Area 51, Aliens buzzing the tower, Bezos and Elon Musk, Trump, and China all in a space race. It’s wild. The latest revelation in the news is that our galaxy, the Milky Way, is shaped like a pringle chip

It’s a different shape, yawn. Who cares.

Here is are some facts that make me believe that we have never had aliens actually visit Earth in our lifetimes.

The Milky Way is fucking ENORMOUS. If you were going to cross it, and you traveled at the speed of light, the theoretical fastest speed anything can go, it would still take you 100,000 years. That’s just our little galaxy. There’s an estimated 100 billion galaxies in the universe. How the fuck are aliens from anywhere going to get here, to us, our shitty little know nothing planet, when it takes 100,000 years at the speed of light just cross our galaxy? Seems impossible.

You see that picture there? That is Voyager 2. We sent that shit into space. It is the only man-made object to leave our Solar System. It is just cruising along through space at a comfortable 39,000 MPH. By comparison a bullet from gun travels at 1800 MPH. That Voyager 2 will have to continue at that pace for 289,000 years before it reaches the closest star. Who the fuck is even going to remember humans existed?

There are definitely Aliens out there. Seems impossible, mathematically, for them NOT to exist. There are 100 billion stars in the milky way and 100 billion known galaxies. When you add that all up that is more stars in the sky than all of the grains of sand on the entire planet of Earth. One of those fuckers has to have some aliens…they just haven’t come here. Final answer. Enjoy your Wednesday with some facts and figures that hurt your head if you think about them for too long.
