  1. The basic premise of string theory is that everything is made up of vibrating filaments and membranes made out of energy. In other words, strings and... well... branes. String theory is a newer theory that attempts to explain things like gravity using quantum physics. The answer I gave about black and white holes earlier is part of string theory. The thing is, string theory is kind of heady. Part of string theory includes parallel universes, several extra dimensions, and all sorts of things that sound like something from the sci-fi channel after midnight. That's the part of it that I'm kind of .-. about. The real question is "where is space black". When you are on Earth, space actually appears to be Navy Blue (a really dark shade of it). In space, however, we see black everywhere. The majority of it seems black to us. Now, the thing is, it's not black. It's simply not reflecting light. Imagine a white room with no light source. It appears black, but isn't really black. So the answer to your question is that space isn't black, it's just dark. This actually depends on the photographer. In quite a few photos of the individual planets, photographers actually cut out a good chunk of the background to allow you to focus on the planet. Or they recreate the planet using modelling based on photos rather than taking an actual photo. These tend to be the most popular "photos" of the planets. As for why the background isn't as clear in the other photos but is still there, it's because of the giant planet taking up the point of focus that makes it seem as if there isn't much else in the photo. The thing about the things in space that might kill us eventually is that by the time they do eventually become a threat we will have learned how to avoid their threats. As for war, that's actually the current most likely thing to end our species' reign on this planet. That being said, we are survivors. That's what humanity is good at. Think about it. We are not suited for living outside like the other animals, without tools we would have trouble hunting, and we require the protein in most meats to survive. If we did not have intelligence, then we would have a tougher time of things than most animals would. Since we got our intelligence, we've started living nearly everywhere on the planet and surviving it. We even live in the parts of Antarctica that nothing else can. Here in another 10 years, we'll even live on Mars (if things go well). So, if ANYTHING is going to kill us, it will be either ourselves or the heat-death of the universe.
  2. So I totally like how you guys are counting up and haven't gotten past 30 My prediction is that you won't, either Everyone here is counting on the staff not paying attention but Everyone knows we always do Zebra, for one, knows all of the posts, just like I do so Every time you post here it's a waste of time.
  3. Did you know that RedStarRocket91 is Scottish?
  4. No. Also, do I get points for doing the riddles? Because I totally should.
  5. You know, I would believe you, except that everything I see tells me you don't know what you're talking about. The DEVELOPMENT of the game didn't cost anywhere near 500 million, but Activision clearly stated that they had invested half a billion dollars into Destiny. The CEO of Activision stated that they had spent around 500 million on Development, marketing, packaging, infrastructure support, royalties, and other costs. A spokesperson from Activision then verified this with the news source that ran the interview. Just for emphasis: The CEO said they spent 500 million dollars on Destiny and THE COMPANY confirmed they spent 500 million on Destiny. The CEO of Bungie stated that you would have to ask Activision about everything except for development, but development didn't cost 500 million dollars. The figure he gave was specifically for development and he clearly stated he had no idea what it cost for marketing or anything else. Here's the very first sentence out of Bungie's CEO's mouth during the interview: "For marketing you’d have to ask Activision people, but for development costs, not anything close to $500 million."
  6. *sigh* Fine. I was a killer I had no mercy or feeling I could not be reasoned with I tore people apart from the inside out I could not be stopped, most of the time People usually didn't even know I was there before it was too late These days though, I've been all but wiped out The killer has been killed What am I?
