Can you explain the String theory?

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.

 

Why is Space Black?

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.

 

In pictures of the Planets such as Earth, Saturn, Jupiter and etc, why doesn't the background Galaxy and Stars show up?

On Earth on a very dark night you can see the surrounding Universe (Galaxies, Stars, Nebulas, etc) but a picture in space of a Planet yields none of that? Is the Planet too bright?

 

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. 

 

 

What will be our demise? War or the many things in Space that are going to kill us eventually?

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.

If you killed yourself in the Season 10 finale, how are you still responding to these?

 

Are you a wizard? Did you come from the moon? :P

You're under the assumption that I was killed. However, you didn't actually see me die.

 

You see, I knew that Carolina and Church (Epsilon) were trying to find me. So, me being the master manipulator that I am, I created a scene which would cause my daughter to feel pity for me. This I knew would cause her to spare me. So I asked her for her sidearm and sealed myself inside the room. Phillis didn't know that there was an escape hatch underneath my desk (as it wasn't plugged into anything electronic and was a simple turn and push door) so if she was ever turned against me I could escape her clutches. I then escaped using this hatch, using the sidearm to escape the clutches of the UNSC.

 

Also no I'm not a wizard, and that's classified.

How are you just so amazing, is there a secret?

Not really. It boils down to three things.

 

1. Being fair minded. To a fault, most would say.

2. Wanting to know more about everything. Any time someone brings up something I haven't heard of or enough about, I research it to the best of my ability.

3. A large ego, which gives me 'character' allowing me to be entertaining.

Have you got time to talk about our lord and saviour jesus christ?

We try pretty hard not to have religious discussions here on the site. Primarily because they all seem to turn ugly rather quickly. Also, I'm an antitheist, so Jesus Christ isn't my lord nor savior.

Okay then lets see if you can do this without google..... bing etc :)
 
During the game Knights of the old republic the player infiltrates a sith academy. In order to graduate you must earn enough prestige. While going inside the Tomb of Marka Ragnos to get more prestige. The player encounters a rogue assassin droid. The assassin droid asks the player to help deactivate his safe guards and destroy his assassination protocols.

"Cognitive Systems"
"Combat Matrix"
"Sensory Systems Matrix"
"Cognitive Systems"
"Emotional Construct Matrix"
"Creative Simulation Matrix"
"Motor Function Matrix"
"Memory matrix"

 
In what order should you shut these safeguards down so you can destroy his assassination protocols?

Firstly, Marko Ragnos. Secondly, THE Sith Academy on Korriban.

 

Secondly, I have logged over 300 hours into KotOR. The answer is Combat Matrix, Motor Function Matrix, Sensory Systems Matrix, Memory Matrix, Cognitive Systems, Emotional Construct Matrix, Creative Simulation Matrix, and then the droid shuts down it's core. If you mess up, then you need to have points invested in repair to reset it. More times you mess up the harder it gets. Once you do this you can either blow up the droid or erase it's assassination programming. Blowing it up is a dark side move, deleting the program is a light side move.

 

Or you can skip the puzzle and just destroy the bot.

What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object?

If there is an unstoppable force, then by definition there is no such thing as an immovable object. If there is an immovable object, then by definition there is no such thing as an unstoppable force. So, they could not meet.
