Here's a fact that makes no sense

[megman]

I use to have a CFC rating (Canadian Federation of Chess). It is true.

Just the number of moves possible in the first 10 moves of chess is 8 digits.

In my research on atoms and the universe as they pertain to chess moves, i learned that a typical chess game consists of 40 pairs of moves from the players.

My buddy and I could do that standing on our heads playing a 5 minute game.

knowing Avagadro's number also helps.

But I find Avagadro cancels out Capo Ferro, don't you? Unless the enemy has studied his Agrippa, which I have.

of course. and knights move in an "L" shape.

Man, one "fact" (Carl Sagan?) that I always hated was the "There are more Stars in in the Universe than all the sand on all the beaches on Earth". WTH does that even mean? Finally read a few years ago someone finally state the "fact". Get you hands on a lot of extremely fine construction sand. Fill up a normal spoon- that's the number of stars visible (10,000) on the darkest night. Throw that spoonful into a wheelbarrow and fill it to the top with sand. That's the number of stars (100-150 billion) in the Milky Way Galaxy. Now take that wheelbarrow of sand and dump it into one of those huge sand trailers that railroads haul. Fill it to the rim. Now start the railroad up and have one of those trailers pass by one every second. Totaling the number of stars in the entire Universe, The last trailer would pass by after 6.3 years.

One that blew me away recently, and I will probably have to google to get the facts right. One of those Nasa probes, Voyager 2, they sent out to survey all the planets in our solar system left our solar system a few years ago. They said the speed it was going, 35,000 mph. They said at that speed that the next planet that it would approach would be in 20,000 years (or some insane number of years).

Think about this. Voyager 1 and 2 are probably traveling as fast as our technology allows right now. A fraction of a fraction of a fraction of Light Speed. Even if you could travel at light speed, to get across the Milky Way galaxy would take you 300,000 years.

And yet they can still post a picture......

They can't post pictures anymore but quarter a Century after their nuclear cores were supposed to be as dead as the space around them, they still occasionally check in. Totally amazing.

One last post and I'll let you be for the night. As vast as the distances are traveling through a Galaxy, they pale in comparison with the distances between most galaxies. If you could equip 1,000 astronauts with space suites and send them via teleport to 1,000 random places throughout the Universe, 99.9% would see the exact same thing. Total darkness because they are in Space between the galaxies and can't see their light unless they had a telescope . And then it would be just a smudge of light far away.

Don't want to start a whole 'nother thread but I was thinking of the moon. Most people can see it so in our minds we think its not really that far away but in reality that fucker is a long way away from us and the first astronauts who went there had some big brass balls to go there in a tin can hoping the math was right.
