OverlordMcGeek Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 I mean if the universe is massive as foooook then every nook and cranny should have a star or 2 or entire galaxies grouped behind one another. Sure there is dust and stuff out there but light gets everywhere just like...nvm don't wanna get banned... But seriously, what?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheStag Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 An accurate interpretation of space would make Archwing be boring and difficult to play in my opinion. Really, I would not appreciate getting crushed by a black hole or such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)SuperRaySonic Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 We need more black holes that can suck the life out of us... like seriously would be an natural element.. we also need storms tsunamis and other stuff.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xRufus7x Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 (edited) Space is infinite, the amount of matter in it is not. Imagine if you took a bag of marbles and threw it on your floor. Those marbles would not cover the entire floor. They would just spreads out creating large gaps. On top of this, the current theory is that the majority of the universe consists of dark matter, which is not visible.

bl4ckhunter Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 (edited) light is like made of "particles" as the distance from the source increases the distance between the particles increases, given that we can only see clusters of particles and not a single one at a certain distance from us even stars become invisible to the naked eye and also as someone as already pointed out while space is infinite matter is only possibly infinite, also light when crossing large distances if the distance between source and observator is increasing becomes infrared at a certain point Edited March 29, 2015 by bl4ckhunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PSN)gino1313 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 light is like made of "particles" as the distance from the source increases the distance between the particles increases, given that we can only see clusters of particles and not a single one at a certain distance from us even stars become invisible to the naked eye, also light when crossing large distances if the distance between source and observator is increasing becomes infrared at a certain point Close, but really its that as photons (the carriers of all radiation) travel through objects (such as air, glass, and paper) the higher frequencies of visible light are observed while the less harmful/ lower frequency ones such as micro waves and infra red waves persist due to their minimal activity with matter.

CraackerTraash Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 To back up what others like bl4ckhunter have said, there's also the fact that space, regardless of whether or not it's infinitely large, is not infinitely old, and light takes time to travel from place to place. So there's a certain threshold past which the light emitted from stars and such has not reached us, and thus it appears black. You also have to account for stuff like light bending around gravitational lenses, dust blocking and diffusing it, black holes absorbing it, and loads of other stuff that manages to keep space pretty dark.

Aeriax Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Ah yes, Olbers' Paradox. One of the primary reasons that the universe is as dark as it is, is because a lot of these objects are incredibly far away. In fact, so far away that the light reaching us has been fundamentally changed by the passive expansion of the universe- this redshifting has rendered the most distant light into wavelengths that are not visible to us (ie. infrared, microwaves, radio waves). Space also likely wouldn't look like a wall of light due to the fact that the large scale structure of the cosmos is actually kind of stringy- it'd be noticeably darker (although still bright in this hypothetical due to things being beyond it) even if that were the case. That and, there are a finite amount of stars (so far as we know) given that they required some time to form after the universe became transparent (this transition period IIRC is characterized by the cosmic background radiation, which is the earliest thing our equipment can currently 'see').

kirin9 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 If there were an infinite bunch of stars and so on and the universe was infinitely old, there would be a white night sky and it would be very bright indeed. But it isn’t infinitely old. It was created approximately 14 billion years ago and since the speed of light is constant, we can only see objects that are less than 14 billion light years away. ;) Light from stars further away from us than these 14 billion light years will not have had enough time to reach the Earth. We are living within a spherical univers, which is a damn much smaller than the total universe. I guess its called ‘observable universe’,isn’t it?
