    I’ve seen this image before. This time, however, I am half way through watching The Expanse. I had a much stronger reaction to it this time, for a couple reasons, lol.

    Kinda weird to put the sun in the center imo. Cause we’re not the center of it all. But if you put the earth in the center and started spacing out from there it would be pretty cool IMHO

      Just for artistic reasons so it can look like an eye

      I guess we are trained to see the sun as the center due to historic reasons. Really helps with not assuming everything revolves around us.

      But the sun also provides a Bright center for the drawing so there is some artistic merit, I believe.

      Why is it weirder to put the sun at the center than to put the earth at the center?

      • UrPartnerInCrime@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Well if Earth is at the center than this is everything we can see in the observable galaxy from our viewpoint. Having it this way seems like out solar system is the center of it all

    Some say that the universe only exists insofar as it is perceived. This is true, but we are not the observers. All of the world is a grand eye and that eye is spread across itself again and again. We are all but figments in the eye of the world, floaters thinking themselves eyes and seeing nothing. This is all to say that the elf on the shelf is REAL and this image PROVES IT!

      Yeah that outer edge is called the firmament.

    Louis Rossman had a video recently that I think applies here: don’t give in to the premises of assholes. This was particularly directed at Gamer’s Nexus and how Steve over there handles Linus, but it’s good life advice.

    There are people in this world who try to set conditions for their own benefit at the expense of you. Don’t let them do that. This image is a good example; it’s a perfectly valid model for certain use cases. Don’t let anti-science idiots take that away with their stupidity.

    • Symphonic@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Now and then I’ll watch a Louis Rossman and Gamer’s Nexus video but I don’t follow Linus. Did something happen between them that I missed?

      source
      • frezik@midwest.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Oh, yeah, lots of drama.

        Gamer’s Nexus has always wanted to do very careful testing with wind chambers and sound chambers and such. They’ve been building that sort of thing up over the last few years, but the options for that are at the limits of what they can invest in at their level. However, they’re also very careful about how they do it and document everything.

        Now, Linus Media Group was putting together the same sort of lab, but they don’t have the same reputation that Gamer’s Nexus does on being careful and taking your time to get it right. Just the opposite, in fact. What they do have is the capital to invest in a much more elaborate setup. Then some of the staffers made a comment on video directly aimed at Gamer’s Nexus and how LMG’s lab will be better.

        That’s when Steve went gloves off and made a whole video detailing LMG’s sins of poor reviews and staff that wish they could spend more time to get things right. Things like “this mouse feels bad when you drag it around the desk”, and it turned out they forgot to take the plastic protective coating off the bottom.

        This dominoes into a few other incidents that I’ll spare for the moment so this post doesn’t get too long. Suffice it to say, LMG lost a lot of subscribers because of a series of issues that were highlighted to the community by Gamer’s Nexus, and then that opened up into even more things. It revealed how much LMG’s internals are steeped in bro culture, just in case that wasn’t obvious.

        The two have mostly ignored each other since then, but there was one thing that recently resurfaced it. Steve apparently had an old phone that had been doxxed some years ago, and he doesn’t use that number anymore. Now, Linus and Steve had been texting at various times to Steve’s new number. Linus recently sent a text to the old number, knowing that Steve wouldn’t ever see it, and then claims on video that Steve isn’t responding to his text on an issue between them. That’s what prompts Lewis to make the “don’t give in to the premises of assholes” video.

        Linus clearly set that situation up. Lewis is more familiar with how people like that function, and he had to walk Steve through the logic of what was going on. That’s the part that reminded me of my old roommate, because I was often in Steve’s situation and like him, didn’t recognize it for what it was.

      The further you look in the sky, the further back in time you are looking as well – there is no way to see what far way looks like “right now”. This image shows the visible universe as it appears from our perspective in spacetime, which necessarily smears together the “where”, “what”, and “when” of it all.

    The outer ring is made of 1-3 meter thick bedrock, but you can easily teleport through it. Just remember to bring enough material with you to make a portal to get home.

    Well, it’s showing the moon lit up while it’s behind the earth, so clearly it should all be dark due to the eclipse. So I can only conclude that it’s trying to get the word out that we actually live in a binary solar system.
