Have you ever just gone outside at night and looked up?
There are a multitude of stars up there.
Now consider this...
How do you know what is a planet?
I mean, with the naked eye. The lights in the sky look all the same.
So without a telescope or any other device.
How do you tell what planet is what? And if it is indeed a planet?
This question has perplexed me.
Considering the Ancient Greeks, and even older races knew of these astral bodies.
How?
The gods of Greece are a case in point.
Mars (The God of War)
Venus (The God of Love)
They named these gods after the planets in the sky.
How did they know they were up there?
Older civilisations than Greece knew of these astral bodies.
The ancient city of Babylon.
Egypt, the Sumerians..
China new of these astral bodies as well.
Way back when...
And all this done without a telescope.
Even the old native Americans new of these planets.
And so did many old Aborigines from Australia to Canada.
Or even the Aztec's or Mians.
Just something I have pondered over...
Hi thomas
I have thought of that many times and I guess I don't know the answer.
Maybe they looked through a long magic pipe :ooh:
It is really fascinating tho, to look up and watch all the stars and planets. Also the big black thing ;)
Something else that I am really interested in is "Antimatter".
Higgs boson, now that really interests me !

Well even if they do manage to split it.
And find this elusive element.
They will end up finding that the particle they just split can be spilt again.
And again, and again... and so on. Go check out Nassim's videos.

Well, if there is matter.
Then you would think there is antimatter.
That would be a black hole.
They say nothing escapes a black hole.
This is incorrect.
The stuff goes to infinite.
And then returns.
It is the cycle.
Again, go see Nassim's videos.
Consider this.
The sun shines down on us mere mortals.
On this planet called earth.
It also shines onto other planets.
The sun radiates energy in all directions.
Into space.
So what is space full of?
It is full of energy.
That is why when you put a thought into form.
Or into the void or into the formless.
And you shape that thought.
It creates the form.
From no thing (nothing)
Comes something.
From formless to form.
