Insignificant

[ColinJ]

The black video box thing is nothing to do with anything you did, it's a phenomena that seems to happen to some of us using Apple stuff. It's totally pissed on my chips as far as the Friday night music threads go.

Oh yes, I saw that there was a thread about that problem. Very strange!

I'm surprised that Apple didn't sort something like that out pretty quickly, given how huge YouTube is.

Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned,
A sun that is the source of all our power
The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
Are moving at a million miles a day
In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour
Of the galaxy we call the 'Milky Way'

That calls for a song

Space can't get any bigger because it's infinite.
No matter...

But the best HHG description of our insignificance has got to be the Total Perspective Vortex.

That’s what I was trying to remember before I resorted to the introduction.

On July 20, 1969, 2 man landed on the moon. 52 years ago. It was well before the microwave was invented, the internet was conceived and wired rotary dial phone was not even common in most houses.

How did they leave earth, its atmosphere , travel over 380,000 km, land on an inhospitable planetary body and return back alive to tell the tale.

As we unfold science, we will learn more. To unfold it we must aspire.

American engineer Percy Spencer is generally credited with inventing the modern microwave oven after World War II from radar technology developed during the war. Named the "Radarange", it was first sold in 1946."
