Journey to the Center of the Milky Way Galaxy Like Never Before (4K)

Come with me on an epic journey through time and space, from Earth to the center of the Milky Way galaxy. In this experience, you will fly faster than the speed of light out of the solar system, past the billions of stars that make up the Milky Way galaxy and into the galactic core, where a cosmic giant, a supermassive black hole, will be waiting for you. Here you will observe the cosmic chaos that drives the galaxy. If you enjoyed this epic flythrough, remember to tap the like button and subscribe!

Let's explore how cutting-edge research and groundbreaking theories like General Relativity are revealing their true nature.

It would be super cool if we made a movie about Earth discovering another planet with life with us being the slightly more advanced species and us sending dozens of probes to them, communicating our language our discoveries and where we are in the universe over a period of hundreds of years. Then they could send their own probes to our planet one day. Eventually making full contact after a thousand or so years.

[@Anonymous-md2qp]

The size of the Milky Way is so hard to comprehend. I enjoy watching the sunset most evenings. I know I’m on a giant rock that is rotating and I’m slowly rotating backwards as the sun goes out of view. When the stars begin to appear, it just seems so hard to understand that each star is essentially just like the sun that I watched moments ago setting on the horizon. They are so far away! Incredible stuff.

[@chrism3784]

if you can see the star without visual aid, most likely it is much brighter then the sun

Aint no way we’re alone in the universe, especially if plenty of stars have similar planetary systems as the sun does. The possibilities are truly endless.

[@beta_cygni1950]

Probably so. But "life" doesn't necessarily equal "intelligent life". Life is probably plentiful. But intelligent civilizations are probably very rare, if they even exist at all.

[@BarryBollox.]

​@@beta_cygni1950 I bet there are many Intelligent civilizations. The odds are there. However i am not sure on the odds of communication based on our current understanding of pshysics.

[@beta_cygni1950]

@@BarryBollox. I tend to think that while life in the universe is probably plentiful, INTELLIGENCE (that is, technological intelligence & other civilizations) is exceedingly rare. Just look at our own world's evolutionary history: out of the billions of species that have arisen on earth over the last 3.5 billion years, only ONE of those has produced a civilization-building species. Just ONE, out of BILLIONS! And our species' journey on that path required a great number of events to happen 'just right' for our abilities to outpace simple animals. Its the very definition of an "extremely low probability event"!!! Intelligence on our level to create technology & build civilization is clearly not a requisite for survival. So, I think that the frequency of this occuring on a universal scale is extremely low. And add to that: we really just started having sufficient technology to merit being called a "technologically advanced species" VERY recently (only a tiny fraction of the 300,000 years of our species' total existence and of the 3.5 BILLION years of life on this planet). Humans didn't even invent "civilization" until 5000 years ago, so civilization is still a pretty recent concept for us. Hell, humans didn't even invent FARMING until 8,000 years ago (and we were around for 290,000 years before that). Again... that's all out of 3.5 billion years of life in the planet! That's only a blink of an eye! The probability of any "alien civilization" occuring at the same time as our own civilization's brief infancy is infinitesimally tiny! (Even assuming there are any out there, which as I said above is pretty damned unlikely) So while the probability of life in our universe is probably high, the probability of other intelligent space-faring civilizations is probably science fiction. And nothing more than that.

[@dieseldog00]

I've never thought we were alone. Too many galaxies too many stars.

[@SuperYtc1]

@@beta_cygni1950 The intelligence evolved only once argument is silly. Of course it did. Once the first intelligence evolves they control the planet and wouldn't allow another intelligence to evolve. There also has to be lots of more simple evolutions before intelligence evolves, as intelligence is more complex, so of course intelligence is going to evolve later and not have evolved as frequent.

It was astonishing! Very, very well done.

[@fizzmoe9846]

unfortunately, it would not at all appear as it seems in this video. in order for light to be dispersed as it is from our view on planet earth, there must be an atmosphere to do so. in space, it is void of these things, and stars are much much much further apart than this video makes it appear, so you would not see this pretty hyperlightspeed affect here. Even the stars only lightweeks apart would likely be dimly lit, if theyre seen at all
