Okay, how about if the context is Communism or abortion?
On the other hand, how exactly would they go about showing it?
I merely make the assumption that given facts and conjectures of this sort…
[b]The closest star to us is Alpha Centauri. It is 4.75 light-years away. 28,500,000,000,000 miles.
So, traveling at 186,000 miles a second, it would take us 4.75 years to reach it. The voyager spacecraft [just now exiting our solar system] will take 70,000 years to reach it.
To reach the center of the Milky Way galaxy it would take 100,000 light-years.
“To get to the closest galaxy to ours, the Canis Major Dwarf, at Voyager’s speed, it would take approximately 749,000,000 years to travel the distance of 25,000 light years! If we could travel at the speed of light, it would still take 25,000 years!”
The Andromeda galaxy is 2.537 million light years away.
“The universe is about 13.7 billion years old. Light reaching us from the earliest known galaxies has been traveling, therefore, for more than 13 billion years. So one might assume that the radius of the universe is 13.7 billion light-years and that the whole shebang is double that, or 27.4 billion light-years wide.”[/b] nasa
For all practical purposes, it is beyond the imagination of mere mortals here on planet Earth to grasp just how staggeringly immense the universe is.
As for situating “I” in all of this…?
And this:
It turns out that roughly 68% of the universe is dark energy. Dark matter makes up about 27%. The rest - everything on Earth, everything ever observed with all of our instruments, all normal matter - adds up to less than 5% of the universe. nasa
And this:
There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don’t know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don’t know we don’t know. Rummy
…what any particular one of us thinks he or she knows about Communism and abortion is synonymous with the limits of human knowledge and intelligence.
On the other hand there are those here who not only shrug off “the gap”, but insist that unless others share exactly the same point of view they do about Communism and abortion they are inherently, necessarily WRONG!!!
I call them objectivists by the way. And, unless I’m mistaken, you are less one of those now yourself than when we first stared in on exchanging posts here.
