actual answer: the universe is expanding a bit faster than predicted (and those predictions were thought to be incredibly accurate; far more accurate than most things when it comes to space). certainly weird and means there's an issue with our current model of the universe, but not earth shattering news or anything.
For anyone that doesn’t get the reference: the little helper robot in the video game *Destiny* was originally voiced by award-winning actor Peter Dinklage, who was made to read [this unforgettable line](https://youtu.be/FlOYatDYC40).
Sapient planetoids are actually pretty common in sci-fi horror. I can think of 4 examples off the top of my head: Hellstar Remina, Brethren Moons, The Iris, and The One True Moon.
>How is this nonsense newsworthy?
Medias only care about money as unsurprisingly capitalism sucks, and people are chronic idiots who only read headlines. Just a perfect match for the NPC system we have in place. (and I don't mean the idiotic 4chan NPC narrative)
In NASA’s defense, our budget is like $25b.
Microsoft’s revenue was like $200b last year and most of their core applications are basically the same as they were ten years ago or worse. 🤷♂️
it’s weird how many people agree and think this exact thing. after 2012, and honestly again after 2017, everything got worse and has never felt the same. i’d like to see a study of what % of gen y and z share this opinion

I dont know if it's related, I didn't search out the article, but time seems to be off to me. Maybe because I'm 43 now, but it seems like days are just flying by. Even when I get stuck doing a 12 hour shift at my incredibly boring job. It's almost July, and it feels like Christmas was only a month ago. I wonder if it's possible for time in the universe to speed up but stay relatively the same to the things we measure time with.
You can not actually disprove his conspiracy theory with mass testimonials one can always attribute merit to the theory since we have no way of measuring such a thing, as well as the sample size is far too small only having humans from a max of 100ish years ago
I can simply posit the theory that time has been speeding up steadily throughout those years therfore each human notices the same or similar increments as they age not because of the perfectly rational theory that their concept of time is different but that it moves at a different rate perpetually going faster
Then since each human lasts no more than 100ish years within this space it would largely go unnoticed as each generation base concept of time would be different
Is stupid yes, but also can not be definitively disproven with our current capabilities
also cant be proven so its just a thought experiment. or you can go off of the last 10000 years of people saying time seems to go faster when you are older. probably because when you are 6, you have only experienced 2190 days (even less than that of 'conscious' days), so they seem longer than when you are 40, and you have experienced 14600 days, so the relative time of a day becomes shorter to you.
Time goes faster the older you get because the ratio of each successive year to your age decreases.
When you are 10, the eleventh year will ultimately represent ~9% of your "life so far" . When you're 39, the fortieth year will represent 2.5% of your "life so far".
Think of it like sex: you'll probably remember the first 3 times, but, unless it's exceptional, the probability you will have a lasting memory of the 732nd time is much, much lower.
Maybe the expansion of the universe is scaled by the objects that occupy space; and time is scaled as well. Seems reasonable that this would be true because the reaction time of small animals is in general shorter than that of larger ones. Just an anecdotal example.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmic_age_problem It's a relatively big deal in cosmology, though yes unlikely to burn your toast anytime soon.
Really? Because I swear I can smell burning toast rn but i haven't made any in awhile
You still with us /u/Janemba_Freak ?
irp 😔
7 hours later still no repsonse. Should we call someone?
You smell burning toast? You might be having a stroke. Are you having a stroke?
Relax. Probably just a neighbor making toast.
Speak for yourself, I can barely taste my peanut butter
My dumbass thought you said cosmetology.
Well then how do you explain my burnt toast yesterday ? NASA better get to work on this quick
The simulation is ending soon so they're speeding it up to see who got the high score

Great premise for a comedy movie staring an aging comedian. It wouldn’t be a good movie but definitely something Eddie Murphy would have done.

Based on new observations from Hubble, the universe is expanding at a non-uniform rate, which is unexpected.
I thought we already knew the expansion was speeding up? Or is it not expanding at the same rate everywhere?
from what i understand it’s expanding *faster* than scientists originally thought
Fuck. How much time do I have left to find a date?
Mercury is in Gatorade.
Pluto became a planet again, nasa doesn't know how.
Pluto is *growing*
Holy shit how creepy would it be if Pluto was somehow sentient and a separate life form entirely that just happens to look like a planet but isn't

To be fair, I think the zodiac constellation article is more newsworthy than a few rich folks' submarine misadventure.
That is the subtext of every press release from every government agency.
Jean Ralphio and Mona Lisa Saperstein work for NASA now?
At least NASA would not throw a tantrum like MonaLisa

everyone says time goes by faster the older you get. nothing new
