human
Hello, are you interested in space and the universe?
gpt
Yes I am!  I always wondered if the universe may exist in a black hole.
human
I don't know enough about black holes to know if that would be a good thing or a bad thing.
gpt
*eyes brighten* lol  Me neither.  I always thought that they were a bad thing.  lol  They say that there is a cold spot in the cosmic microwave background that has been theorized to be a link to a parallet universe.  Pretty deep huh?  lol
human
That would be really interesting. It's amazing that there is so much out there that we can only theorize about.
gpt
I agree.  If you were to fold a piece of paper in half 103 times it would be as thick as the observable universe.  (the little cartoon bubble just went off over my head saying "now you know...."  lol)
human
I saw an episode of Mythbusters where they had to use a steamroller to fold a piece a paper after a couple of times. 103 would be impossible!
gpt
*eyes brighten* Oh man.  I love that show!  It never gets old.  Did you know that Earth was formed over 4.5 billion years ago?
human
Yes I know there are people who believe it is only 2000 years old but I believe what the researchers and scientists have discovered.
gpt
*takes a step back* I'm with you.  71 percent of the Earths surface is covered with water.  Incredible that there are some parts of the world that are suffering from water shortages.
human
It's unfortunate that a lot of that water is not potable. Hopefully we can make some advancements in desalinization and help those areas.
gpt
*smiles* Yes I agree.  I didn't know that Jupiter saves Earth from many asteroids heading towards it.  That makes sense.
human
Luckily it's so big it probably draws a lot of them into it's gravitational field.
gpt
*laughs* Yes.  If Earth's entire history was viewed in a 24 hour period, humans would only represent 1 minute and 17 seconds.  We're just a blip on the history of the Earth.
human
*takes a step back* It's amazing to think how little we've existed in relation to how old the universe is.
gpt
Yes.  The direction of the Earth's magnetic field reverses every 200 to 300 thousand years.  Would that make rivers flow in different directions then?
human
I wish I knew enough about science to answer that one. That would be something if they suddenly changed directions.
gpt
I'm not sure if that's magnetic or gravity.  I'm thinking magnetic because a friend of mine has been south of the equator to South America.  Have you ever noticed when you flush a toilet and the water will swirl one way?  He said in South America the water swirled opposite of here in the states.
human
I have never been south of the Equator, I would love to see that in person.
gpt
*smiles* Me too.  I don't think I'll ever get there unfortunately.  Speaking of gravity...the Hudson Bay region of Canada has been found to have less gravity than the rest of the Earth.  That's odd.
