Buuuut it is not static as it is in constant movement and also at our time scale,we ourselves and anything in this Milky Way is moving extremely fast around the Black hole in the center,thank the hole! :pYou do not need to see it for it to exist.

Well since we are far away from the big black hole at the center of our galaxy, we are not actually moving very fast as its attraction is weak over here.

But stars orbiting close to the hole move much faster, true!

However I do not know if they move fast enough to be visible with the naked eye (should we be close enough to see such a show). What I do know is we are too far to see it with our naked eyes, on top of all the galactic dust making it totally impossible to see it with our naked eyes and as if that was not enough, the black hole has this damning flaw: it is BLACK and therefore impossible to see with your eyes even without the galactic dust masking it.

So black holes are even stupider than the universe considering they DO SOMETHING but hide it from view, what's the point of doing something spectacular if you are going to hide? The universe does nothing but at least it does not try to hide. In conclusion I dislike black holes even more than I do the universe. The black hole at the center of the Milky Way is lucky to be so far away so he can't hear me but I would totally tell it to its face, how stupid it is to do stuff and hide it at the same time. He'll definitely NEVER have a "thank you" from me!

We and the stars surrounding us move at a rate of 828 000 km/hr,the thing is that you see everything very much from your own perspective but i'm liking your fun posts.

Second bolded: lol, black hole in distance tearing up rn :(

No one's ignoring what you said, it was a legitimate question either way. Alright, a star moving takes millions or billions of years, but it only takes a couple minutes for each post to be written in this discussion we're having. What exactly makes one thing more relevant than other - why is our discussion nothing, but the star moving is "something"? I suppose you could say the movement of the stars affects more things, and I guess that'd be true, but... so, what?What difference would it make if there was a star that could move fast enough for us to notice? If it was too far, you wouldn't even know. If it was too close, we'd all die. And somewhere in between, well, I guess you'd get a weird looking moving star in the night sky. Wow, a life changing experience.So, in other words, you have an issue of perceiving everything as irrelevant. You have a notion that relevant stuff happens in a different time-scale, but for that different time-scale the movement of the star is just as relevant as the movement of the fan you turn on on hot summer nights. Relevance is a human concept, the universe doesn't care about it. Life isn't about what is or isn't relevant, it's about learning to enjoy stuff regardless of how important it may seem.

I see what you mean. However my reasoning is that the universe created me, yet it made me at a time scale that cannot interact with its time scale. The universe created me, I did not create the universe, therefore the discrepancy is the universe's fault, not mine.

My notion of what is relevant or not is not better or truer than yours or the universe's of course but since I am a product of the universe, since my consciousness is a product of the universe and since my subjective perception is a product of the universe, I don't understand why the universe made me see and perceive at a scale that is totally off compared to it.

At the end of the day, it's like you said: The universe does not care about human concepts. Fair (and true) enough, so I'll return this question: Why should I care for the universe? The answer is I don't and that explains my consideration of the universe and its worth.

Alcohol, freedoms (insert favorite legal or illegal here), video games, and the whole bunch of Assholes, Geeks, Trolls, Fanboys, and Mods on this site.

I am thankful for today.

Who knows what tomorrow or the day after will bring, but today I feel fine, I have a hot steaming mug of powerful coffee, VGChartz is more active than it has been in forever, I'm chatting with friends and family via text, revisiting my childhood my re-watching Star Trek Next Gen on Netflix, playing through the Hearts of Stone expansion for Witcher 3, and overall just enjoying what I have in the here and now.

I have no Brothers or Sisters. My Mom died two years a go. I live with my Dad. We get along Great.He is 72. I am thankful I get to spend time with him. He is the Hardest Worker I know. He has been doing Flooring for a Living for 50 Years. The guy cannot sit still. Though his Body has taken a Pounding over those years.
