Bumble bee analogy to size of space

[dgold44]

Just heard this and wanted to share !!!

Shows you how vast the empty space is between stars in every galaxy

If you took 4 bubble bees and randomly put them anywhere in the USA .
They have a greater chance of colliding than any 2 stars in the Milky Way !!
Assuming the stars are not binary or triple systems

 

[Bartelby]

Bumble bees are being killed off by insecticides, so think about something important for a change!

 

[ByeByePoly]

I don't know anything about bubble bees ... but I did just find out that you can replace those evil G8 halogen puck light bulbs with LED bulbs. Cool.

This is all Trumps fault

Hope those new puck led lights I just ordered on Amazon don't make me look orange.

If you put 4 bees in separate boxes and shipped them UPS to the same address, what are the chances all 4 make it on the same delivery?

So if you eat Bumble Bee Bluefin Tuna, you're endangering TWO species!!

Yes ... but it's required to make room for all of that plastic.

A good 90 percent if they all shipped from same location

A good 90 percent if they all shipped from same location

But only if they choose 2 day air

I will use this one, but I will change it to world instead of just the US. Much better sound to it.

Plus, as @Bartelby said, the bees would die before getting a chance anyways, so the chance is actually zero.

Assume the bees don’t die !!!

The point was most of space is just emptiness

Plenty of aliens traveling throughout though.

Yes but they don’t care to visit us because we’re useless

If they visit me —I want 3 things - one is invisibility

 

[Deleted member 733170]

Doesn’t gravity hold the stars in position so they don’t randomly collide?

A more amazing fact is that there are more possible outcomes on a Go board than atoms in the universe.

Would you really want to go through life without being seen by anybody?

Be careful what you wish for.

No ..just the power to turn it on/off !!
Not to stare at women but to create “ my new Empire of justice , peace , security “

I always think that it's trickier and more dangerous to fulfil wish fantasies than we suppose.

For instance suppose you accidentally wish yourself visible while trying to be invisible?

 

[Bartelby]

I can just see the mountains of dead people reaching to the sky under your new Empire.

Don't be ridiculous. Maybe hills.... not mountains.

 

[Bartelby]

The hills are alive with the sound of music, to quote from dgold's favourite film.

(I'm sure he thinks that Rolfe is played by a young Roger Waters).
