I was expecting her to snap back into her body and wake up with disappointment after astral projecting

olutukko,

This reminds me of psychedelics suprisingly lot

SLVRDRGN,

I have always imagined it this way.

So do they just maintain their initial velocity or would we have a chance to discover the static reference velocity of the universe?

Also they would still be affected by gravity if they still exist in space. Gravity is not a force that pulls objects together. It is merely the act of going straight in curved space. Either they are in that space and they are going to move along it within the shape of that space or they are not in that space. Though really if they just moved in a straight line with no external forces they are going to be subterranean because a real straight line in our space is down.

Demuniac,

We’re talking about ghosts here, we don’t know what laws they follow. That said, either you are right or they would be miles far from earth before being able to finish that first sentence.

KeenFlame,

No a real straight line in our space is not down

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA,
@HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world avatar

I mean everything is made up of little spheres do straight lines even exist

Karyoplasma,

If they are not bound to the laws of physics, what would they need gravity for?

RememberTheApollo_,

Should be a comet trail of ghosts drifting behind the Earth. She wouldn’t be alone.

UndercoverUlrikHD,

They would be pretty far apart though

Mango,

Peace

lud,

Yeah for like an hour and then you’d go insane.

Mango,

You say that like it’s hypothetical.

Evil_Shrubbery,

Finally billions of years without social interactions.

dumbass,
@dumbass@leminal.space avatar

So there’s just a long ass trail of ghosts floating in space?

At least some sections would be heavily populated…

No, because the solar system is moving together along the outer edge of the cosmos Milky Way. I don’t know if there’s anything such as a cosmic absolute frame of reference for “no motion”, but (depending on what you’re motionless in reference to) you would likely never see another soul.

HopFlop,

If you were killed in a mass-killing you’d have other ghosts near you though.

Gradually_Adjusting,
@Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world avatar

Think I’ll go this one alone

I always thought it was fun to imagine you are an immortal being and you get to walk around pranking people like jumping in front of a train but just bounce off or eating a sandwich with bleach but you are perfectly ok then one day the sun balloons and eventually the earth gets destroyed and you are wisked away then eventually trapped in the gravity well of a brown dwarf star and get sucked to the center for trillions of years.

With the death rate I feel like it wouldn’t be that lonely

Jank,

Provided that ghosts can even see or interact with other ghosts…

K0W4LSK1,
@K0W4LSK1@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Why couldn’t they and do only humans have ghosts

Jank,

We can’t see them, so why do we assume they can see each other?

K0W4LSK1,
@K0W4LSK1@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Why do we assume they don’t

Aquilae,
@Aquilae@hexbear.net avatar

We can’t see any other ghosts in these panels

K0W4LSK1,
@K0W4LSK1@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Maybe when expressed in comic form it only shows the ghost its watching idk I’m not a comicsansientist

hglman,

Space is a lot bigger than the death rate.

Zoot,
@Zoot@reddthat.com avatar

Yeah but you’re likely to die around the same time as another person. As long as you can float as fast as you could run, im sure you’d eventually find a partner…

hglman,

Assuming you float based on your last interaction with the matter before death, you would float off slowly in some random direction. So, while at first many would be near, you would eventually diverge into the nothing.

fah_Q,

Lol brutal

K0W4LSK1,
@K0W4LSK1@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Agreed but like are we counting animals and who knows what the fuck is out there. Just working theoretically

Reddfugee42,

I always thought it funny that traditional ghosts can go through walls but are held up by the floor. Finally some consistency.

KepBen,

They’re just behaving as they’ve been taught ghosts are supposed to behave.

Wilzax,

That’s because floors aren’t part of their finished business, but walls are.

hglman,

Just implies that ghost have some kind of interaction with gravity. Maybe ghosts make up dark matter.

Buddahriffic,

If you just had interaction with gravity, you’d fall through the floor.

hglman,

The interaction is clear more complicated than just pulled down, it also causes interaction with normal matter but only in a direction of the acceleration from gravity.

JimVanDeventer,
big_slap,

good boy

quaternaut,

But what’s the frame of reference?

greyw0lv,

The black hole in the centre of the universe.

xenoclast, (edited )

Where’s the center ?

Ps: i know the answer… this was a joke

ShrimpCurler,
SorryQuick,

Probably where the big bang was, aka the one point all galaxies are getting away from.

tweeks,

I believe the current theory is that the big bang happened everywhere equally, like a stretch, so there is no specific spot we can point to where it happened.

I wonder if Fido knows how to handle that in his calculations.

xenoclast,

Oh boy you’re gonna have good time learning about the formation of spacetime!

I’ll start you off. If space and time didn’t exist before the big bang…

SorryQuick,

Yeah I read about it when the other guy responded.

Guess you can’t trust everything they tell you in school!

OsrsNeedsF2P,

Wherever OP’s mom is

MalachaiConstant,

Upvoting because I’ve never seen this

but also I am now sad

emmie, (edited )

Nothing is as terrifying as SpaceEngine.

Frankly. This… software rearranged my brain and changed me fundamentally.

There are no words to describe being lost in the 10^27 of space. It’s just too much, you will go insane and if you survive you will lose the ability to talk with people, lose every single thing that you thought matters. You will be alone even in the busiest of places, some part of you forever stuck in the 10^27 of emptiness between Galaxy Groups.

This isn’t a joke. Ignorance is bliss

Landless2029,

I don’t know if I want to try this or not now

lud,

Try it, the old version is free.

I think the steam version has had a few updates since then but it should be so different.

ReeferPirate,

It’s anxiety inducing in VR, so fucking cool

Calm yourself, the Monad is a long journey away even for a spirit.
