(#1) The First Thing Aliens Will See From Humanity Is Hitler
Carl Sagan was a visionary man, gracing the world with his intelligence and imagination. In his book Contact, he theorized that the first thing aliens would see of us was Hitler. Turns out that the first signal broadcast powerful enough to break past Earth's atmosphere was Hitler's opening speech at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, so there's a good chance that's the first communication aliens would pick up. Hopefully they won't judge us too harshly... -
(#12) Our Universe Is a Marble
Men in Black is a weird movie, but no moment in the film is weirder than the end. The camera pulls back through the entire universe just to discover... it's a marble being played with by an alien. If that's true, it makes you wonder why life isn't more bumpy than it already is. -
(#2) Venus Is What Earth Will Become Due to Climate Change
Earth and Venus have been called "twins separated at birth." They have very similar size, mass, and composition... only one sustains life and the other is a galactic wasteland. The reason for that is Venus' atmosphere mostly consists of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide, which has cooked the surface of the planet to 870 degrees Fahrenheit. As we're sure you know, people are pretty concerned about the level of carbon dioxide going up on Earth too.
It might be time to stock up on sunscreen. -
(#4) Time Is Literally Running Out
While some scientists believe the expansion of the universe is accelerating, some theorize that distant celestial bodies only seem that way because we're looking back in time to see them (remember, it takes a while for their light to reach us). So, that means that they were moving faster in the past than they are in now... which means time is slowing down.
How much is it slowing down? We don't know - but if the theory is correct it may just slow to a stop. -
(#11) The Universe Will Collapse In On Itself
According to a paper published in the Physical Review Letters, the existence of dark energy in the universe could mean that we only have a few tens of billions of years left before the universe will collapse in on itself. Apparently, the expansion of the universe is much larger than we thought... which means eventually it'll become too big and come crashing down. Bummer. -
(#8) The Universe Is So Big, We'll Never Meet Another Civilization
There are a lot of planets out there. So many that, statistically speaking, alien life simply has to exist in one form of another. But if that's true... where they heck are they? Well, the Fermi Paradox sees that discrepancy and theorizes that it's either much harder for life to exist than we thought, or more life has existed and simply been destroyed over time. Either way, we'd be very alone.

About This Tool
Humans have a long history of thinking and studying the universe. According to the huge explosion theory that many scientists have consistently supported for centuries, our universe was born about 14 billion years ago. According to the explanation of this theory, the universe was formed 14 billion years ago by the explosion of extremely small and dense matter, and it was from then that time and space, mass, and energy began to be produced.
The exploration of the universe is an extremely complex issue. The universe is a material world, and it is in constant movement and development. The random tool lists 13 interesting theories about the universe that prove the exploration of the universe has never stopped.
