im unironically not impressed by this photo of a black hole thing, just confirms that nerd organizations have too much money to do unimportant stuff that is probably fake anyway
if science wasnt the state religion no one would care about increasingly high resolution images of random things that dont matter. a continuous stream of pure novelties must be brought forth from the sacred halls to maintain the atomic priesthoods authority
even if space stuff is real theres no way spending years of effort and a ton of money to get a high res jpg from the stars can be considered wise when people are still starving and dying of heroin overdoses. its pure fetishization in the literal sense
worshipping the human mind + Science(tm) without the interjection of divinity inevitably leads to a dead end or nihilism so they trot out super new wow high def images of some random space thing once a year to give the masses the illusion that we havent stagnated. its that simple
we all lol at the reddit nerds who are like "wow space is big surely life is meaningless" but few understand the more subtle way that societys emphasis on and fetishization of space is used to reinforce and cultivate an atmosphere of overall social nihilism. its 100% intentional
