News Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

Is that a correction?

I don't know. But I know the curve is part of the wall of the first room in the queue.

So the galaxarium isn’t going to be the first room, or where the Energy mosaic was?

The new lights look pretty cool at night, not gonna lie..

 

[EJ96]

Looks pretty futuristic to me, just saying.

 

[Nunu]

I like these lights a lot better than the new lightsaber-looking ones.

Since most of the ride takes place in a new building, was there a specific reason why UoE was closed and not have WoL be the queue/preshow/load instead? Was it the concern about maintaining the ride system for UoE in the long run?

I think it was more to do with the fact that they wanted Energy gone.

 

[marni1971]

Energy as-was needed a lot of investment in its infrastructure in the short term.

That gives me a great idea for a name for the land!...

If they had the queue take over Wonders of Life, where could they put the Play Pavilion? Clearly the Play Pavilion is the most important part of this EPCOT overhaul.

Too bad EPCOT never had a pair of buildings intended for hands on exhibits.

Agree! I'm apparently easy to please. I got excited picturing myself walking that at night.

The Big Bang was the formation of the universe, so beforehand there wasn’t even empty space to occupy.

Than what was there? And why did the big bang occur? If theres literally nothing in the void where did all this energy come from?

 

[No Name]

Well I was taught that it was all started by a mouse.

Than what was there? And why did the big bang occur? If theres literally nothing in the void where did all this energy come from?

This is the hardest part of space to explain to people.. When there was nothing there it means nothing. No space, no void, no time, etc. Its like when people ask "what is the universe expanding into". Technically, its no expanding into anything. Its creating space as it expands. There is no other side. As for why the big bang occurred, that's one of the great mysteries of science (like, why did the big bang create more matter than antimatter? )

 

[matt9112]

The big bang is when space and time became one (The Space Time Continuum). And quickly followed with the inflation period of the universe expanding the amount of space right after the big bang exponentially.

This is a basic summary of what we currently understand. You're question is very hard for science to answer as of now we can only detect what happened after the big bang and not before it.

Also keep in mind that this field of science is relatively new and quite likely mainstream theories will change/adapt to new evidence provided in the near future.

Any why did you steal a planet from my childhood?

Any why did you steal a planet from my childhood?

No one really stole it. It is still there, it is still named Pluto, it is just no longer classified as a planet.
