The fact is that the bubble was formed by a supernova explosion with geological evidence of the event in the form of (60)Fe formed only in supernovas and probably swept up during the transit through the bubble boundary. Astronomers identified the bubbles existence in the 1970s
Are you talking our Solar System or where America..”the centre of the universe”..resides? No one around them for 2 billion light years… we’re good with that!
I'm so sick of this picture floating around and people calling it a void. That is a picture of a gas cloud obscuring stars in the background and it is no where close to 2 billion light years across. However, that statement is true without the accompanying pic.
Right? I mean, this picture would be impossible to take if we were in that void lol we don't even have a photo of our galaxy, for obvious reasons... We're IN it and have barely sent anything further than our outer solar system.
I heard a band from Liverpool sing some song about surrendering to the Void.
Since it appears that we are part of the Void, and I guess the Void is at war with some outside entity, the band was right to insist this other entity surrender to us. Nobody wants universal intergalactic wars or whatever.
We exist in the infinitesimally tiny spaces between the alien base particles that comprise a much larger structure that is unrecognizable due to our vast differences in scale.
Heart skipped a beat today--a letter from the U.S. Dept of Justice came in the mail. First thought was they're coming after activists for sedition (am a peacekeeper). What it says is am a potential victim of fictitious fundraising, for the GOP. No way that happened. Anyone else get this letter?
Could be that life is more likely to develop in isolated places of the universe because it would be more stable there. Less rogue planets, stars, instant death rays, ect
I’m waiting for the study that determines if we are in a speck of dust on a flower and if we all call out loud enough at once Horton the elephant might hear us.
We live in our local group which is in one of the filaments bordering a void. The Hubble tension is a disparity between the various cosmological models used to fix our position in space. Think of space as a sponge we live on the material around the holes.
There are theories that this void explains the Fermi Paradox. Probably some aliens laughing at the dumbass humans stuck in the void thinking they're all alone and getting depressed over it.
It has occurred to me that we have been banished here because we are naturally and inherently insane. Want proof? 100 million lives lost to war in the 20th century.
Anyone here on earth. Would like to spent 3 hours (from 7-10am) doing their morning walking exercises and at the same time pickup trash to clean up their neighborhoods. I have 12 grabber sticks that you can use...
Literally lol from what I remember that's not even a void, but it's something obscuring stars. There are theories we're in a void, but this photo can't obviously be that void
And even then, "void", in an astronomical context, does not mean totally empty. Just that the concentration of galaxies in that region would be appreciably lower than the universal average.
Right? We've seen the galaxies surrounding us and there's a lot lol I guess it makes better headlines though... But spreads misinformation and misunderstood theories. But I do feel a bit like a party pooper 😂
Old news and the solar system entered the bubble or void 5 million years ago. Interestingly that this is when the Earth's temperature began to decline 6 degrees Celsius to the ice age cycle. Why? Passing through gas clouds heats the sun through capture of molecular hydrogen, sparce in the void.

They put us here……

Smart move.
It's a quarantine zone.
Fucking asshole administration!
Basically they all know we’re crazy as fuck.
Also, the only people that would come here are the speciescidal assholes and the Space Mormons, so, yeah.
Gonna get really uncomfortable in here the next time the universe flushes its toilet.
And that explains why we’re always in deep shit.
but don't want to
be part of it .
Were more mellow
midnite tokers.

I, for one, can't blame them.
