Is there a hole in the universe? »

Posted By pagey 1 year, 8 months ago in Science & Technology

In August 2007, scientists from the University of Minnesota published an astonishing finding in the Astrophysical Journal. The universe, they declared, had a hole in it -- a hole far bigger than anything scientists have ever seen or expected. This "hole" spans almost one billion light years and is six to 10 billion light years from Earth,

    In a later publication they describe a new way to clean large buggers off of telescope lenses.

        so there's space in space. whoda thunk?

        I am always suprised when they sound surprised that they found something unexpected.

        speaking of global warming (we weren't but what the hell, this seems to be a nonsequitor thread.) here I live its been a milder than normal winter. maybe thats why they call it climate change.

        As if bat wings, pternodon, and Venus Fly Traps weren't head-ache enough for Atheists, now they have to try to explain THIS!

        So, we have a void. Perhaps an ancient civilization created a fleet of self-replicating machines for some unknown reason, and something went awry. The machines ate their creators and spread out among home system, munching all the way. and then they spread to the stars, doing their eating thing. As they ate, they created more of their kind from the debris, leaving very little waste behind. Your "void". They will continue to eat their way across the galaxy with their ever-expanding fleet. They pick up a faint signal from unknown territory. It is an old "3 Stooges" re-run. They change course. . . .

        Just a thought.

          Just me or are sock puppets going nuts? Just glanced down at the votes and seems like tens of sock puppets voting. Not a knock on your submission, pagey, it deserves lots of votes. Just noting what seems like a plethora of sock puppets with avatar name methodology = FirstSecondxxxx as in First Name, Second Name, then several random characters.

          What's up with that?

          Maybe God used a giant vaccume cleaner one time, then got distracted with something on TV. Whatever the case, I'd hate to have a ship break down in the middle of that. Waiting a half billion years for a tow-ship traveling only at light speed doesn't sound fun.

            The hole was initially detected by a NASA program studying the spread of radiation emitted from the Big Bang, which scientists believe spawned our universe.
