Huge hole in universe surprises astronomers

[Ikutiera]

The universe has a huge hole in it that dwarfs anything else of its kind. The discovery caught astronomers by surprise.The hole is nearly a billion light-years across. It is not a black hole, which is a small sphere of densely packed matter. Rather, this one is mostly devoid of stars, gas and other normal matter, and it's also strangely empty of the mysterious "dark matter" that permeates the cosmos. Other space voids have been found before, but nothing on this scale.

Yes, I've read this when I woke up. Pretty bizzare to find such a huge space of nothing.
Scientist will have to think about today's theories on creation of space/universe.

[Arthur Gordon Pym]

Maybe it's the area in which the so-called anti-matter prevails?

[Heretik]

No man, there's nothing there. Maybe some dust.

[Agrippa]

Its not the surprising actually and doesnt contradict the "Big Bang" theory because its even likely that in some areas of the Universe no material is present at the moment since there is no even distribution of material to begin with.

[Heretik]

Even distribution of material is impossible, but a "pocket" of nothing a billion light years wide... Just surprising! At least to me.

Depends on the position and conture I'd say. But yes its an interesting finding.

[Zrinski]

Maybe we should go there and check it out.

[Arthur Gordon Pym]

Let's send Stephen Hawking to check it out, he's an expert after all.

He's partially a robot so...

Black Holes

Black holes are composed of condensed matter or antimatter and can have the mass of billion suns but still be smaller than the size of the sun. The existence of black holes has be know for centuries. In 1784, John Michell realized that gravity could attract light and form "dark stars". Michell ideas were published by Pierre Simon Laplace in first editions of an astronomy guide. In 1795, Laplace defined the requirements for a black hole.

According to "Hubble Space Telescope News", massive black holes have been shown to dwell in the center of most galaxies. The massive black holes are so common, nearly every large galaxy has them. The University of Michigan News Release entitled Galaxies and Black Holes: You can't Have One Without the Other provides colored images, that can be electronically downloaded for galaxies.


Computer simulations demonstrate how the Einstein-Rosen Bridge keeps the matter and antimatter black holes separated and the oscillations between the black holes at opposite ends of the wormhole force the black holes to become white holes that eject matter and antimatter in opposite directions forming the spiral arms of stars within the galactic disk.
The white holes are ejecting matter and antimatter from opposite directions into space. The galaxy are slowly spinning as they eject matter and antimatter into spiral arms of stars. The article on Stringy Black Holes by Martijn Derix & Jan Pieter van der Schaar has extensive discussions and solutions on black holes.

We're not talking about black holes here.

actually the gravity means that the matter tends to stick together .Universe is mostly empty anyways

I wouldn't be so sure. There is more than midst the eye.
Dark matter

???
American?

[Musaka]

I know what is that!!!!!!! It is an huge cork that dont allow our universe to leak,khm,khm, somewhere
