Isn't it kind of a good thing that we exist in a comparably empty part of the universe? It has most probably avoided us many catastrophic cosmic events and given life a safe and stable planet to grow.
Exactly! Given the violent, life shredding potential of the universe we see out there, this finding is completely logical…our little tide pool of life in a seething sea of energies
Sure.... Unless you take into account that catastrophic events are often times the engines for change. What we need but currently don't know is the regularity of these types of events. If life needs 100 million years to reach our level but catastrophic events are happening every 50 mil, it's going to take a lot of luck. But what happens if an event happens only every 250 mil years? It's great if you get life that can get to our level. But, if it doesn't, it's a long wait for another go at the life lottery. Basically it's down to a point of view whether it's good or bad.
Our galaxy, the Milky Way, is located within a vast network of galaxy filaments and voids. Specifically, it resides in a region called the Local Sheet, which is a smaller section of the Laniakea Supercluster. The Laniakea Supercluster is a massive network of galaxy filaments that stretches over 500 million light-years across. Within this supercluster, there are several vast voids, including the Supergalactic Void and the Giant Void. Our galaxy is situated near the edge of the Supergalactic Void, which is a relatively empty region of space that stretches over 1.1 billion light-years in diameter. However, we are not directly within a void, but rather in a denser region of the universe. Keep in mind that the universe's structure is complex and dynamic, with galaxies and galaxy clusters moving through the vast expanse of space. So, our position within the universe's web-like structure is not fixed and has changed over cosmic time.
@@StainlessPot lit? It's gonna be pretty uneventful, not much is going to crash at all relatively speaking, they're just gonna merge and make a monstrously large galaxy
Yes absolutely right. Thanks for taking the time to correct some misleading points in this video. It has already been reported that we are in one of the filaments, and close to the void. Though the void is kind of making a semi circular structure. I just hope that thing does not grow as this video is suggesting.
@@StainlessPot New data suggests we won't collide with Andromeda anywhere near as soon as they thought. They're not even certain that they will collide.
Andromeda is 2.5 million light years away. Not to mention the various star clusters around us like the large and small Magellan clouds and the Virgo supercluster. So we're not quite alone.
but this is like 2-3 larger galaxies around us. Look at the other places in space. Sometimes you have hundreds of the galaxies that are close by, or even galaxies that are colliding - little space for anything. Probably life ins these dense galaxies spaces is much more likely to extinct quicker before intelligent life developed...

As an Australian, I can relate to that isolated feeling! Jokes aside, Humans as a life form see our reality through a lens of perception that is biologically limited. We all share the same base perception (we all see a tree or a rock) but our consciousness allows us to build individual layers upon this base perception. These layers give rise to various religions and popular beliefs. Science is no different, we run tests, do math and apply the results in the form of another layer of perception. This does not mean that we always get it right, and scientist are more than happy to admit this. The reality is that we may never be able to actually see reality because of our biological constraints. Our DNA is our blueprint to perception and all life forms on this planet share the same original source in earths Gene pool. This begs a question, If life formed on another planet, with a different DNA pool, could we exist within their perception? Or could they exist within our perception? The entire universe is a blank canvas of nothing but atoms, until a conscious mind begins to paint a picture on it.

how about life without DNA, a nonbiological lifeform, like some sort of plasma or energy race of sentient beings who have a method of attaining cognitive thought without a neuro network as we know it. just because we cannot fathom it, or quantify it with our current primitive means, does not mean that it does not exist, or that it is impossible for it to be.

Aliens saw us develop adrenaline and started moving our galaxy out of the community. “We know where this goes, not having those in the galactic community again.”
Fermi paradox is the most naive thing ever. First we cannot even define what life is, then there are the scale differences that prohibit any contacts etc. Just imagine if our bioflora, bacteria in our digestive system are conscious beings and they have been sending out signals to contact other life forms and get no answer. Hahaha, they in your guts right now are wondering if they are alone in the universe. The next big question is life expectancy. Imagine life forms with a lifespan of eg. 10 minutes and they can achive in that 10 mins everything what we can achieve in our lifespan. Still contact is impossible. Of course you can consider that other side of the scale too and a lifeform with a lifepan of 1 million years might seem to be motionless, like a rock. Go and try to communicate. Hence even the galaxies could be lifeforms themselves. So this Fermi paradox is just plain off.
The Milky Way might live in an area of lower density but not a void. There's a big difference between a bubble of lower density and a void. There's just too many galaxies going out to tens of millions to hundreds of millions and finally to billions of light years. If we were in a void there would be some galaxies at the various distances but not what we see in the cosmos today. Remember the Great Attractor is out there and is less than a half billion lyr's away. The Great Attractor is influencing millions and millions of galaxies including the Milky Way and the local group. Would a void really be a void with the Great Attractor in it with everything it is attracting to it?
@@wesleystaples369 I wasn't making a religious statement. There's an extremely powerful gravitational anomaly out in the cosmos called the Great Attractor. If you want to bring religion into it that's on you just leave me out of that discussion.
but, the great attactor could be the one causing voids, once a galaxy is closer to it, it will accelarate leaving other galaxies behind, and maybe the Milky way is one of those galaxies
Basically, our view may be distorted, and the laws of physics have barley been tapped. Outside of our void, physics may be harsher in a way that life cannot happen. Which means we could be truly alone in a universe we understand only as far as we know we're wrong. Nice paper
@@whiteowl87 shouldn't you be studying the probability of abiogenesis? According to many people life arising from nonliving material unguidingly is basically a 0% chance.
The Boötes Void or supervoid is one of many, time will pass faster for everything within the void due to its lower mass, making it appear as though everything is accelerating away from each other. Time dilation should be taken into account and applied to formulae to make them more precise or accurate and how that might relate to more dense regions of space and subtracted from any 'dark energy or matter' we are allocating to explain discrepancies we're finding in our calculations!
@@ArnoldJudasRimmer.. that's nothing, as the Universe expands it will become less dense so its acceleration will 'appear' to speed up but it will be time itself that will speed up and that might account for some of the 'dark energy' we apply to the acceleration of the expansion of the universe.
The thing that's funny to me is we live on a little cul-de-sac on the edge of the suburban-rural divide. Basically, the Milky Way + Andromeda is a little end-point along one of the filaments. A quite little place on the edge of the suburbs but not quite in the untamed wilds of the void. Further, within our galaxy itself, we live in a quite area on the edge of an arm that's about 2/3rds of the way out from the galactic core, so again, a nice little place on the edge of the suburbs. We basically have the equivalent of a quite white picket fence house in terms of both the galaxy and universe at large. : )

Maybe the "voids" are what we think dark matter is.. could our universe be inter-dimensional, like transparencies laid one on top of the other to create a complete picture, and the dark matter is just matter on a different transparency than the one we are on? Is that why there are "voids"?
Very interesting and best science news at present... Very very important! Happy to be alive in these times of huge discoveries Addition: There are a lot of things we do not know and most are theories...
This is misleading. There are many galaxies around us. Andromeda which is comparable to the Milky Way is only 2.5 million light years away, not to mention the many dwarf galaxies close by.
It is kind of difficult to define what we mean by void. What is space, what is a void. By void do we mean space that is empty of macro objects but still full of energy/mass, or do we mean a complete void that has an absence of all energy. > To consider a void that is absent of all energy or stuff is difficult, but the thought can lead to some profound ideas about what the universe may be. Imagine a realm void of all energy and an absolute emptiness yet with infinite size. In a true void concepts of infinitely small and infinitely large would have no meaning; distance would have no meaning. And if such a completely empty void could exist would it have a concept of time without energy or motion by which to give any concept of duration. Could a complete emptiness, a void expanse both infinitely small and infinitely large exist for a period when the is nothing by which to measure a period of time. Could that void have a component of duration or time or would it just be a static void expanse. What is size in a complete void expanse? Could that expanse have a boundary, and infinitely large or small boundary? And if that immeasurable boundary should expand, would we call that duration, time? > We are left asking the questions: "What is a bounded or infinite void? and if bounded does it have an expression of time? And if it has an expression of time, which came first, which has precedence the void or time?" > We know and understand far less about the universe around us than the illusion of knowledge that we deceive our own minds with daily.
@@sathanas420 Nah, you are missing the point. The concept of a vacuum has an infinite number of states. To say Vacuum has no meaning in itself. It's like saying it has a temperature which unqualified is meaningless :) What is most often refer to as a void still has stuff in it, so is it really a void? Do we call a void containing stuff space? But space is really nothing more the an abstract measurement between 2 objects. Semantics :/
@@LinkageAX It's OK, your missing the point. Everyone does. Space is an ambiguous term that is not well defined. Void and space are often interchanged which adds to the ambiguity. Vacuum is another ambiguous word often used. > Do we live in a void? Well, the entire universe no doubt exist entirely within a void, so yes. But is the existence of a cosmos in that void still a void? Well, No, it full of stuff so we don't live in a void. Yes *and* No are the correct answer.
If the amount of matter in our local cosmic area is so significantly lower than typically found in the rest of the universe then we are experiencing a far faster passage of time compared to everywhere else in existance due to the significantly weaker gravitational fields. We could be literally experiencing 1000 years of history while a day passes for the rest of the universe beyond this void.
@unknownaliasuk7707 Clearly you know nothing about the distribution of galaxies a billion light years around our location. Go and look it up before you comment more useless words.
Our galaxy, the Milky Way, is located in a region of space known as the Local Group, which is a relatively small collection of galaxies including the Andromeda Galaxy, the Triangulum Galaxy, and several dozen smaller galaxies. The Local Group is part of the Virgo Supercluster, which is itself a component of the larger Laniakea Supercluster. While the Milky Way is not in the densest region of space, it’s also not in a particularly empty part of space. The regions between galaxy clusters, known as voids, are significantly less dense than the areas where galaxy clusters reside. The Milky Way is situated in a “cosmic web” Actually correct information right here, no YT click bait
Yes... Galactic voids are a key component in the grand structure of the universe. On a large scale, the universe is not uniformly distributed; it consists of galaxies grouped together to form filaments and clusters, with voids as the spaces between these structures. The study of voids helps scientists understand how matter in the universe is distributed and how cosmic structures form and evolve. These voids also provide insight into the process of galaxy formation, because they show regions where matter did not accumulate to form galaxies 🥰🥰🧐🧐
0:39 Hold on, hold on, I thought the Milky Way was located near the edge of a cosmic void, the Local Hole, not smack in the middle of the void? Also, the void pictured here at this timestamp looks like the Bootes Void. That's definitely not the void that the Milky Way resides within. What's going on here?

I think they just want it to be explained as thoroughly as it can be, the more explained about it the better. Some people just want to know as much about a topic that interests them as much as possible. Some people might just want it to be explained for a lengthy amount of time because it may take the right combination of words for the information to really click in their brain. And some people might just want to listen to the same thing being talked about for a long time so they can listen to it like a podcast while they do their daily routine or something, what I'm saying is there's a lot of reasons that someone might want that. Or, to "sum it up" in a few words... They are not the same person as you and may want/require more information to understand something fully. Before you say "see, you didn't have to say all of that, it was summed up in that very last sentence!" Or something of the like.. yes. It was. However, without the previous text explained it further than what the summed up text provided. And that's my very point.
The Milky Way galaxy is located in the Laniakea Supercluster, which also contains the Virgo Cluster and the Local Group. The Laniakea Supercluster is 500 million light-years long and is home to around 100,000 galaxies. The name Laniakea is Hawaiian for "open skies" or "immense heaven".

We do live in a great void, but that's nothing new. They were talking about that when I was in college back in the 1970's. I just love it when we re-discover stuff we already knew. It demonstrates to me that we have so much knowledge that a lot gets lost from generation to generation. We've probably reached the limit of what our species knows, ,or even can know.
Honestly, this theory reminds me of Einstein's Fishbowl analogy, where he described our limitations in understanding physics on a universal scale, comparing our observational knowledge of the universe to a fish in a bowl being able to come up with a set of physics equations that make sense to us in the bowl, not knowing that our observations are based on a distorted observational reality.
Maybe it's a good thing that we live in the middle of a void? What if the rest of the universe is just some Warhammer 40K-esque horror fest, and our void is the one thing that keeps us out of the skirmish. Probably not, sure, but we don't know until we know, right?
It's possible, but then again, when you look up into space and see everything from one small atom, seeing in an endless view of stars, it can feel pretty lonely knowing/guesstimating how far away they are. We just don't have any other view to compare.

I think that the survey that posits us as residing inside a void needs a review. No matter could be born inside the voids; the only way matter could be found inside the voids is if it was slingshot during the expansion phase, but there was no matter anywhere during this phase. And, for matter to be slingshot into a void after it was created would take an enormous amount of energy, which is highly unlikely. In any case, any matter that found its way into a void would disolve into electromagnetic fileds within a blink of an eye, cosmologically speaking.
How is this new? My physics teacher told me this back in 2006. he told us we live in a very calm part of the universe and that those areas are the only option for advanced?life.

Well, what happened to the local cluster of which our galaxy and Andromeda are a part? Individual stars are far apart but galaxies are very close together in relation to their size within the grand coils of the universe. The great voids are beyond these coils not within them!
So is that why UFOs are so intrigued by Earth and is that why we are the only known life in the Milky Way? Because we were unique enough to evolve and adapt in a void? So how alien could life outside a void look?
The discovery of this cosmic void challenges the principle of a uniformly filled universe, which is a cornerstone of modern cosmology. If voids of this magnitude are more common than we thought, what does this mean for the standard cosmological model, and what other foundational principles might need reevaluation?🤔
Request to you: Suppose: we managed to “improve” the Michelson-Morley experiment so that with its help the result of the experiment was determined; speed on an airplane is 300, 350, 400 meters per second. Question for you: what will this mean for BIG SCIENCE?
If the universe in it’s entirety is infinitely large and we run time and the universe’s expansion backwards until it is of infinite density, it would still be infinitely large. To make assumptions based on what we can see in the observable universe is akin to making assumptions about the oceans by looking at an infinitely minute drop of sea water.
How about the obvious which is the universe is infinite, and big bangs happen in various places, so not all visible matter is from the same big bang. What we can see is a combination of matter originating on some kind of big bang, but also matter disturbed by that. Our big bang may be the most recent in our section of the universe. First off, this could account for the lack of uniformity. And then, we can get past this "ego centric" idea of a singular big bang. Or even that singular concept way of thinking.
That means time is computed differently. So everything outside of the Milky Way galaxy that we’re observing, is a different age and distance (light year) then we had determined. Yes?

Ya know, this is potentially a solution to the Fermi Paradox. Statistically there are probably very few planets in the observable universe capable of supporting life. If our galaxy is this isolated, it would make sense that it would be difficult to discover us, let alone communicate with or visit us.
MOND is not a "theory" though (expecially because we know Newton's law of gravity is not the correct description), it's an application of a fudge factor to match galactic rotation curves to presumed masses based on luminosity with the goal of getting rid of the need for dark matter to do the same. It gives off the same feel as a programmer being unable to explain or fix a bug just adding "+1" somewhere because then it works, mostly.
Something about dark energy and gravity are the same force at different values too with a negative non zero vaccum energy state above -1ev . I don’t remember who said that but it helps put the pieces together I wish we could test it.
No lol we only see in the past because the light the stars emit take years to arrive so what we are seeing is what that star was like when the light from it first started to travel or shine outward.. should watch documentaries about how that works cause I don’t wanna explain it

How can voids challenge the frequency of the development of life, civilizations and interstellar travel? I am lost. Galaxies are still a thing, ain’t they?
I have an existential quandary about this. If we are in the middle of a void does that mean for good or worse we have a less chance of finding intelligent life? It like our galaxy cluster is an island in the middle of large ocean. We are possibly cursed to missout on deeper exploration of the universe, but maybe blessed to be well hidden if dark forest theory is true.
To me, it would make more sense that we would find out that each Galaxy would exist in an area the is surrounded by a large empty space. Lets make a few guesses. First - We are pretty sure that our Solar System is far away from the next closest Solar Systems in our Galaxy, and so on, and so on. We have also determined that our Solar System works this way. The host star, our Sun is pretty much in the center, with the planets, and other stuff (leftovers) revolving around it. We are also pretty sure, that each planet had to evolve by ''clearing it's orbital path', by sucking up, or rejecting all of the matter around it. This gives the planet the space it needs to traverse it's way around the Sun without running into other planets. If the premis works here, then why not everywhere else? Second - Galaxies are massive objects. I would imagine that they all did the same thing. They scooped up a lot of matter as they formed, in order to create the structures that we have observed from here, on this little blue dot. And since all of the galaxies are traveling appart from one another, these voids would natural occure. As for what was said about traversing Galaxies? I am not worried about being able to Galaxy Hop. Planet hop? Star hopping in our Galaxy, would be enough for me. My guess (or hunch), is that we will find voids between all galaxies, along with a lot of 'rouge planets', or possible rouge solar sysems wandering around in the voids. Now doesn't that all sound like fun!!!

The topography of the universe over time and how it changes nothing but our perceptions of time and distance. If dark matter changes states between a liquid and gaseous state then there would have been a time where almost all of the dark matter cooled, condensed and collapsed. This liquid state contraction could possibly have led to direct collapse black holes and galaxies. The condensing of dark matter may have also contributed to that uniformity of temperature. If the dark matter was in its liquid state then baryonic and dark matter would have been much more concentrated. This would have resulted in deeper gravity wells. The time in these gravity wells to us would seem to be moving slower to us. But due to dark matter condensing the baryonic matter would also have been cooled and rushing together. Once stars were formed and black holes became active the ratio of liquid to gaseous dark matter would have decreased over time thus affecting the evolution of particle masses. And making the gravity wells progressively shallower and larger in diameter over time. Galaxy clusters would have evaporated almost all of their liquid dark matter resulting in the shallowest part of the gravity well being near the canter of the cluster. Also part of redshift is due to the difference depth of the average gravity well at that point in time compared to now. The slope of that line would also have decreased over time. Light red shifts as it climbs out of a gravity well. Thus the further you go back in time the more light is redshifted. This would leave everything the same with the exception of our perception that the universe is expanding. Also if a big portion of the redshift is from climbing out of a deeper gravity well then we are not looking as far into the past as we think.
"Universal Fluctuations" within a pre disposed variance of particle acceleration, will be void of esoteric rhetoric, if an only if, a congruent measure of sub space is a verifiable deduction. The theoretical basis of "form" and "meaning" must persist as a singular procurement of what is "said" to exist, irrespective of how such "existence" is derived. Let us engage a pedestrian example. When you are baking cookies, the outer part of the cookie will expand faster than the middle. Is the rate of expansion a plausible, dialectical , coherent extrapolation of "time" in conjunction with the "force" of kinetic energy? Does such perception dictate "language" as an ambiguous , illusory concept of how reality is perceived? Indubitably! Outstanding Video!
This means that if we want to visit any galaxies beyond Andromeda, we would probably need to invent a way to create stable, long-distance worm holes. Heck, we probably would even need that for Andromeda.
As we can’t know what exists beyond the observable horizon, how can we speak of the average distribution of matter throughout the universe in it’s entirety.
It certainly makes sense. But the truth is we still can't be sure. We still have to deal with the fact that humanity has only one spot in the entire galaxy from which to observe the universe. Anyone can tell you that it's best to observe from multiple angles. Until we can create observatories beyond the Solar System and means in which to send information faster than light, we may as well consider all of humanity's efforts to be those of a single confused observer.
We're not in a void. Maybe in a less "populated" area, sure, but it's not a void. The Milky Way has ca. 30 Galaxies "near" it, varying in size. The Canis Major dwarf is 25k lys away, Segue One is 75k lys away, Sag DEG is 70k lys away, and we have The Large and Small Magellanic Cloud "nearby," the former 160k and the latter 190k lys away. The list goes on with other galaxies ranging from 205k lys up to 3.065 million lys away. There's a whole smattering of galaxies around us. So the claim of a 2 billion ly expanse of "nothingness" with the Milky Way in the center doesn't work here.
I see this black void as another dimension that our creator put us in, if this is what it really is, there are too many stars, planets and galaxies with us in this black void for us to think otherwise. Our Creator is dimensional and we're just in another dimension, if this is the case. Our Creator knows what He is doing and why.
maybe he purposely put the milky way galaxy in a 360° cubed location to emphasize that the big bang is dung and needs a D. N. R. Label put on the silly big bang "Therory". He smacked the milk way galaxy at its location then stretched the heavens (Isaiah 44:24) and designated the galaxies to their locations to give the synical, deep thinkers busy with many hypothesis' to rattle their questioning him.

I am most interested in the possibility that local space rips could tear local things down to quarks? We're basically saying that the background relative vacuum accelerates space/time growth within the vacuum bubble, right? How would a "small" local space rip differ on the time scale from a universal one? Is the void itself the cumulative effect of a time rip originating presumably from its center, eating itself from the inside out? Would there be some kind of cosmic front, expanding bubble (but no homogenous, rather patchy) of this rip phenomenon that disappears intervening matter by dispersal? All these voids look like bubbles in a thick soup. Bubbles let surface tension structure them. Such surface tension subject to spontaneous collapse. An empty enough bubble could collapse; galaxies or clusters on opposite poles of the bubble would suddenly be gravitationally adjacent? No mention of any of this (except some vague suggestion of local expansion) from you guys, which silence I find disturbing. Is there bad news you're not telling us?
In my opinion... So, would the Space that a Galaxy is in, be spinning? (Which would facilitate the formation of Galaxies? Duh!) Like whirlpools in a river traps leaves and twigs, so the stars in a Galaxy spin around a common center? (Yes, I know, using a three Dimensional example to demonstrate a four Dimensional occurrence.) And as far as rapid expansion smoothing out anything, isn't it rapid expansions kind of thing to cause eddies and whirlpools?
I think it’s possible that our 3D space is warped in a 4D shape. Like you can bend a paper in a 3rd dimension. You can then look from the point of view of any particular galaxy and see a void and clusters everywhere else because of the way the plane is bent. I’m a creationist who doesn’t believe the Big Bang was possible, but this idea would line up what we see with the background radiation.
These videos always suggest we have it mostly figured out with just a bit of tweaking to go. Not even close to the reality. Just admit we have NO clue and no way to validate what we THINK we are measuring. 💡
While a cool (possible discovery) two things come to mind. 1. Lets say this “Void” things is true, while it might reshape our theories and understanding of the Universe, by the time we really begin to understand it Humanity will likely be on its way out. 2. We just recently had our FIRST Man Made object leave our own Solar System. So it’s not like our Exploration of Space is being Impeded by this Void LOL
All praise to the All Mighty,.. Can the void be a layer we haven't break through yet? In islam it is believed that we live in a bubble/ void/ layer I encourage those to seek more info about islam and space, and have a clear thinking and be in
Looking at some of the images you show, I can't tell if we are in a void or not. Based upon the kne where the Milky Way is in a green color zone, it looks like we're not in a void. Then the images with the black spaces looks like we are. So, are we in a void or not?
My guess is every galaxy exists in a local void having drawn to itself everything free floating near it. There is a giant black hole in the center as I understand it. Powerful gravity well sitting there. It would be surprising if it didn't create a void around it.
I thought this RUclips channel was an official NASA channel. Why do you use "NASA" in your title and email? I'm not sure about the accuracy of some of your information.
If your galaxy was in a dense cluster it would appear that the observable universe is condensing not expanding. This throws the Big Bang theory out the window and proposes the universe could be much older than we have estimated.
Isn't it kind of a good thing that we exist in a comparably empty part of the universe? It has most probably avoided us many catastrophic cosmic events and given life a safe and stable planet to grow.
OK with me
Exactly! Given the violent, life shredding potential of the universe we see out there, this finding is completely logical…our little tide pool of life in a seething sea of energies
Sure.... Unless you take into account that catastrophic events are often times the engines for change. What we need but currently don't know is the regularity of these types of events. If life needs 100 million years to reach our level but catastrophic events are happening every 50 mil, it's going to take a lot of luck. But what happens if an event happens only every 250 mil years? It's great if you get life that can get to our level. But, if it doesn't, it's a long wait for another go at the life lottery. Basically it's down to a point of view whether it's good or bad.
@@diGritz1way to miss the point. we would need a lot more luck if we were not in a void.

Our galaxy, the Milky Way, is located within a vast network of galaxy filaments and voids. Specifically, it resides in a region called the Local Sheet, which is a smaller section of the Laniakea Supercluster.
The Laniakea Supercluster is a massive network of galaxy filaments that stretches over 500 million light-years across. Within this supercluster, there are several vast voids, including the Supergalactic Void and the Giant Void.
Our galaxy is situated near the edge of the Supergalactic Void, which is a relatively empty region of space that stretches over 1.1 billion light-years in diameter. However, we are not directly within a void, but rather in a denser region of the universe.
Keep in mind that the universe's structure is complex and dynamic, with galaxies and galaxy clusters moving through the vast expanse of space. So, our position within the universe's web-like structure is not fixed and has changed over cosmic time.

Yes absolutely right. Thanks for taking the time to correct some misleading points in this video. It has already been reported that we are in one of the filaments, and close to the void. Though the void is kind of making a semi circular structure. I just hope that thing does not grow as this video is suggesting.
@@StainlessPot New data suggests we won't collide with Andromeda anywhere near as soon as they thought. They're not even certain that they will collide.
Andromeda is 2.5 million light years away. Not to mention the various star clusters around us like the large and small Magellan clouds and the Virgo supercluster. So we're not quite alone.
@@jerryr536 Exactly my thoughts
but this is like 2-3 larger galaxies around us. Look at the other places in space. Sometimes you have hundreds of the galaxies that are close by, or even galaxies that are colliding - little space for anything. Probably life ins these dense galaxies spaces is much more likely to extinct quicker before intelligent life developed...

Jokes aside, Humans as a life form see our reality through a lens of perception that is biologically limited. We all share the same base perception (we all see a tree or a rock) but our consciousness allows us to build individual layers upon this base perception. These layers give rise to various religions and popular beliefs. Science is no different, we run tests, do math and apply the results in the form of another layer of perception. This does not mean that we always get it right, and scientist are more than happy to admit this. The reality is that we may never be able to actually see reality because of our biological constraints. Our DNA is our blueprint to perception and all life forms on this planet share the same original source in earths Gene pool.
This begs a question, If life formed on another planet, with a different DNA pool, could we exist within their perception? Or could they exist within our perception?
The entire universe is a blank canvas of nothing but atoms, until a conscious mind begins to paint a picture on it.

Potential answer to the Fermi paradox - if be accident then we are in a safe part of the dark forest - if deliberate then we are in a zoo.
Fermi paradox is the most naive thing ever. First we cannot even define what life is, then there are the scale differences that prohibit any contacts etc. Just imagine if our bioflora, bacteria in our digestive system are conscious beings and they have been sending out signals to contact other life forms and get no answer. Hahaha, they in your guts right now are wondering if they are alone in the universe.
The next big question is life expectancy. Imagine life forms with a lifespan of eg. 10 minutes and they can achive in that 10 mins everything what we can achieve in our lifespan. Still contact is impossible.
Of course you can consider that other side of the scale too and a lifeform with a lifepan of 1 million years might seem to be motionless, like a rock. Go and try to communicate.
Hence even the galaxies could be lifeforms themselves.
So this Fermi paradox is just plain off.
The Milky Way might live in an area of lower density but not a void. There's a big difference between a bubble of lower density and a void. There's just too many galaxies going out to tens of millions to hundreds of millions and finally to billions of light years. If we were in a void there would be some galaxies at the various distances but not what we see in the cosmos today. Remember the Great Attractor is out there and is less than a half billion lyr's away. The Great Attractor is influencing millions and millions of galaxies including the Milky Way and the local group. Would a void really be a void with the Great Attractor in it with everything it is attracting to it?

Basically, our view may be distorted, and the laws of physics have barley been tapped. Outside of our void, physics may be harsher in a way that life cannot happen. Which means we could be truly alone in a universe we understand only as far as we know we're wrong. Nice paper
@@whiteowl87 shouldn't you be studying the probability of abiogenesis? According to many people life arising from nonliving material unguidingly is basically a 0% chance.
The Boötes Void or supervoid is one of many, time will pass faster for everything within the void due to its lower mass, making it appear as though everything is accelerating away from each other. Time dilation should be taken into account and applied to formulae to make them more precise or accurate and how that might relate to more dense regions of space and subtracted from any 'dark energy or matter' we are allocating to explain discrepancies we're finding in our calculations!
That was an awesome bit of info man!
@@ArnoldJudasRimmer.. that's nothing, as the Universe expands it will become less dense so its acceleration will 'appear' to speed up but it will be time itself that will speed up and that might account for some of the 'dark energy' we apply to the acceleration of the expansion of the universe.
The thing that's funny to me is we live on a little cul-de-sac on the edge of the suburban-rural divide. Basically, the Milky Way + Andromeda is a little end-point along one of the filaments. A quite little place on the edge of the suburbs but not quite in the untamed wilds of the void. Further, within our galaxy itself, we live in a quite area on the edge of an arm that's about 2/3rds of the way out from the galactic core, so again, a nice little place on the edge of the suburbs. We basically have the equivalent of a quite white picket fence house in terms of both the galaxy and universe at large. : )

It is kind of difficult to define what we mean by void. What is space, what is a void. By void do we mean space that is empty of macro objects but still full of energy/mass, or do we mean a complete void that has an absence of all energy.
>
To consider a void that is absent of all energy or stuff is difficult, but the thought can lead to some profound ideas about what the universe may be. Imagine a realm void of all energy and an absolute emptiness yet with infinite size. In a true void concepts of infinitely small and infinitely large would have no meaning; distance would have no meaning. And if such a completely empty void could exist would it have a concept of time without energy or motion by which to give any concept of duration. Could a complete emptiness, a void expanse both infinitely small and infinitely large exist for a period when the is nothing by which to measure a period of time. Could that void have a component of duration or time or would it just be a static void expanse.
What is size in a complete void expanse? Could that expanse have a boundary, and infinitely large or small boundary? And if that immeasurable boundary should expand, would we call that duration, time?
>
We are left asking the questions: "What is a bounded or infinite void? and if bounded does it have an expression of time? And if it has an expression of time, which came first, which has precedence the void or time?"
>
We know and understand far less about the universe around us than the illusion of knowledge that we deceive our own minds with daily.

If the amount of matter in our local cosmic area is so significantly lower than typically found in the rest of the universe then we are experiencing a far faster passage of time compared to everywhere else in existance due to the significantly weaker gravitational fields.
We could be literally experiencing 1000 years of history while a day passes for the rest of the universe beyond this void.

Our galaxy, the Milky Way, is located in a region of space known as the Local Group, which is a relatively small collection of galaxies including the Andromeda Galaxy, the Triangulum Galaxy, and several dozen smaller galaxies. The Local Group is part of the Virgo Supercluster, which is itself a component of the larger Laniakea Supercluster.
While the Milky Way is not in the densest region of space, it’s also not in a particularly empty part of space. The regions between galaxy clusters, known as voids, are significantly less dense than the areas where galaxy clusters reside.

Yes... Galactic voids are a key component in the grand structure of the universe. On a large scale, the universe is not uniformly distributed; it consists of galaxies grouped together to form filaments and clusters, with voids as the spaces between these structures. The study of voids helps scientists understand how matter in the universe is distributed and how cosmic structures form and evolve. These voids also provide insight into the process of galaxy formation, because they show regions where matter did not accumulate to form galaxies 🥰🥰🧐🧐

We do live in a great void, but that's nothing new. They were talking about that when I was in college back in the 1970's. I just love it when we re-discover stuff we already knew.

We don’t tho…
Honestly, this theory reminds me of Einstein's Fishbowl analogy, where he described our limitations in understanding physics on a universal scale, comparing our observational knowledge of the universe to a fish in a bowl being able to come up with a set of physics equations that make sense to us in the bowl, not knowing that our observations are based on a distorted observational reality.
Maybe it's a good thing that we live in the middle of a void? What if the rest of the universe is just some Warhammer 40K-esque horror fest, and our void is the one thing that keeps us out of the skirmish. Probably not, sure, but we don't know until we know, right?
Inhomogenous Cosmology, not MOND, explains what we are seeing.
It's possible, but then again, when you look up into space and see everything from one small atom, seeing in an endless view of stars, it can feel pretty lonely knowing/guesstimating how far away they are. We just don't have any other view to compare.

I think that the survey that posits us as residing inside a void needs a review. No matter could be born inside the voids; the only way matter could be found inside the voids is if it was slingshot during the expansion phase, but there was no matter anywhere during this phase. And, for matter to be slingshot into a void after it was created would take an enormous amount of energy, which is highly unlikely. In any case, any matter that found its way into a void would disolve into electromagnetic fileds within a blink of an eye, cosmologically speaking.

So is that why UFOs are so intrigued by Earth and is that why we are the only known life in the Milky Way? Because we were unique enough to evolve and adapt in a void? So how alien could life outside a void look?
The discovery of this cosmic void challenges the principle of a uniformly filled universe, which is a cornerstone of modern cosmology. If voids of this magnitude are more common than we thought, what does this mean for the standard cosmological model, and what other foundational principles might need reevaluation?🤔

It would bend their little brains.
If the universe in it’s entirety is infinitely large and we run time and the universe’s expansion backwards until it is of infinite density, it would still be infinitely large.
To make assumptions based on what we can see in the observable universe is akin to making assumptions about the oceans by looking at an infinitely minute drop of sea water.
Where does Laniakea fit into this picture of the Local Hole? Based on the image at 7:20, our Virgo supercluster seems to have no significant hole ...?
How about the obvious which is the universe is infinite, and big bangs happen in various places, so not all visible matter is from the same big bang.
What we can see is a combination of matter originating on some kind of big bang, but also matter disturbed by that. Our big bang may be the most recent in our section of the universe.
First off, this could account for the lack of uniformity.
And then, we can get past this "ego centric" idea of a singular big bang. Or even that singular concept way of thinking.

I just watched a video about the Milky Way Galaxy colliding with the Andromeda Galaxy. What kind of "void" is that?
Interesting because Gnostics say yaldaboath was thrown into the void and created our reality. In the abyss which is surrounded by the true reality.
MOND is not a "theory" though (expecially because we know Newton's law of gravity is not the correct description), it's an application of a fudge factor to match galactic rotation curves to presumed masses based on luminosity with the goal of getting rid of the need for dark matter to do the same. It gives off the same feel as a programmer being unable to explain or fix a bug just adding "+1" somewhere because then it works, mostly.
Yay, more science!
Something about dark energy and gravity are the same force at different values too with a negative non zero vaccum energy state above -1ev . I don’t remember who said that but it helps put the pieces together I wish we could test it.
So we have looked in the past, but what about the future, can we point the JWTS to the direction of the future and see what we see?
No lol we only see in the past because the light the stars emit take years to arrive so what we are seeing is what that star was like when the light from it first started to travel or shine outward.. should watch documentaries about how that works cause I don’t wanna explain it
Imagine you live in the middle of the Australian outback. But in a big beautiful neighborhood surrounded by hundreds of houses and people. Grocery store, hospital, everything you need. BUT it’s in the middle of the outback with no one around your neighborhood. Kinda nice. I guess idgaf if there’s no one else else. Got everything I need where I’m at
We just live in a rural galaxy that wants to live with few neighbors, rather than in a crowded, urban neighborhood.
How can voids challenge the frequency of the development of life, civilizations and interstellar travel? I am lost. Galaxies are still a thing, ain’t they?
I have an existential quandary about this. If we are in the middle of a void does that mean for good or worse we have a less chance of finding intelligent life? It like our galaxy cluster is an island in the middle of large ocean. We are possibly cursed to missout on deeper exploration of the universe, but maybe blessed to be well hidden if dark forest theory is true.
To me, it would make more sense that we would find out that each Galaxy would exist in an area the is surrounded by a large empty space. Lets make a few guesses.
First -
We are pretty sure that our Solar System is far away from the next closest Solar Systems in our Galaxy, and so on, and so on. We have also determined that our Solar System works this way.
The host star, our Sun is pretty much in the center, with the planets, and other stuff (leftovers) revolving around it. We are also pretty sure, that each planet had to evolve by ''clearing it's orbital path', by sucking up, or rejecting all of the matter around it. This gives the planet the space it needs to traverse it's way around the Sun without running into other planets. If the premis works here, then why not everywhere else?
Second -
Galaxies are massive objects. I would imagine that they all did the same thing. They scooped up a lot of matter as they formed, in order to create the structures that we have observed from here, on this little blue dot. And since all of the galaxies are traveling appart from one another, these voids would natural occure.
As for what was said about traversing Galaxies? I am not worried about being able to Galaxy Hop. Planet hop? Star hopping in our Galaxy, would be enough for me.
My guess (or hunch), is that we will find voids between all galaxies, along with a lot of 'rouge planets', or possible rouge solar sysems wandering around in the voids. Now doesn't that all sound like fun!!!
Isaiah 45:12 (JPOT) I, even I, have made the earth, and created man upon it; I, even My hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.
Our galaxy is starting to combine into another. That's a crazy thing to think about. But the process of two galaxies combining takes hundred billions of years to do so.
Recent studies, my foot. I remember reading, some time ago, that we live in a void that is located in a 'super' void.
You maybe thinking of the Solar System, which is a bit strange in itself.
I've been outside milky way and I find this accurate. I had a hard time going back to our current time but it is easy now to travel from Earth to Great Attractor.
The topography of the universe over time and how it changes nothing but our perceptions of time and distance.
If dark matter changes states between a liquid and gaseous state then there would have been a time where almost all of the dark matter cooled, condensed and collapsed. This liquid state contraction could possibly have led to direct collapse black holes and galaxies. The condensing of dark matter may have also contributed to that uniformity of temperature.
If the dark matter was in its liquid state then baryonic and dark matter would have been much more concentrated. This would have resulted in deeper gravity wells. The time in these gravity wells to us would seem to be moving slower to us. But due to dark matter condensing the baryonic matter would also have been cooled and rushing together.
Once stars were formed and black holes became active the ratio of liquid to gaseous dark matter would have decreased over time thus affecting the evolution of particle masses. And making the gravity wells progressively shallower and larger in diameter over time. Galaxy clusters would have evaporated almost all of their liquid dark matter resulting in the shallowest part of the gravity well being near the canter of the cluster. Also part of redshift is due to the difference depth of the average gravity well at that point in time compared to now. The slope of that line would also have decreased over time.
Light red shifts as it climbs out of a gravity well. Thus the further you go back in time the more light is redshifted. This would leave everything the same with the exception of our perception that the universe is expanding. Also if a big portion of the redshift is from climbing out of a deeper gravity well then we are not looking as far into the past as we think.
"Universal Fluctuations" within a pre disposed variance of particle acceleration, will be void of esoteric rhetoric, if an only if, a congruent measure of sub space is a verifiable deduction. The theoretical basis of "form" and "meaning" must persist as a singular procurement of what is "said" to exist, irrespective of how such "existence" is derived. Let us engage a pedestrian example. When you are baking cookies, the outer part of the cookie will expand faster than the middle. Is the rate of expansion a plausible, dialectical , coherent extrapolation of "time" in conjunction with the "force" of kinetic energy? Does such perception dictate "language" as an ambiguous , illusory concept of how reality is perceived? Indubitably! Outstanding Video!
When a science soup lover write a wall of text, the only thing you get is a word salad.
This means that if we want to visit any galaxies beyond Andromeda, we would probably need to invent a way to create stable, long-distance worm holes. Heck, we probably would even need that for Andromeda.
As we can’t know what exists beyond the observable horizon, how can we speak of the average distribution of matter throughout the universe in it’s entirety.
It certainly makes sense. But the truth is we still can't be sure. We still have to deal with the fact that humanity has only one spot in the entire galaxy from which to observe the universe. Anyone can tell you that it's best to observe from multiple angles. Until we can create observatories beyond the Solar System and means in which to send information faster than light, we may as well consider all of humanity's efforts to be those of a single confused observer.
So we all live in the galactic sticks, we are Galactic Hillbillies… that would make alot of sense
We're not in a void. Maybe in a less "populated" area, sure, but it's not a void. The Milky Way has ca. 30 Galaxies "near" it, varying in size. The Canis Major dwarf is 25k lys away, Segue One is 75k lys away, Sag DEG is 70k lys away, and we have The Large and Small Magellanic Cloud "nearby," the former 160k and the latter 190k lys away. The list goes on with other galaxies ranging from 205k lys up to 3.065 million lys away. There's a whole smattering of galaxies around us. So the claim of a 2 billion ly expanse of "nothingness" with the Milky Way in the center doesn't work here.
The best theory that Eisenstein gave us was "If you can't explain it to a six year old, you don't understand it yourself."
A very interesting video with logical conclusions. Thanks for sharing.
I see this black void as another dimension that our creator put us in, if this is what it really is, there are too many stars, planets and galaxies with us in this black void for us to think otherwise. Our Creator is dimensional and we're just in another dimension, if this is the case. Our Creator knows what He is doing and why.
maybe he purposely put the milky way galaxy in a 360° cubed location to emphasize that the big bang is dung and needs a D. N. R. Label put on the silly big bang "Therory".
He smacked the milk way galaxy at its location then stretched the heavens (Isaiah 44:24) and designated the galaxies to their locations to give the synical, deep thinkers busy with many hypothesis' to rattle their questioning him. " He catches the wise in their craftyness after all. Plus it's worldly wisdom their embracing 😮😂😅.
Neat that since the James web telescope has launched that more and more discoveries confirming the bible with the telescope is giving them hear trouble and heart attacks where their big lie bang is getting a hammer put through it again and again 😂. 😊
I am most interested in the possibility that local space rips could tear local things down to quarks? We're basically saying that the background relative vacuum accelerates space/time growth within the vacuum bubble, right? How would a "small" local space rip differ on the time scale from a universal one? Is the void itself the cumulative effect of a time rip originating presumably from its center, eating itself from the inside out? Would there be some kind of cosmic front, expanding bubble (but no homogenous, rather patchy) of this rip phenomenon that disappears intervening matter by dispersal? All these voids look like bubbles in a thick soup. Bubbles let surface tension structure them. Such surface tension subject to spontaneous collapse. An empty enough bubble could collapse; galaxies or clusters on opposite poles of the bubble would suddenly be gravitationally adjacent? No mention of any of this (except some vague suggestion of local expansion) from you guys, which silence I find disturbing. Is there bad news you're not telling us?
Still making this question? The Keenan, Barger and Cowie (KBC) void was discovered 11 years ago. Void like this are everywhere in the Universe.
I hink you misplaced the chapter timestamps in the description, you should revisit that
Is Andromeda included in this 'void'?
In my opinion...
So, would the Space that a Galaxy is in, be spinning? (Which would facilitate the formation of Galaxies? Duh!) Like whirlpools in a river traps leaves and twigs, so the stars in a Galaxy spin around a common center? (Yes, I know, using a three Dimensional example to demonstrate a four Dimensional occurrence.)
And as far as rapid expansion smoothing out anything, isn't it rapid expansions kind of thing to cause eddies and whirlpools?
I think it’s possible that our 3D space is warped in a 4D shape. Like you can bend a paper in a 3rd dimension. You can then look from the point of view of any particular galaxy and see a void and clusters everywhere else because of the way the plane is bent. I’m a creationist who doesn’t believe the Big Bang was possible, but this idea would line up what we see with the background radiation.
And above all no link to the paper or finding you’re talking about?
Cause it’s bullshit lol we’ve known about voids and we don’t live in one
These videos always suggest we have it mostly figured out with just a bit of tweaking to go. Not even close to the reality. Just admit we have NO clue and no way to validate what we THINK we are measuring. 💡
While a cool (possible discovery) two things come to mind.
1. Lets say this “Void” things is true, while it might reshape our theories and understanding of the Universe, by the time we really begin to understand it Humanity will likely be on its way out.
2. We just recently had our FIRST Man Made object leave our own Solar System.
So it’s not like our Exploration of Space is being Impeded by this Void LOL
All praise to the All Mighty,..
Can the void be a layer we haven't break through yet?
In islam it is believed that we live in a bubble/ void/ layer
I encourage those to seek more info about islam and space, and have a clear thinking and be in
Looking at some of the images you show, I can't tell if we are in a void or not. Based upon the kne where the Milky Way is in a green color zone, it looks like we're not in a void. Then the images with the black spaces looks like we are. So, are we in a void or not?
So, South Park was right....we've been cut off from the rest of the universe.
Babyfart McGeezaks DID happen at some point...
Just Wonderful ... Absolutely ... Thank you for that one.
My guess is every galaxy exists in a local void having drawn to itself everything free floating near it. There is a giant black hole in the center as I understand it. Powerful gravity well sitting there. It would be surprising if it didn't create a void around it.
I thought this RUclips channel was an official NASA channel. Why do you use "NASA" in your title and email? I'm not sure about the accuracy of some of your information.
What's the effect of time dilation on a galaxy in a void with respect to galaxies that are among more mass and or not within a void?
If your galaxy was in a dense cluster it would appear that the observable universe is condensing not expanding. This throws the Big Bang theory out the window and proposes the universe could be much older than we have estimated.
