[@Md-sd2go]

@@PK-Radio space wasn’t always so big. 13.8 billion years ago space was the size of a very very infinitely small dot, all matter was compressed there, but then it all exploded and kept expanding and cooling down. Today, we call that explosion the big bang, and till this day, you can see that the explosion is still in place because the universe is expanding faster than the speed of light. ( It’s a valid theory, but not confirmed )

Finally, someone that realises that the misleading image is actually an unrelated absorption nebula, and not a supervoid. If you photograph the Bootes Void, you won't see a literal big black void, because there will be both stars and galaxies in front of it, and behind it. You likely won't even realise there is a void at first glance. You would need to do some measurements of the objects in your field of view first before you make that conclusion.

[@P8qzxnxfP85xZ2H3wDRV]

The agglomeration of matter happens when there's a mismatch between force and inertia. Think of many atoms. Why do they agglomerate into chunks of atoms, creating planets? If the proton and the electron had the same mass, they wouldn't. We'd simply have an evenly distributed dust of atoms. The proton and the electron have the same dominant force: A positive and a negative charge. But the electron is lighter. So when two atoms get close to each other, the electron moves out of the way easier. When there are more than two atoms, a chain reaction happens and all the protons and electrons will align themselves in the same direction. This is called dipole-dipole interaction. This effect can happen on any scale and with any type of force. I was once tasked with finding an answer to this question and it took me more than 2 weeks of doing nothing but sleeping, eating and thinking, almost shattering my whole world view. But in the end the solution was so easy. It's simply inertia. Of course I also did all the math and wrote everything up, even came up with the 12-6 potential, only to find out that someone else already came up with it before me. It's called the Lennard-Jones potential.

Video request: I still can't get the "all galaxies are moving away from each other" in my head. (note to commenters: words will never describe this for me; I need visuals) Have you got a good visualization of how the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies can be on a collision course while at the same time moving away from each other?

[@wythaaof6650]

I wanna give you an experiment example that you can try yourself in order to understand why galaxies are moving away from each other even tho every matter in the universe attract each other gravitationally. Get a rubber band and a pencil. First I want you to imagine a rubber band as space. Then draw 2 dots on the rubber band with a pencil and imagine them as galaxies. Then hold rubber band on 2 sides pull it to stretch. And imagine it as the expansion of the universe. What you see is galaxies are separating away from each other as the universe expands. And get a 2nd rubber band and draw 2 dots again but draw them a bit further away this time. Hold both rubber bands and pull them together. Now you will see that the further the dots are the faster the separation. And now imagine that dots are 2 ants and they are trying to move towards each other. if they are closer, they separate slower with pulling so even tho they move slowly they eventually will catch each other. But if you put them further they need to walk faster in order to catch or they cannot overcome rubber bands separation. And even tho they move towards each other on the rubber band, you will still see them moving away from each other if they are distant enough or if you pull bands faster enough. Think about that 2 ants who can meet together and overcome the expansion of the rubber band are a local group. Let's call them ant Milkyway and ant Andromeda. And think about distant dots are distant galaxies. Even tho they are pulling gravitationally and try to meet, they cannot catch each other because of the expansion of the universe. That's the simplest way I can think of to explain it. Hope it helps.

[@astrumspace]

That's a great explanation! Do you mind if I ask you if you thought of that yourself or if you saw/read it somewhere?

[@stickermigtigger]

Could you imagine how depressing it would be if there was life in a galaxy in this void? If we already feel alone in this gigantic universe, imagine this hypothetical aliens, even with the most powerful technology in the universe, they would never be able to leave the void...

[@v_sovereign]

It would be such a disadvantage for the poor aliens, they are basically “already” in the era of the end universe where it has expanded so much where everything is unreachable. And guess what? they are inside of it, and they will never know if the universe is ending or not, and it’s very sad..

[@3ArtDigital]

I do have a Question. Is there any evidence of a galaxy that was or is about to be entirely consumed by its center black hole ?

[@williamstockgard8108]

3ArtDigital All galaxies will eventually be just a huge black hole with orbiting black holes and eventually all of those will fall down into the centre black hole. Not nearly enough time has passed for this to have occurred yet

Top Shelf no, impossibly unlikely is fine to use in that context. It’s positively reenforcing. Like saying infinitesimally tiny. An adverb reenforcing an adjective. Highly effective and so on.

Thank you for being a light in the ocean of Internet misinformation.

[@yallneedjesus5465]

Thank you for clearing it up. All the other channels that discuss this blow it way out of proportion and make it seem that this "void" is the only one of its kind or is so utterly unique when it isn't

[@spilledbitch]

thanks for presenting this information in such a sober and respectful way. really, it's so refreshing. all the sensationalism around these topics in videos and discussions really is fatiguing. people want so badly to believe in a universe of surprises and mystery and revelation, just filled to the brim with excitement. but really, the universe composed of coherent systems that don't need to explain themselves is a much more beautiful and awe-inspiring universe. that sensationalism undermines and disrespects our knowledge of these systems so much, and those systems themselves too. we've gathered so much data and learned so much information through imaging m87, for instance, so it was an incredibly exciting moment scientifically. but public perception, without the sober foundation to appreciate what's being gained from the imaging, got only the sense of novelty from it which lead to ridiculous expectations or valuations of it. anyway, you do such a good job at portraying the beauty of systems, and not just hyping up arbitrary facts. thanks for that. yours and anton petrov's channels are my go-tos for space and planetary sciences.

Dude, historical subjects get it the worst.

There's actually a really fascinating history to Easter Island and an endlessly confusing mystery regarding Rongorongo, but does anyone talk about that? No, everyone just talks about the THOROUGHLY SOLVED Maoi head "mysteries". Not to mention all the anti-intellectual undertones ("what they don't want to know" who the heck is "they"?) or how sensationalism undertimes actual facts and histories to the point where they become obscured behind the mysticism or conspiracy fueled sensationalist BS.
