For everyone experiencing the existential dread, just remember two things. One, the timelines of when we would get to the point of the heat death of the universe so incredibly massive for us it might as well be infinity. Two, our understanding of the universe is constantly changing! 10 or 20 years from now it may be an entirely different idea of what will happen. Ultimately the dynamics of how the universe plays out are completely out of your control, just live your best life and rest easy knowing that the outcome doesn't matter to you, the entire human race, or even the planet itself.

The Great Attractor, also known as Bolder's ring, more commonly known simply as the ring (or the Xeelee Ring), is a highly advanced Xeelee structure and one of their greatest achievements.Twenty-first century humanity was aware of the gravitational anomaly created by the ring and dubbed it the Great Attractor. Upon discovery of the ring itself, humanity mistakenly assumed it to be a weapon, while instead it is a portal used to escape the universe. The ring has a diameter of 10 million light-years (100 times that of the Milky Way galaxy) and is made of cosmic superstring. The Xeelee constructed it over the course of billions of years during which they converted the mass of thousands of galaxies into the ring's superstring. The ring spins near the speed of light, which combined with its mass, causes the creation of a naked singularity at its center. The enormous mass of the ring locally counteracts the expansion of the universe.

But in a literally infinite universe, any odds, no matter how insanely small, are guaranteed to happen.

Imagine if you will a disk. Inside of that disc is a bunch of galaxies. The disk is pushed forward by an unknown force. Because of that unknown force the disc is now generating friction. The friction causes the disk to expand as it moves forward. Compression from movement and friction causes expansion. Friction pushing down Forward motion pushing up. Now the forward motion is pulling the galaxies with the universe. More friction. Galaxies are filled with mass and matter. The galaxies spin from friction caused by the pull of the universe. The universe now spins because of the friction from the galaxies. Each galaxy having its own spin because of mass and matter that create the friction. All matter in every galaxy now has gravity. The matter is spinning from the friction of the galaxy moving forward as the universe moves forward. Simple physics. Observable facts. Time is not relative to space.

Maxwell/Lorentz showed us the power of electromagnetism and every NASA probe has found space is full of charged particles. Those forces dwarf gravity. The electrostatic repulsion between two protons is 1.2×10^36 times greater than their gravitational attraction. The electrostatic attraction between one proton and one electron is 2.2×10^39 times the force of their gravitational attraction.

[@johncraig2623]

Full of is a bit of an overstatement. Space is orders of magnitude emptier than our best earthbound vacuum. Yes EM forces are stonger than gravity, but to achieve attraction between objects, you need to have net opposite charges between the two objects. So how is it that we here in the Milky Way have a net charge opposite to, say, the Andromeda Galaxy that is approaching the Milky Way? How did such a large, inhomogenous, object get and maintain a net charge and why would one have a charge opposite the other?

@6:23 The great attractor is merely a massive thing. It could also work in conjunction with the collective gravity of all the galaxies in the area. if you have thousands of galaxies in close proximity to each other they will attract each other. If you zoom out far enough and look at those thousands of galaxies, it changes your perspective and shows that they are actually relatively close and if you picture a bowl or a ball, it's probably about what they look like, And will eventually collapse due to gravity, and it would be obvious

I’m brand new to physics (no proper schooling), but this exact phenomenon is literally (in my mind, anyway) a likely scenario, given what I learned in Kurzgesagt - In a Nutshell’s “How to Destroy the Universe” I feel like that’s the inevitable cycle. It exploded out with the Big Bang, & now everything is being sucked back through the vastness of space. To eventually start the cycle over again.

That is called an oscillation. I have questions. What if gravity creates matter and not the other way round? How would we know that everything is expanding if EVERYTHING is expanding? How, exactly, if, as Einstein said light travels at the same speed regardless of where or how fast we travel, does light exhibit red or blue shift if there is no medium?

What I don't understand about Inflation is that it means space and mass within it is moving away from each other "outward", with father objects seeming to move away more quickly. However, that is what we would percieve if the Universe is gravitationally collapsing as well. The pull of gravity increases geomentrically with the distance from the center of the mass. From our galaxy it would look like we are moving ever faster away from galaxies that are further from the Central Attractor, since we are closer and the gravitational pull is increasing, and therefore accellerating at a faster rate. Looking towards galaxies closer to the Central Attractor, they would be moving towards the Central Attractor at an ever increasing speed, thereby ever increasing the distance between them and the Milky Way. It would look like how Inflation is described, but be due to gravity. So it seems to me that gravity could be collapsing the Universe and it could appear as if the Universe is expanding because of the increasing distance between masses; when actually it Gravity. At some point all the mass would arrive at the same place, and it would be obvious that what was seen as Inflation was actually the differential in attraction between masses at different distances from the Central Attractor. How do we know that Inflation is expanding the Universe rather than collapsing the Universe?

[@SaruCharmed]

​@axenik He said in the video that we'll never reach that point because the universe is expanding faster than the supercluster is pulling us in. Since spacetime itself is expanding, no force can combat that. It's like if you were running a race and the track kept getting bigger so you could never reach the finish line. There's no convergence of the universe. There's expansion of the universe, and there's gravity, which is what is pulling our galaxy and the others around us into the supercluster.

There are considered 4 super clusters, ours contains about 100 galaxy clusters and about 45,000 galaxies, the next largest one contains around 30~ galaxy clusters and probably another 25,000~ galaxies, the other two super clusters are “filament clusters”, and they each contain a couple sections, but instead of being super dense, they are long and sparse, and these two clusters contain probably 10-20,000 galaxies a piece. And the estimates for the whole thing are actually anywhere between 100,000-150,000. And the “branch” he refers to, is HUGE, it’s most of the right arm in the picture. His transition did not due it justice.

i just thought so too. then i saw your comment, then i saw the useless answers to it and went to google. here's some results: _virgo cluster, dominator of our local group:_ It is much larger than any other group within 100 million light years. There are about 150 large galaxies in this cluster and at least a thousand known dwarf galaxies. _virgo supercluster aka our local supercluster:_ It is thought to contain over 47,000 galaxies. (110 million light-years) _hydra supercluster:_ contains only about 157 galaxies of which only 1 is "rich" and that is the hydra cluster. _centaurus supercluster:_ contains only 100 galaxies, about as many as the Virgo or Hydra clusters. _laniakea supercluster:_ encompasses approximately 100,000 galaxies stretched out over 160 Mpc (520 million ly). i think the confusing part here is that the word "super" is used unrelated to the orders of magnitude in terms of galaxy amounts, but in terms of areal coverage. in all fairness tho, i look at those pictures and it doesn't make any sense unless they mistook clusters for galaxies when they looked through their scopes...... upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/df/Position_der_Erde_im_Universum_4x2.png (german for beginners: milchstraße = milkyway, nachbarschaft = neighbourhood, superhaufen = supercluster) www.icc.dur.ac.uk/~tt/Lectures/Galaxies/LocalGroup/Back/virgo.html here's a page with some maps & explanations that go deeper into the smaller stuff, but also show the location of earth in the universe i hope i was more helpful than the other 2 xd
