Laniakea: Our home supercluster

Superclusters - regions of space that are densely packed with galaxies - are the biggest structures in the Universe. But scientists have struggled to define exactly where one supercluster ends and another begins. Now, a team based in Hawaii has come up with a new technique that maps the Universe according to the flow of galaxies across space. Redrawing the boundaries of the cosmic map, they redefine our home supercluster and name it Laniakea, which means ‘immeasurable heaven’ in Hawaiian.

I used to clip and save newspaper stories about the Universe. The announcement of Superclusters of Galaxies was in the newspaper in the late 1950's early 1960's, I was in 4th. and 5th. and then 6th. grade at the time. I remember when they first measured and announced the size and age of the known Universe a few years later. Sadly I lost all those clippings of stories somewhere during my life as I am now 64. I think my family, brothers and sister or parents must have found them and thwown them out thinking thery were meaningless. But as a child I used to enjoy teaching those who would listen about the solar system, the galaxy, clusters of galaxies and finally superclusters. Most people had no idea of this science. Funny as it was published in the newspapers as I have already said. I am still always reading any publication on astronomy and our Universe. My most favorite subject in my entire life!

The fermi paradox doesn't state that we are alone. It just brings up the question: "Why haven't we discovered alien life yet and why are there almost no signs?". There are a lot of theories. Maybe alien life is rarer than we think. Maybe aliens don't want to get involved with us. Maybe our understanding of the universe is extremely incomplete. There are tribes in papua new guinea who don't believe in white people because they don't have contact with the rest of the world. The government are leaving them alone and maybe the aliens are doing a similar thing. Another theory is that every civilization is killing itself before it can inhibit other star systems or an entire galaxy. The distances between stars are massive and it takes a lot of very advanced technology to travel this far. It takes technological knowledge that may also be dangerous for their own civilization, f.e. artificial intelligence. Maybe one day, on our search for alien life, we instead come across alien artificial intelligence. Scary thought but who knows.

Beautiful research. Truly amazing that in the space (no pun intended) of a few decades we have expanded our knowledge about who we are and where we are in this awe-inspiring Universe, whose utter vastness we may never fully appreciate entirely. Laniakea - a lovely name.

Actually, what you're describing is how plasma reacts when its electrified. It becomes "filamentary". Whats ironic about this video (and the accompanying research) points more towards the Plasma Cosmology (and even Electric Universe) than it does to Standard Cosmology......

This graphic idea about our cosmos and how is designed and modeling by the gravity, the shape of the supercluster of which we are a little part, is an excellent investigation work, congratulations to everyone involved in this amazing study. Very well done. Thanks for sharing this discovery and keep it up

Though it didn't - and couldn't - provide a good sense of scale, anything that gives us a clearer sense and understanding of our cosmos and our place in it is a good thing. Thanks to the producers of this video for your contribution.

The lady has a nice voice. I like the sound of it. And when it comes to the universe I am stunned. It looks so amazing, that I almost hate the fact that as humans we cannot explore it to the deepest and darkest corners. It is funny to me that on a cosmic scale many systems look like neurons inside our brains. Those purple ones shown in the video in 00:50 resembled it.

Buddhists believe you can explore the universe within yourself. That there is no separation. Separation is an illusion concocted by the mind.

[@rubbish9231]

That's also in Hinduism( not religion). But that's not a Belief.. They are saying experience it and then know. It isn't ideology or concept. There are inner tools and methods for that. Now don't say 'Belief'. Please

[@jeffmurray1681]

@@rubbish9231 You are making too much of my use of the word "believe." They're saying if you use those tools you will "know." That is a concept. Even if it isn't an ideology in the Western sense.

[@sutapasbhattacharya9471]

In fact the 'concept' [actually a fact of mystical realization] which, as Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan stressed, is central to all Hindu philosophy is the doctrine of the Atman-Brahman. The Atman [a.k.a. Pure Consciousness, Inner Light] is the impersonal, Light of Universal Consciousness/Spirit at the core of our mental being [it is also the same as the Prana or Life Energy]. The Atman is one with the macrocosmic Universal Consciousness/Spirit or Brahman which pervades and Transcends the phenomenal universe and is its Ground of Being. Schrodinger - a lifelong advocate of Nondual Brahmanism called the Doctrine of the Atman Brahman the grandest thought ever put forward by humans. In fact, the central notion of the Mediterranean Mystery Religions whose myths were copied by the Hellenized Jewish Gnostics to concoct the Gospel myths of the mythical character Iesous [as a Jewish Mystery Religion] which were actually allegories for spiritual transformation to attain gnosis/enlightenment was the death of the lower self (ego) [as symbolized by the Crucifixion - Orpheus/Bacchus was the crucified demigod before Christians copied this] and our rebirth/resurrection as the Higher Self (the Universal Daemon/Spirit) which underlies/pervades and creates the universe. I am in fact the man who identified the physical correlate of this Inner Light/Divine Light with the brainwaves of the Reticular Activating System. You can see the full evidence supporting this correlation [drawn primarily from authoritative Hindu and Buddhist yogic phenomenology] on the Evidence page of my website www.sutapas.com If you are interested in how it is possible to transcend the limitations of Wakeful Time/Space in such altered states, you will find a free pdf of the manuscript of my journal paper 'Transcendence of the Time/Space Matrix of Perception in Enlightenment and Near-Death Experience' on another page of the website.
