Maybe he did it so he could modify the measurement later, like saying "now if those pennies were the size of a manhole cover, they'd still only take up .001%." :) probably not, but if we're making up units, might as well make some intuitively expandable/reducible ones.

If we are to buy into this ridiculous idea of "voids", and "super voids", well then we already live in one. These "voids" are just areas with less density of matter than other places where there is more stuff... This might have seemed weird to scientists in the 80s or something. Before we discovered galactic filaments. But now that we do know about galactic filaments, this is no longer a mystery at all. And its ridiculous to keep quoting this thing.

While I do believe the quantum fluctuation explanation makes the most sense, indeed, a random distribution of points leads to clumps and voids, I always like to think that maybe the voids are "scars" from where our universe bumped up against neighboring universes in the multiverse. When they bumped, the positive pressure pushed any matter to the edges.

If the void were full of Dyson Spheres, we would still be able to detect them because they would radiate immense amounts of heat which our infrared telescopes could easily detect. Also, astrophysicists have determined that the plausibility of a complete sphere is impractical and therefore unlikely to exist. Stars are not stationary objects, they rotate around a common center of mass making them wobble, and any slight deviation in position will cause fluctuations in the gravitational force upon the structure of the sphere, making it collapse or buckle in on itself. Not to mention the necessary material needed to construct a complete sphere would require the demolition of an entire planet like Mercury. The updated version of this superstructure is known as a “Dyson’s Swarm.” This is a collection of smaller, individual structures that orbit the star independently and are able to move along with its orbital fluctuations, and requires much less material to construct. Anywho, the likelihood of the void being a result of giant alien superstructures is non existent. The feasibility of these objects being undetectable to infrared telescopes is just impossible.

Basically all popular physicists agree that complex life is INCREDIBLY rare, though the galaxies may be filled with (extremely) basic life. To the point that its likely that we are the only COMPLEX life in this galaxy, at this moment. And further that it is likely that no intelligent life has ever visited other intelligent life in the history of the universe. It would be a miracle to even detect another civilization is what the Fermi paradox is telling us.

Just black holes that have already consumed everything around them and lost their accretion discs rendering them invisible. It may very well have been that there were cosmic filaments stretching across that void like other regions of space some time in the far distant past that were already consumed long before the void was first detected.

In the quiet of the night aboard the USS Enterprise, Commander Riker and Captain Picard found themselves in the captain's ready room, enjoying a rare moment of relaxation. The stars outside the window formed a mesmerizing backdrop, a reminder of the vastness of space they explored together. "Jean-Luc, do you ever tire of this endless journey?" Riker asked, his voice soft, almost reflective. Picard looked up from his book, a slight smile playing on his lips. "There are moments, Will, when the solitude of command can weigh heavily. But then, I think of the crew, of the friendships we've forged, and it all seems worthwhile." Riker nodded, understanding the sentiment all too well. "We've been through so much together. It's those bonds that keep us going, I think." The captain set his book aside and leaned back in his chair. "Indeed. It's not just the exploration of the unknown that drives us, but the connections we make along the way." There was a comfortable silence between them, one that spoke of years of mutual respect and camaraderie. Riker walked over to the replicator and ordered two glasses of Saurian brandy, handing one to Picard. "To friendship," Riker toasted, raising his glass. "To friendship," Picard echoed, clinking his glass against Riker's.

@@PhilBertran Eli and James had always shared a close bond, but tonight, the tension between them felt different. At the Halloween party, amidst laughter and whispered dares, they found themselves in an impromptu game that had everyone watching. The dim lights cast soft shadows across their faces as they locked eyes, both knowing what was about to happen. Their friends cheered them on, but for Eli and James, the moment was electric with something unspoken. Slowly, they leaned toward each other, the scent of cologne mixing with excitement as their hands steadied the rim of the bowl placed teasingly inside James's waistband. As Eli lowered his face, the cool water splashed slightly against his cheeks, heightening every sensation. His breath brushed against James's stomach, causing a sharp intake of breath that only Eli noticed. His lips grazed an apple as he struggled to keep his focus, but all he could feel was James’s presence, so close, so inviting. Finally, Eli caught the apple with his teeth, but before pulling away, their eyes met again, and a soft grin spread across James's face. The room may have been filled with laughter and teasing remarks, but for the two boys, time seemed to pause in the shared intensity of the moment. When Eli finally pulled back, the apple dropped to the floor, but it didn’t matter. They were both left breathless, feeling the charge between them that no one else seemed to notice. A spark had ignited in the most unexpected of games, and they knew that this night would change things. Without a word, James’s fingers lingered a little longer at Eli's side, a silent promise of what was to come.

Friendly FYI, Simon: The diaeresis on the second “o” indicates the start of a new syllable, so the reader _doesn’t_ run the two vowels together. Therefore, Boötes is spelled that way precisely to tell you it’s boh-OH-teez, not BOOTS (or BOOTS-tees). The New Yorker Magazine and a few other holdouts still uses the diaeresis this way in words like coördinate and naïve. I enjoyed when this was more common, sadly you rarely see it these days except in names like Chloë, Phoebë, and so on. The timeline for compound words with vowels meant to retain their independence basically went from reëlected to re-elected to the current favorite, reelected. I thought the diaereses were easy to understand and helpful for people learning English. But computer keyboards happened.

Chase and Ed stood under the warm spray of the shower, steam swirling around them. Their laughter echoed off the tiles as they washed away the grime of the day. “You know,” Chase said, lathering shampoo into his scabs, “I was reading this article about the history of hand jobs. It’s fascinating.” Ed chuckled, rinsing soap off his arms. “Only you would find that interesting. What did it say?” “Well,” Chase began, “it turns out that hand jobs were a common part of male bonding rituals in some cultures. It was more about camaraderie than sex.” Ed raised an eyebrow. “Really? That’s pretty wild. Imagine explaining that to Sally.” They both laughed, the sound blending with the noise of the water. “Hey, knowledge is power,” Chase grinned, rinsing his hair. Ed nodded, smiling. “Just another quirky piece of trivia for the books. Only you, Chase.” Stepdaddymakemecum

The *REAL* twist is that emptiness *means* something. It’s a reminder that even in the vastness of space, there are places so desolate they make Earth’s worst desert look cozy. And yet, we stare into it, projecting theories about advanced civilizations or relics of the Big Bang. Maybe it’s just an interstellar shrug-or maybe it’s a snapshot of where the universe is heading: endless expansion and isolation. The Boötes Void feels less like "nothing" and more like the universe’s way of giving us a dark, existential nudge.

It can be. It can also be a cat. I have a void and she is very sweet. For those meme challenged, all black cats are often called voids. They tend to be invisible in shadow unless they are looking at you, then all you see is eyeballs and fangs.

@wingracer1614 I was blessed to adopt 2 voids as kittens. I loved when they slept together because it was a big blob of blackness. If I woke them up, suddenly, two heads would pop up I miss my voids.

We wouldn’t have known other galaxies existed until the 1960s. Wasn’t it only the 1920s when we learned that? 40 more years when compared to how long we’ve been observing the night sky doesn’t seem like a lot.

For any civilizations like us, it's exactly the same. They would still be on a planet orbiting a star in a galaxy, just like us. There's just more empty space between them and the nearest galaxy.

Böötes is NOT empty. It is extremely lacking in galaxies, but it is not empty. The galaxies inside it are just far and few and they cannot be viewed from each other due to distance.
