according to the article its not actually empty at all its just an area that is 20% just less dense then surrounding areas but its called a "supervoid" i guess because scientists need those clicks to keep the science going

Void is a term that's used but it's a relative term. There is hardly anything compared to the denser parts of the universe. If you find anything in an article about science misleading, it's the reporter/editor's fault. Scientists know their result is probably only 10% as cool as the press releases and articles make it out to be, but if you don't let them put their spin on it they won't find it exciting enough to write an article on it. Basically don't believe anything in a press release, go read the paper(s) it is based on if you want the real story.

Feedback Agency posted:http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/science/space/11550868/Giant-mysterious-empty-hole-found-in-universe.html You mean we're an arbitrary distance from an arbitrary point in space and moving towards it at an arbitrary rate?  E: I read the article and it's a lot cooler than the OP makes it seem. We're not being "sucked into" it I don't know where you got that idea you fuckman.

OP you are citing a lovely news filler article that cites old gently caressing news. The Great Attractor (and us) are being pulled towards the Shapley Supercluster which is a concentration of galaxies that makes the Great Attractor look like a ship in a bottle versus a BP supertanker of death.

This fits in. quite well with my hollow universe theory. This void is the center and the universe is expanding inwards towards it.

it would be also cool if after the heat death of the universe there's some weird quantum thing that makes another big bang i'd like to title this theory the 'Maybe Something Quantum' proposal

What if black holes are just sucking in energy and matter and there's another dimension where it's being spit back out and that's what stars are???
