  1. WTF was that shit that tried to open when i clicked that link?
     
  2. How the fuck? I don't understand holes in the universe. :( The more I think about them, the more confused I become. I just don't understand how it's just "nothingness" like what happens when you go inside :eek:? Or can you not? Are there walls? whatttttt I'm just getting confused. :(
     
  3. its not a literal hole, just an empty space, i don't know why the news insists in using the inappropriate word 'hole', its a little misleading.
     
  4. I may be mistaken, but is it not the job of most news agencies to in fact be misleading? I could have got something mixed up there, but, I am almost certain that is the case.
     
  5. Dark matter, maybe?...
     
  6. i agree that it's not a "hole", but the fact that there's nothing there is quite interesting, no matter what it's called.
     
  7. They said that there was no dark matter.
     
  8. if you're gonna take the time to reply to the article, you should at least read the first sentence jackass.

    ...A giant hole in the Universe is devoid of galaxies, stars and even lacks dark matter, astronomers said on Thursday...
     
  9. hmm.... I have heard on a TV show on like... the history channel or discovery about how there isn't a definite center of the universe because everything is moving outwards together, so from one point it looks like everything is moving away from you, yet at another it looks like everything is moving away from that point too.

    But doesn't the big bang theory suggest that everything was all in one mass form that blew apart? shouldn't there be a big empty space where everything has been moving out from? I understand that from every perspective it would seem as if everything is moving away from that point, but shouldn't there be a definitive point?

    I have no idea about astronomy or anything like that but to me it makes sense. they know a lot more than I do though so they probably already ruled that out.
     
  10. Hmm, but doesn't it suck in all matter around it and not let it escape? So it's not just *only* empty space. I wonder if a black hole can become full haha.
     
  11. SPACE is one giant hole of nothing with stuff inside it... so how do you place a hole within a hole?!??!!
    My brain is heating up!
     
  12. never thought about that...
     
  13. yea i heard about this...there's been a lot of theories about how this came about

    one was like that this whole area of the universe had been destroyed by some cosmic reaction like a black hole [but then wehre's the black hole?]

    or the explosion of two stars or something like that
     
  14. Well, as it's been said, it's not an actual hole...just an area with nothing in it. Black holes aren't really "holes" either.

    As for my theory of the area of nothingness space...Maybe it's where the universe originated or something.
     
  15. Maybe they found the center of the big bang.

    Maybe there was a huge explosion that forced all matter away from the explosion area, like a anti-gravity explosion (kinda like dropping liquid soap into a sink of oily water).
     
  16. that's what i got out of the article. seems like this hole is more of a missing link as to where we all started from (the explosion).
