    The pic from the article with candles and ray traced reflections is giving big ‘time cube’/geocities conspiracy theory energy

    Does this explain the spooky redshift stuff that seems to say we’re much closer to the outer expanse than previously thought? Seems like it confuses that even more.

            Exactly why I mention the RED SHIFT that we use to detect the age of distance between objects visually.

            If this article is true, that means we can’t rely on red shift to determine the distance or age of anything.

                Okay, so that’s still the same question:

                1. this report seems to have evidence of a void
                2. redshift observation would be impacted if true
                3. ge er gravitational relationships between galaxies would be kind of a huge thing considering our limited view of their

                So you’re saying this article is all bullshit, or what?

    Seems like being inside a huge void could also be beneficial for the formation of life: might result in fewer celestial collisions nearby, and therfore less frequent mass extinction event causing meteors?

    Which might explain why earth has intelligent life but we haven’t yet seen evidence of intelligent extra terrestrial life.

      A billion light years across at 20% lower density. So not stellar neighborhood, way bigger than a galaxy.
