  • Supervoids are the massive, empty spaces between galaxy clusters and galaxy filaments. But just because they are empty, doesn't mean they can't be fascinating! They have taught us a great deal about galaxy structures and the early universe, and today we'll be venturing into a few of the biggest!

      What really made this hit home for me was when I tried out Universe sandbox several years ago and trying out the Light pulse button, starting on planet Earth with the camera zoomed out to include the whole solar system. Light is laughably slow, even on "just" a solar system scale.

      We're "near" millions of planets and moons. Plenty of objects for life to possibly develop on. The issue is that alien, at least the ones near us, probably don't have any technology, or even intelligence, so detecting is hard because they don't influence much. Luckily, two "very close" celestial bodies, Mars and Titan, may contain life. Titan already has organic chemicals in its ocean, and while evidence of life on Mars is scarce, it still seems to have conditions like primordial Earth.

As for chances, while our region isn't particularly dense, there are still hundreds of thousands of planets and moon that could (and possibly do) support life "near" us. And like I said earlier, apart from Earth obviously, there are already candidates in our solar system, as well as Proxima Centauri, the closest other solar system to us, which is "only" 4 light years away. Which is feasible to travel to with future propulsion technologies.

      It explains a lot of stuff like the perceived accelerated expansion of the universe. It's not that the universe's expansion is accelerating, it's just that the stuff we see is coming closer to each other and further away from us since we're in a supervoid.

    For those of you saying that light speed is too slow for interstellar travel.. just remember that there is Lorentz time dilation. At the speed of light, going from point A to point B will feel instantaneous for you. Regardless of where you go. From an outside observer, it will take however long it takes for light to traverse those distances. It has always boggled my mind that for light which has traveled billions of miles to reach my eyes from a twinkling star. It literally is born and dies on that same instant. Light doesn't perceive creation because it just pops into existence and it disappears from it's point of view. IF you were traveling at 99.999999%c, you literally could go anywhere in an instant, but once you got there it would be way farther in the future. Distances narrow, but time stretches. This is why it is called space-time. They are intricately connected.

      Yes but also no. The universe is expanding, and on larger enough scales (roughly 18 billion lightyears today) not even light can catch up to that expansion. You could never get there. For reference, our currently visible universe has a ~46 billion lightyears radius away from us. We could never, even at the speed of light, interact with those galaxies.

    Question: Considering we have only just been able to reach the end of our own solar system, and in doing so we've discovered it's denser than we expected (see any number of the Voyager videos discussing this topic), how can we have any guess as to what the density of atoms is between galaxies?
    I'm addressing two factors here:
    - How little I know about what the human race as a whole has discovered
    - How accurate our assumptions about what we've discovered are

    • @81Saber

    You know, what's weird is that these types of videos give me a form of motivation I just can't put my finger on. It just shows how in the grand scheme of things, our choices and everything we do ultimately doesn't matter and we're all but a miniscule part of everything but in that same idea, it also means that we should appreciate what we are and learn all that we can.
    Our choices matter in a way that nothing else, as far as we know, can understand. To the universe we don't matter but the universe matters to us. I know it's probably not all that deep as I made it out to be but it's my way of trying to put my finger on how I feel every time I watch videos like this.

      When he said, "the temperature varies by a hundred and forty" he meant "100 and 40, not 140" its actually 0.001% to 0.0004% of 1 degree Kelvin, not Celsius and Absolute 0 (which we never seen or observed) is 0 Kelvin, you are completely mistaken, 14% of 1 degree Celsius is just nearly 0 degree Celsius which is not a big deal, I get -40 degree Celsius in my country

The temperature fluctuates by 140 microKelvin, which is the same thing as 0.00014 Kelvin, which is the same thing as 0.00014 degrees Celsius. Celsius and Kelvin have the same magnitude. 0.001% to 0.0004% of a Kelvin is 10 to 4 microKelvin, you don't even have your math right. You have no idea how Celsius works, it's a unit of temperature just like Kelvin with the same magnitude as a Kelvin, the unit itself has nothing to do with 0 degrees Celsius. Trust me I studied the CMB.

    Astronomy is a good starting point to try to explain our rapid expansion of knowledge these past few decades. I'm my lifetime, we've gone from 9 known planets to thousands of confirmed planets. We've gone from thinking our Galaxy is the only Galaxy, to knowing there are trillions or quadrillions of galaxies and a near uncountable number of stars and most likely planets as well. And new discoveries are certain to come as our modern observatories are built and satellites launched into space. Hubble and the impact of the deep space picture are a small picture of what is to come.
