i really hope we, as a continuation of our species, are around millions, if not billions of years from now. it would be so cool if people could reach a handful of other galaxies as they near each other. i know its not likely... but what if?... :)
@@Tessmage_Tessera thank you. I'll look into it. Imagination is astral travel. So many are cought in there dreams and nightmare. To bring then to reality is soul retreval. Enlightened people are just a regular duds and dudettes . The rest are Still tripping balls. Lol 😂
Same. Been one of my favorite subjects since I learned about it. I’m guessing it’s just a massive cluster of galaxies but would be interesting if it was something we’ve never seen before.
I always thought the Great Attractor is not a thing or an object, but just happens to be the gravitational center of a large group of galaxies. Sort of like if you throw a bunch of stars into empty space, they can end up converging or move toward some gravitational "center" as long as there is not much rotational energy in the system initially?
For it to be the "center" wouldn't there have to be galaxy clusters headed towards it from the opposite direction? If that's not the case then I think it's just the direction that our part of the universe (originally just an overdensity of energy and then matter) was "kicked in" at the moment of the big bang.
you're thinking of barycenters, and the nature of galaxies doesn't really work the same as the nature of actual, physical bodies orbiting eachother. Our galaxy doesn't even actually "orbit" (in true faith to the term) around Sagittarius A*
@@KYDONSHADOW Kydonshadow....what do you mean our galaxy doesn't orbit around Sagittarius A? I thought our galaxy was always in circular motion around the black hole. No? can you explain?
I was looking at this earlier on another site they also said that there was most likely a very large black hole involved in this too The way we get there I hope is what you describe however it's quite a way off
he really makes a ton of stuff accessible to me, that I other wise would have to learn from different random sources, and I would end up confused because of the inconsistencies between formats. he is aa exceptional science's reporter!
I had not imagined how many star systems are being drawn toward this great attractor. We and all other galaxies are heading in a common direction, so why are galaxies said to be speeding away from us in all directions and expanding when we are all being summoned in a common direction? Looking at these fascinating graphs I notice not only is everything moving toward a definite space, but it also isn't expanding. Everything should be moving away from each other. This great attractor shouldn't be a magnet, it also must be expanding with all else.
Its just one of the directions we are moving in. Earth is rotating adound the sun which is roating around the milky ways center which is itself moving within the local cluster and so on. Expansion is happening everywhere, however the great attractor is something which, on top of all the movement already happening, adds another direction in whicb we are moving. The fascinating thing is whatever this is must be unbelievably massive because our entire "galactic neighborhood" is being attracted
The trick of it is that the "Great Attractor" is a relatively local phenomenon, and we can see galaxies _much_ further away than anything that seems to be attracted to it.
That's because Lainakea is just one one small part of the universe. Lainakea is a massive group of supercluster galaxies that is attracting each other. Large scale groups of supercluster attract each other because of gravity. The Virgo Supercluster for example is about 55 million light years from us but its gravity extends all the way to our group and is drawing us in. Beyond the Lainakea sphere of gravitational influence galaxies are receding from us.
This kind of thing is important, how else are we going to be a multi-galactic species. I know, I know, high hopes. But hard to get places if you don't have a good map.
The greatest weakness of all modern leaders is the lack of any long-term goals that surpass their meager terms. This is why I trust no politicians. If their goals can be completed within their term, then their goals are not for their constituents, but for their own personal gain.
The trouble is, Demon, that the map we have is 350M years out of date. You may as well try to use the Mappa Mundi to travel from Milton Keynes to New York.
Id be surprised (and also long, long, long dead) if we managed to actually leave our galaxy for another in a meaningful amount of time, not just shoving people into a hyperluminal sleep chamber to wait hundreds of thousands or millions of years just to get to the nearest bodies in our galactic neighborhood, let alone galaxies beyond the local group. let's wait until we can get to significant fractions of c before we start worrying about humans inhabiting other galaxies, or, don't count your intergalactic chickens before superluminal travel hatches
Who knows, through understanding the great attractor and learning about Quantum gapping we may start unlocking the warp bubble quicker than we thought.

Always watching, but wanted to comment on this one specifically to say thanks for doing what you do. I'm especially fascinated by the movement of galaxies and the cosmic web and filament concepts
It’s been confusing for me to hear things like “the next few billions of years” for things that are billions of light years away and so are currently somewhere entirely different than where they appear to us.
Yeah man, that whole distance and time thing is a right brain knotter! Of course the astro, or quantum, or theoretical physicist type wave their pens and chalk over a few numbers while leaving this numerically challenged layperson more confused than before!

Not commented yet to say how much I enjoy and appreciate your videos! Thank you! I love finding out how small and meaningless we are, how truly random yet interconnected our existence is. Fantastic.
Hello Anton and I notice the largest structure there was Norma but nothing was heading towards it. I might just be that even the largest structure is over powered by the great attractor so it might just be that the Great Attractor is actually pure concentrated dark energy.
I think it's just the direction that our part of the universe (originally just an overdensity of energy and then matter) was "kicked in" at the moment of the big bang, and it's still carrying it's momentum in that direction. I don't think there's physically anything there at all.
The JWST is primarily designed for infrared observations, and infrared radiation is scattered and blocked far less by space dust than visible light, so it's plausible.
What if there's no great Attractor at all and it's just the momentum the matter in our part of the universe was given, and the direction it was kicked in at the moment of the big bang?
Unfathomable no longer has meaning. We fathom the depth and breath and width of the known, read observable universe. It began long before we existed and will be long after our civilization is extinct. The record of everything is fascinating. However fascinating it may be, it adds absolutely nothing of value to our collective knowledge. It's not going to matter ever whether we understand the grandiose or not. We are at the mercy of the universe and it's motions, paths long ago begun and unstoppable. Can we just enjoy the ride? As always, thank you Anton for your excellent presentation. See you next time...
Anton, your videos about the universe are source of calmness as we're stepping into the next great filter. May our collective consciousness find us a way through.
The Universe is indeed an odd place of unknowns. Eventually we'll know why the 'Wall' exists along with the Great Attractor' and why they are where they are before everything disassociates and the Universe goes dark before it does whatever it will do when it is dark...
Tell Putin, Trump and any other narcissistic leader that! Sorry, couldn't help myself getting politics mixed up in this. It's sad to see how selfish we're
And never forget: You are a child of the universe, you are a child of the haven and earth, you are a child of the love and the light. You shine bright!
'A mere speck of dust' - Anton's poematic explanations are going to become colloquial phrases one day! Probably sooner than the grand timescales discussed in the video above🤗 'Hello Wonderful Speck of Dust...'😚
Imagine billions of years ago, in a distant galaxy, there existed a civilization, astronomers from that civilization did some work about the evolution of super clusters which finally become Laniakea
If we’re talking about 10.5 billion years from now, I don’t think I’ll worry about it until after lunch. 🤣 Very nice job of explaining the Great Attractor. I had heard about before but not explained to the detail you did. Please keep up the great work.
OTT graphics again! The idea that we have the ability to zoom out from our galaxy alone is mind blowing when we are currently so limited by our physical exploration (7 months to Mars). The structures described here, superclusters of galaxies, billions or trillions of star systems such as our own, are , as you say, completely overwhelming for the human brain to really grasp but some of these images can magically give us perspective even if we can't take it in.
I laugh when I hear anyone speculate about what we will worry about Billions of years in the future. I always think of the creature WE were 7 or 8 Million years ago! 😅😅😅😎 Note: B billion and M million!
imagine this: First, space travel; then, inter-stellar travel; then, galactic travel; then, inter-galactic travel. galactic structure travel; then super-structure travel; and so on; at fantactic speeds. Mind boggling.
Don't think it will be about speeds, it will be about vibrating between spaces in time. Basically shifting reality around a vehicle to move it around in space.
I absolutely love your videos, and always look forward to hearing "hello wonderful person". But if you need to take time off to be with your family you should absolutely do it. I'm sure everybody here would be okay with delayed content given these circumstances. I wish you and your family the best.
I still have more than a little trouble understanding how there are structures like "The Great Attractor" that have so much matter moving towards them while still everything is moving apart, eventually to go dark. Wow!
That confuses me as well. We constantly hear that the universe is expanding and galaxies are constantly moving away from each other, but then you see these computer generated models and studies that depict all of these particular galaxies traveling to the same point of origin, the great attractor. So apparently many galaxies in our galactic neck of the woods are actually traveling toward one another? Or at least the galaxies within reach of the great attractors gravitational pull.. can someone please explain this contradiction to me? Thanks in advance.
@@deftones8717 That's just it, we don't know what is there but galaxies and galactic cluster's are moving towards a 'local' gravitational center, wherever it is that is exerting the gravitational force.
I wonder how JWST would fare at trying to spot the Great Attractor. I mean thats assuming that it can even be seen and isn't just a new type of mega size black hole that is capable gobbling up entire galaxies
Hi Anton, great video, as usual. But, have you done one in which you explain a bit more about these things? Including why gravitational anomalies can't just be the centre of gravity for the matter heading there. Or could you include it in one of your vids plz? These things weren't yet being taught when I was at school. Lol, and their addition is not helping me stabilise my image of the cosmos. Thanks.
As I understand this right, we measure different velocities in different moments in a past for different parts of Laniakea. So, in a reality a true movement could be different. May be the attractor does not exist. And the real movement is likely a whirlpool.
Great video Anton much appreciated. I think there are some fundamentals emerging in cosmology. Space as a destination does not exist outside of space/time; there is nothing there. This is OK because energy doesn't require any space. So matter occurs when energy encounters the Higgs field which creates 'space' for dimensions to exist in. The Great Attractor maybe just a huge bunch of energy outside of Space/time which still exhibits gravity which we perceive as dark energy. Probably completely wrong but it works for me.......
The great attractor is our galaxies singularity, im sure of it. Energy cannot be created nor destroyed. Only change forms so with that being said, I rly believe that we came from the matter of another blackhole and were just constantly funneling endless matter into another
Hey give us more credit. We're spec of dust that created the most amazing food called Nachos. An amazing amalgamation of taste, texture and customization.
the predictions stating that the galaxies will magically begin to move apart even though they are moving closer becoming more dense and therefore creating more gravity density is predicated on dark energy which is most likely wrong and the result of humans not really understanding gravity.
Yet again I will ask this question.:- Are the positions of individual galaxies corrected for the time that has elapsed since the light we observe was emitted? 350M years in the extreme case. If not, how can any projection be accurately calculated. Or:- Is the movement on the astronomical scale, too small to make any difference?
@@Forbidd3n19 I think you will find that it's gravity waves that travel at the speed of light, Ken. As far as I understand it, gravity itself is more akin to an hydraulic or electrical system where pressure is transmitted almost instantaneously, with very little movement in the oil or the charge. That is, gravity does not travel. It's a field, not a form of energy. however, I do stand to be corrected.
I had been waiting for this video, thank you ANTON. I actually expected to know more about the great repellor. If our Laniakia is a fragment of a larger attractor, it implies ever greater fractal nature of reality. Attractors are accompanied by a repellor. If attractors are a great BH, repellors maybe a great WH.
You are quite incorrect. You’re thinking of gravity as if it’s electromagnetism, with attractive and repulsive forces, gravity is not like that, there is no anti-gravity, no push, only pull.
oh Anton, the next '20 billion yrs ? ...the earth goes through 'Events' example ""gothenburg Event'' every 12,000yrs !! Galactic Current Sheet ! comin v-soon :)
Thanks for the interesting video. What I always struggle to understand is the timeframe of these movements. Isn‘t the observed motion of further distant galaxies happening at a very different time from the observed movement of the closer galaxies? Is this time difference compensated in those fancy flowing graphics? To me, this is like observing two cars running towards each other and awaiting the impact when in reality one car was observed yesterday evening and the other one this morning. Sure, they are on the same track but at a very different time.
Besides the Great Atttactor there’s the bigger Shapley Attractor. I want to know what the dipole repeller is. Seems like a major force dark flow maybe pushes these gargantuan currents in space time which all matter rides along on. There is no stopping the question what does the Great Attractor orbit and so on. It’s kind of hard pin pointing a place on the map when your stuck way out in a desert.
Most folk don't have much of an idea of the utterly incredible scale of the universe. The light for example from the other side of the milky way is vitually a fossil by the time it gets to us
galactic scale ferro cell is what i see. and they move to the known point of acceleration in counter space. or the point in witch two magnetic bodies are attracted too. thats the point where everything wants to go within the local area. my thoughts. thanks and great video

Thanks for all the great information Anton. I can't wait to see what the James Webb telescope discovers.
"This thing caused the 1977 New York black out. Practical joke by the Great Attractor. He thought it was funny as hell."

As I understand this right, we measure different velocities in different moments in a past for different parts of Laniakea. So, in a reality a true movement could be different. May be the attractor does not exist. And the real movement is likely a whirlpool.
Great video Anton much appreciated. I think there are some fundamentals emerging in cosmology. Space as a destination does not exist outside of space/time; there is nothing there. This is OK because energy doesn't require any space. So matter occurs when energy encounters the Higgs field which creates 'space' for dimensions to exist in. The Great Attractor maybe just a huge bunch of energy outside of Space/time which still exhibits gravity which we perceive as dark energy. Probably completely wrong but it works for me.......
Best thing on the internet! Period!
That smile at the end!
The great attractor is our galaxies singularity, im sure of it. Energy cannot be created nor destroyed. Only change forms so with that being said, I rly believe that we came from the matter of another blackhole and were just constantly funneling endless matter into another
Hey give us more credit. We're spec of dust that created the most amazing food called Nachos. An amazing amalgamation of taste, texture and customization.
Thank you.
the predictions stating that the galaxies will magically begin to move apart even though they are moving closer becoming more dense and therefore creating more gravity density is predicated on dark energy which is most likely wrong and the result of humans not really understanding gravity.
nicee story bout the GA 🙏🏽✨ after 100k years we be able to see it, we are then on the oposite pisition of our milky way Galaxy 😅
But I'm sure even the great attractor is moving in attraction to an even greater attractor in the whole flow of the universe. Hope that makes sense?
Yet again I will ask this question.:- Are the positions of individual galaxies corrected for the time that has elapsed since the light we observe was emitted? 350M years in the extreme case.
If not, how can any projection be accurately calculated.
Or:- Is the movement on the astronomical scale, too small to make any difference?
If you open the PDF for the study linked in the description (arxiv), it is quite literally the first thing explained.
@@Forbidd3n19 I think you will find that it's gravity waves that travel at the speed of light, Ken. As far as I understand it, gravity itself is more akin to an hydraulic or electrical system where pressure is transmitted almost instantaneously, with very little movement in the oil or the charge. That is, gravity does not travel. It's a field, not a form of energy.
however, I do stand to be corrected.
@@dinkledankle : Thanks Paul! I understood very little but at least I now know that some effort is made to correct for the time element. 👍
This "Great Attractor" fascinates me
You are hitting on topics in my interest lately. Alcyone and the great attractor. Great job! Another topic, what's up with the bootes void?
We already know that the Great Attractor is the Shapley supercluster and surrounding superclusters.
Lets go the other way from the Coma cluster!
thanks anton!
I had been waiting for this video, thank you ANTON. I actually expected to know more about the great repellor. If our Laniakia is a fragment of a larger attractor, it implies ever greater fractal nature of reality. Attractors are accompanied by a repellor. If attractors are a great BH, repellors maybe a great WH.
You are quite incorrect. You’re thinking of gravity as if it’s electromagnetism, with attractive and repulsive forces, gravity is not like that, there is no anti-gravity, no push, only pull.
oh Anton, the next '20 billion yrs ? ...the earth goes through 'Events' example ""gothenburg Event'' every 12,000yrs !! Galactic Current Sheet ! comin v-soon :)
Space engine in VR is truly something to experience. Maybe one day in the future we will get the ability to simulate massive scale dynamics.

Gratitude!
Thanks for the interesting video. What I always struggle to understand is the timeframe of these movements. Isn‘t the observed motion of further distant galaxies happening at a very different time from the observed movement of the closer galaxies? Is this time difference compensated in those fancy flowing graphics? To me, this is like observing two cars running towards each other and awaiting the impact when in reality one car was observed yesterday evening and the other one this morning. Sure, they are on the same track but at a very different time.
Hmm.. that’s very thought provoking. Great point.
Besides the Great Atttactor there’s the bigger Shapley Attractor. I want to know what the dipole repeller is. Seems like a major force dark flow maybe pushes these gargantuan currents in space time which all matter rides along on. There is no stopping the question what does the Great Attractor orbit and so on. It’s kind of hard pin pointing a place on the map when your stuck way out in a desert.
I love your videos, Anton. You're a good egg. :-)
Almost there! 1M of us together here :)

I see what you did there Anton 👀
Most folk don't have much of an idea of the utterly incredible scale of the universe. The light for example from the other side of the milky way is vitually a fossil by the time it gets to us
Thank you. Very well explained
galactic scale ferro cell is what i see. and they move to the known point of acceleration in counter space. or the point in witch two magnetic bodies are attracted too. thats the point where everything wants to go within the local area. my thoughts. thanks and great video
Person, wonderful hello!
Damn, is that a van Gogh? The man was a revolutionary
