      @@PK-Radio space wasn’t always so big. 13.8 billion years ago space was the size of a very very infinitely small dot, all matter was compressed there, but then it all exploded and kept expanding and cooling down. Today, we call that explosion the big bang, and till this day, you can see that the explosion is still in place because the universe is expanding faster than the speed of light.

      Flaw? Perhaps. I myself believe what Hegel postulated, that human consciousness, unique in the world, is the universe holding up a mirror to itself. We are a manifestation of nature that then negates nature and follows its own path. It’s a great and a terrible thing, but we must do what we’re meant to do.

    Finally, someone that realises that the misleading image is actually an unrelated absorption nebula, and not a supervoid. If you photograph the Bootes Void, you won't see a literal big black void, because there will be both stars and galaxies in front of it, and behind it. You likely won't even realise there is a void at first glance. You would need to do some measurements of the objects in your field of view first before you make that conclusion.

    The agglomeration of matter happens when there's a mismatch between force and inertia.
    Think of many atoms. Why do they agglomerate into chunks of atoms, creating planets? If the proton and the electron had the same mass, they wouldn't. We'd simply have an evenly distributed dust of atoms.
    The proton and the electron have the same dominant force: A positive and a negative charge. But the electron is lighter. So when two atoms get close to each other, the electron moves out of the way easier. When there are more than two atoms, a chain reaction happens and all the protons and electrons will align themselves in the same direction. This is called dipole-dipole interaction.
    This effect can happen on any scale and with any type of force.
    I was once tasked with finding an answer to this question and it took me more than 2 weeks of doing nothing but sleeping, eating and thinking, almost shattering my whole world view. But in the end the solution was so easy. It's simply inertia. Of course I also did all the math and wrote everything up, even came up with the 12-6 potential, only to find out that someone else already came up with it before me. It's called the Lennard-Jones potential.

    • @wythaaof6650

      I wanna give you an experiment example that you can try yourself in order to understand why galaxies are moving away from each other even tho every matter in the universe attract each other gravitationally.
      Get a rubber band and a pencil.
      First I want you to imagine a rubber band as space.
      Then draw 2 dots on the rubber band with a pencil and imagine them as galaxies.
      Then hold rubber band on 2 sides pull it to stretch. And imagine it as the expansion of the universe.
      What you see is galaxies are separating away from each other as the universe expands.
      And get a 2nd rubber band and draw 2 dots again but draw them a bit further away this time.
      Hold both rubber bands and pull them together. Now you will see that the further the dots are the faster the separation.
      And now imagine that dots are 2 ants and they are trying to move towards each other.
      if they are closer, they separate slower with pulling so even tho they move slowly they eventually will catch each other.
      But if you put them further they need to walk faster in order to catch or they cannot overcome rubber bands separation.
      And even tho they move towards each other on the rubber band, you will still see them moving away from each other if they are distant enough or if you pull bands faster enough.
      Think about that 2 ants who can meet together and overcome the expansion of the rubber band are a local group. Let's call them ant Milkyway and ant Andromeda.
      And think about distant dots are distant galaxies. Even tho they are pulling gravitationally and try to meet, they cannot catch each other because of the expansion of the universe.
      That's the simplest way I can think of to explain it. Hope it helps.

    I absolutely love the thumbnail and opening image of the Boots Void! It’s such a creepy and eerie picture. A very fitting image for what is by far the largest void of absolute nothingness ever discovered! We are so lucky to have channels like Astrum to show us these images and educate us as to what they show. Even probably 20 years ago astronomers would see an image of that blackness and probably think it was some kind of dust cloud or nebula. They’d never dream that it’s billions of light years of absolute and total nothingness. No galaxies, not even a single star in all that space - I wouldn’t even believe it except that I trust Astrum and his scientific teachings. Just amazing!
