Thanks for getting straight to the point without rambling nonsense to extend the video to 10 min. Really Appreciated!
Get back to painting
I also hate 10minutes long. If I found that I'll just skip that video.
Hellp bob, you make me happy.
Profile pic making it better, as usual.
People's attention span nowadays is like no more than 2-3 minutes 😂
Is there a more manly name than the Draco-Hercules Supercluster?

Um yeah Max Power 🙄
What about the Hercules Borealis Great Wall?
Yeah, Ben Dover.
yah Lance Aaron Roa
Hercules-Corona Borealis Great Wall
The largest structure in the universe
"Small voids"
"Tens of millions of light years across"
I had a similar thought.
"Thin filament of *60 galaxies* "
Blew my damn mind.
Tiny in astronomical scale.
@@Md-sd2go True but still huge to any human
Why is space so big
@@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. ( It’s a valid theory, but not confirmed )
It does get under my skin when people use Barnard 68s image and claim it's the Bootes Void. One is 0.25 light years in diameter, and the other is 330 million light-years! That's like using a picture of grain of sand and claiming it's a planet
@sote ful but shed-yool is the correct pronounciation?
Its also like saying you planted an single plant and call it a garden
Shut up you nerd
Perspective is key
It's worse than that. Barnard 68 is an area that's *denser* than it's surroundings, so it's completely backwards to confuse it with a void, even if size wasn't an issue (which it is).
"only 60 galaxies"
"only"
wew
Trusted Flagger , in the bootës void, there is supposed to be almost 10000 or more milkey-way galaxies! 60 is very little! Lol.
@Cooper And now I have ahead ache . . .
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.
Only 1 galaxy is a lot.
The Milky Way is 100,000 light years long
When you're such an introvert that you move to the Bootes void

Imagine being a really talented intelligent species that developed a means to visit other stars only to find that your tiny galaxy is in the middle of a supervoid. Actually imagine again that the species only sees other stars in it's galaxy and no other objects and so never bothered to develop super telescopes to look into the black sky beyond their galaxy.
Seriously. There was a time when humans thought our galaxy was the entire universe, and I'm sure aliens did too (if they exist).
it wouldnt matter.
even with light speed or warp drive, they're NEVER leaving their own galaxy anyway.
@@TheSighphiguy With near light-speed travel it is possible (due to relativity), but only for the people on the ship. The ones remaining on the home planet would eventually disappear, and the home planet probably too.

When this guy talks, it sounds like he’s always smiling. Just imagine a guy smiling while saying this to you.

true. weird. its hard to talk like that frowning. never thought of a voice sounding different from smiling vs frowning.
@@joshuaallen1340 You ever work a customer service-type job where you answer phones? Some people physically smile, but some learn to give the friendliest, happiest tones with the deadest of looks on their faces. It's interesting to see and kinda fun to do, like a challenge.
Brian Cox does this
These superclusters kinda look like gigantic space neurons.
In a way, they are. Look up the electric universe.
Legend says that if you keep zooming out it becomes a brain then eyes then head then torso then... well you get it
Preserve your own neurons and avoid the electric universe idiocy. It's as nonsensical as the expanding earth tripe.

@Lassi Kinnunen
Oh, I get it now, thanks!
Thanks for the truth. I always thought that cloud image was the void.
Bro big fucking facts lol
Honestly even then that cloud still weird as hell
@@donquesewilliamswilliams3497A huge damn cloud for sure
yeah and those cloud is creepy as hell. I used to think that it is Bootes Void, which adds up to its frightening traits...so intimidating
@Batman Crazy to think about.
This is the first times I've heard of this void, actually.
Brb, existential crisis.
You couldn't even see the end nor start it would be so huge its scary
Hell, I was looking at a molecular cluster and thought that it was Bootes void.
We live in a void
It's been a while since I had one of those real existential crisis's but somehow the realization that the area of the universe we're in, despite it's seeming emptiness, is still nowhere near as dark and lonely as the universe can get fills me with a profound feeling of horror and dread.
Soo many youtubers spread a crazy amount of misinformation on this subject
What about this video?

UA-cam has finally fixed the render for this video, so I've now made it public! Enjoy it in its flicker free glory 😁
Edit: people are still seeing some flickering. I've emailed UA-cam again, hopefully they will sort it out... sorry if it's affecting you! Somehow it's fine on my PC and phone yet I can see it flickering on my wife's phone too. Very annoying.
Second edit: fixed again!
Hi Astrum. I can see the video still flickering for me. I managed to pause the video at the exact moment and I see the background image of your logo. Haha!
Astrum ...still flickering here as well....
Flickering, from Australia
Yep. Still flickering.
i didn't pick up flickering but my eyes are slower 👀 what gets me is that the stars etc. may not even be there now as we are looking at ancient history from US still no flickering
3:12 so the universe in the end is a minecraft block?
You fcking with me right.

Keep in mind this is only the observable universe, the universe itself is far larger than that.
I knew it
I was always skeptical of that image.
The way the stars just sort of blend into black looked exactly like when something is in front of the camera lol.
Great video, thanks for not stretching it to ten minutes unnecessarily.
Could you imagine how an intelligent race would be affected after coming to the realisation that they were drifting so far from anything else in the universe?
Better than realizing that another galaxy will collide with your galaxy even before the sun is predicted to consume your planet.
LiltMan that’s in our future. Everything in the universe is accelerating away from everything else. Eventually we’ll see fewer and fewer stars, until we’ll see none: just empty black night, no matter where we are. Also, not only is interstellar travel difficult now, but also, every year every star gets farther away.
And if your sun was old and about to explode....
@@Tasorius well i mean nothing will come of it, when andromeda collides with us we wont even notice it in our short lives.
@@Toobenator Stars don't go away, it's galaxies.. Everything in the Milky way will stay in the Milky way
Imagine a civilization emerging in that void. I wonder how their limited vision into the observable universe around them would influence their evolution.
It's doubtful that they'd know there was other things out there. As the need for complicated telescopes came from less complicated ones seeing detail in the sky
Well, it wouldn’t make much of a difference for a long time since the VAST majority of stars and structures we see in the night sky are in our galaxy, so it would probably be the same for them. It would only start making a real difference when early complex telescopes are developed.
a true iron lung moment
If they evolved to see and manipulate vibrations, they will be gods!!!
Maybe, or maybe not. One of the wild theories for the existence of the Boötes Void it is actually just an extremely advanced, intergalactic, civilization. And this civilization makes dyson spheres which absorb all the light from the stars to power their expansion.
Out of the 25+ vids I've seen that talk about the void literally every single one of them use that image when describing the void. So thanks for learning me something new, bc I thought that's what it looked like until now.
You think you are lonely:
Tiny galaxy inside the void: guess im gonna hold the beer myself.
edit: ive no idea why all the likes but thank you very much 😀
Wow that was sad
:(

Omg this is so sad. Alexa, play avengers endgame on kazoo!
*hugs tiny galaxy inside the void* :3
This video format is perfect, especially for people who are just looking for answers on a specific topic. Longer more in depth videos are great, don't get me wrong, but this video was short, to the point, and clear as to what it is. Great video! Keep it up!
This is pretty in-depth..
I watched this once before not paying close attention. I'm glad I came back.
I have to say as a layman who has immense curiosity about these types of subjects and relies on intuitive explanations as opposed to strict scientific idioms, your description and supporting video on scale was incredible!!! Thanks!!! Keep up the great work!!!! Should be in schools!!!!
It took me a sec to realize what you meant when you said that if the Milky Way was at the center of the BV, we wouldn't have discovered any other galaxies until the 1960s. I think this means that it was only then that we were able to make telescopes strong enough to see our nearest neighbors! Amazing. I'm glad we have Andromeda as a 'buddy' galaxy!
I wonder how many galaxies were in the Boötes Void originally, before the Kardashev IV aliens cleaned it out. I guess we'll never know.
Yeah, I emailed them and they said that they're clearing the area to make a tourist attraction or something. Better be good!
Dary Fitrady I thought they were clearing it for the Kardashev Government funded highway? Silly me.
@@dept-7443 Well, they do sometimes change their plans. Besides, they already have enough wormhole highways/hubs.
You really believe that shit?
You know the Kardashev scale only goes to 3, right? Unless you're extending it, in which case: what's the power usage for K4 - all the energy of their universe? (K1 can store and use all the energy on their planet; K2 their star; K3 their galaxy)

Word
Everytime i see such videos, i get a weird feeling in my stomach and the urge to think about why this all exists...
Because we as humans fear one thing more than anything else, and it’s the unknown. we fear everything we can’t really understand.
Imagine if there was scientific proof of what happens after you die. like, do you get reborn as something else, or go to an afterlife etc, then death as a whole wouldn’t seem so scary anymore.
same goes for everything else. WHY is the universe so big? WHY are we here? HOW are we going to prosper once earth is gone? if we knew the answers to all these questions, it would be smooth sailing for humanity.
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.
Is there a flicker or am I having a stroke?
It's from the HD coding on new uploads I'm pretty sure
You're having a stroke
Its a blue background with a man figure.. really scary
Yes, it’s a blue background with mountains and trees and a person staring at them
Thought it was an April fool's joke
Take a moment to realize you are on a planet that orbits a star that resides within a small cluster of other planets, and there are countless other stars in your galaxy.
We are just one singular galaxy among near unlimited other galaxies which are webbed together like a fine lattice.
Astounding that we can even perceive this concept.
Far more astounding is that the vast majority of us think we're the special and favored creation of some stupid selfish childish sadistic deity... and take hope from that.
I know like it’s crazy, why are humans so advanced we know all this
@@kellogscornflakes2430 we're so advanced but also still so primitive. It's the strangest thing
I agree, this is one of the most concise and descriptive videos about it, on all of UA-cam! ☺️
Love your channel! You really have great skills in speaking and you're videos are well put together.
You chose the most fitting music for this video. Heard it first on a channel called Spacerip, I think it was a video related to Carl Sagan's billions and billions book, it sparked the curiosity in me for astronomy and everything space related. I'm guessing stellardrone was inspired by him as well.
This is the most calming explanation of mind-shattering emptiness I could hope to encounter. Thanks for your work.
It is still flickering? It seems to be fixed from my end 😕
Astrum Flicker is gone now; maybe the fix took time to populate across international servers. I really appreciate this video. Thanks.
I rarely ever comment on anything but Alex this is by far one of your best and one of my favorites. Also loved the video about why the planets orbit the sun in the same direction. And anything you do on Jupiter, Saturn and their moons. Everything you do is brilliant!
Thanks for making this easy for us simple folks to understand! Looking forward to more vids...
thanks for presenting this information in such a sober and respectful way. really, it's so refreshing.
all the sensationalism around these topics in videos and discussions really is fatiguing. people want so badly to believe in a universe of surprises and mystery and revelation, just filled to the brim with excitement. but really, the universe composed of coherent systems that don't need to explain themselves is a much more beautiful and awe-inspiring universe.
that sensationalism undermines and disrespects our knowledge of these systems so much, and those systems themselves too. we've gathered so much data and learned so much information through imaging m87, for instance, so it was an incredibly exciting moment scientifically. but public perception, without the sober foundation to appreciate what's being gained from the imaging, got only the sense of novelty from it which lead to ridiculous expectations or valuations of it.
anyway, you do such a good job at portraying the beauty of systems, and not just hyping up arbitrary facts. thanks for that. yours and anton petrov's channels are my go-tos for space and planetary sciences.
That's a lot of words to just say that you liked the video because it was simple.
I like video cause it's simple.
there, I shortened it even more
MeLike
But I FUCKING LOVE SCIENCE though
Dude, historical subjects get it the worst. You can't talk about Tiwanaku without some nutjob saying it's 14,000 years old, you can't talk about Hindu history without weirdos claiming it's all bunk because of ancient religious stories, you can't talk about the Maya without Atlantis and you can't talk about Egypt without ancient aliens...and don't even get me STARTED on Easter Island. There's actually a really fascinating history to Easter Island and an endlessly confusing mystery regarding Rongorongo, but does anyone talk about that? No, everyone just talks about the THOROUGHLY SOLVED Maoi head "mysteries".
Not to mention all the anti-intellectual undertones ("what they don't want to know" who the heck is "they"?) or how sensationalism undertimes actual facts and histories to the point where they become obscured behind the mysticism or conspiracy fueled sensationalist BS.
Thank you to Pranay99 Agrawal for this episode's question! If you have a question that would make a good video, feel free to ask below!
Are there any systems where stars orbit a planet / non-star object?
My pleasure. Thank you for the video.
Have not seen it yet.
Waiting for 4k.
Astrum You may have saw this earlier from me, but can a moon orbiting a planet be tidally locked with the star that the planet is orbiting, _not_ the planet, but the star. Just a thought, anyway thanks for your time!
What is the variance in Earth-like planets that would be survivable or adaptable by humans naturally (WITHOUT engineering ourselves for higher deviations)? For example: 85% of Earth's gravity, 18% oxygen in atmosphere, and 1.15 atmospheres.
Are there stars that exist between galaxies, and that don't belong to any galaxy? Lone stars, so to speak.
Man, I got goosebumps watching this... It's mind-blowing. Thank you for sharing it with us.
i love how this video gets straight to the point and isnt a 15 min video ab space good job man

It will take at least a thousand years till we can achieve warp travel. First we must study suspended animation to travel to Titan and mars
I don't think that will even be close to our lifetime. Humans could go extinct long before we would ever be capable of warp speed.

Thanks for clearing this up, appreciate all the knowledge in this video. 5/5
Oh man this is good, I always thought the clickbait graphics for the bootes void looked off because of the stars “in” it that are darker, suggesting a foreground dust cloud or nebula or something instead of a mysterious lack of matter. Thank you so much for bringing clarity to this internet nonsense.
Can you guys just take a moment to think about how tiny we are in this vast universe? How did the universe get created? Why are we alive? Why can I move my muscles? Why are these things existing?
Just think about it. We are like a tiny little atom if the universe was the size of the Earth.
God
It doesn't bother me at all. Size is all relative. If I worried about that too much, then I wouldn't get anything done.
@Peter Richard-Johnson Yeah men, i want to see whats beyond our galaxy and i want to see who else is out there. But im believing in beeing reborn anyways so in another life i might get to experience it😁

I almost cannot believe that I watched an astronomy video with a question for a title that actually answered the question.
Interesting to note that the clusters and filaments look a lot like neural clusters and axions.
It would be a suuuuuuuper sloooooooow neural net. At lightspeed, it would take hundreds of millions if not billions of years to form any coherent thought.
@@FrikInCasualMode but still quite interesting and some small knowledge about Gravity
yea maybe in certain scales nature takes similar shapes. Like how everything are spherical or hexagonal. It's math and physics that shape everything from cells to stars into spherical objects. It's just that humans try and make patterns from things. Coincidence? yup. for sure
Thank you for clearing it up. All the other channels that discuss this blow it way out of proportion and make it seem that this "void" is the only one of its kind or is so utterly unique when it isn't
Thanks for explaining it as it is. Up until now every other channel made it into some zany mystery.
03:03 Looks at the Tesseract... "My God, it's full of stars!"
Is absolutely unplausible to even remotely think that humans are alone in the universe if you look at this scale
exactly. Which kind of changes the question from “are we alone in the universe?” to “where the party people at?”

I see it as a structure like a light, mucous stringy sponge - and there must be one sponge hole that is bigger than the rest, I guess Bootes is the nearest we can observe. Fascinating video, thank you! :)
I liked before I watched cause I know It'll be an amazing video
@Nurudin Imširović woops ,there fixed it
Props for playing Stellardrone
Good to hear some Stellardrone music background
Nevertheless, great video. I hope you explore the theories of what might have caused the universe to unravel in strings as opposed to a more evenly distribution of matter.
Not sure if this is right, but the way I make sense of it - is that ANY variations in the density of matter from the Big Bang would cause matter to begin to become gradually more dense in one nearby part than another close by. That this , combined with the expansion caused by the enormous energy of this event, gave rise to this web like structure. - imagine taking a ball of cotton wool and teasing it apart gently to make it larger being careful not to actually pull any part off. Your actions would mimic the slight variation in force - seeking to keep it together but expanding it. Any holes could not be prevented from growing given that the only action was growth of the overall ball size. By the time the ball got to be football size it would have strung out filaments !
Well, it was exactly what I thought it was, and what I’d been taught.
Great presentation.
Thanks for the explanation!
1:35 keep in mind though, Astrum. Recent calculations of the Milky Way has shown it to be nearly twice as big as we previously thought, so its now thought to be BIGGER than Andromeda. Time to revise all our old "Milky Way and Andromeda" artwork =)
That is the outer disc part. The size of a galaxy is measured with the half-light radius, the diameter of the Milky Way is therefore 124,000 ly and that of the Andromeda Galaxy 155,000 ly.
Theories suggest that the bootes void is a scar from where another universe "multiverse theory" collided into our universe.
Yeah no
Makes you think! Awesome video.
Alex, yours is my favorite UA-cam channel.
So even if there are some galaxies merging, the space gaps between other galaxies are getting wider by the second.
i was deciding not to watch this video just because of Thumbnail, but past experience with your channel gave me hope that this channel cant be any fake or makeup video, and you proved that again :), worth watching! (looking back i might have missed lots of good content with fake looking thumbnails)
THANK YOU for correcting the on-going error about Barnard 68. It makes me sad every time I see it represented as a “void”.
More than anything this video reminded me of how big space really is, and I am now truly convinced there must be tons of life out there.
Cool video.
Please do one about the Great Attractor!

You should talk about the void that is close to the local group
Love the Stellardrone background music
I like that... the way u mentioned that we wouldn’t know about other galaxies until 1960s.... just again just shows us what a weird planet we live in and how blessed it is
SCP-3200 is a lot more mundane than I'd like to think.
