When we look up at the night sky, we see an endless universe filled with billions and trillions of planets and galaxies, but if I tell you, almost everything you see in the sky is illusory, the universe is full of mysterious gaps and holes that even scientists cannot understand, and now scientists have discovered a huge gap in space that can accommodate billions of suns!
As we all know, the universe began with the Big Bang, and trillions of galaxies were born in tiny space, but these galaxies were only a small part of the universe, and the large amount of matter that constituted the universe was hollow, a gap between planets and galaxies. What is surprising is that 80% of the universe is made up of gaps, and scientists call these voids a cosmic hollow, which is terrifying. Now, almost everything in the universe is full of cosmic hollows, and we have not fully understood these hollows. Maybe you will ask what these hollows are? Why do they exist?
1978, scientists and researchers Stephen Gregory and Lyard Thompson discovered these holes for the first time in a groundbreaking study. They believe that some parts of the universe have huge spherical regions, and ultimately the average density of the universe is very low, which means that there are fewer space objects in these parts, such as planets, stars and galaxies, the Milky Way galaxy exist in a specific region, let’s say our own Virgo supercluster , which is home to 2,000 galaxies. If there are fewer than 200 galaxies in this space, then a spherical region of the same size as our own group of galaxies will be considered a hole.
Remember, the hugeness of Virgo supercluster is beyond imagination, and these ultra-low number of planets and galaxies make scientists wonder what exactly is between these holes? There is really nothing between these holes, or is there something we can't see clearly? The largest void in the universe may contain the answer, and this largest void can accommodate nearly a billion times the size of our solar system. Let’s take a look at this huge hole in the universe!
The universe is extremely huge, and some star clusters are filled with uniform stars and galaxies, some parts are similar to nothingness, they are very huge, the largest void in the universe is larger than you think, in fact, it is almost equivalent to two percent of the diameter of the entire observable universe, this mysterious huge gap in the center of the universe has nothing, yes, because this name also hints a little, this void looks like a huge boot, a huge boot that has almost nothing in space, but how big is this huge void?
Scientists estimate that this terrible huge gap is almost 250 million to 330 million light years wide, which is very huge for the entire Milky Way. The radius of the Milky Way is only 53,000 light years, which is almost 6,000 times that of our Milky Way. Scientists expect that 2,000 super-large galaxies should be placed here, but this huge area has only one word: empty.
Of course, scientists are also skeptical of this huge space gap, and they are not sure what is inside this mysterious void. So far, we have observed that there are only 60 galaxies in this huge spherical region in space, but the problem is that it is so large that these galaxies are negligible.Recently, scientists collaborated and concluded that something is filling this gap, such as dark matter that we humans cannot touch or see, you may have heard of this in science fiction movies, but scientists believe that for such a huge space, dark matter and dark energy have a high chance of existence, so what exactly is dark matter and dark energy?
Simply put, dark matter is a non-luminescent substance composed of particles that do not absorb, reflect or emit any light. Dark energy cannot be detected by observing electromagnetic radiation . Although this is a hypothetical form of energy that produces negative and repulsive pressures, what is more interesting is that scientists believe that this energy is the reason for the accelerated expansion of the universe, which may be the biggest mystery in the entire cosmology, which may not exist at all, but scientists are convinced that all unknowns in the universe are possible.
Recent research shows that this super void is generated by the collision of two or more voids. This collision turned a few galaxies that existed in the hollow into tubular shape. Now if the Milky Way was in this huge hollow, scientists infer that if we were in one hollow, other galaxies would be far away from us. If we were in the center of this hollow, we would not know that there were other galaxies besides the Milky Way, of course, until the 1960s. Imagine that almost in the 21st century, we don’t know that we are not the only galaxy in the universe, which will have a huge impact on our universe.
Of course, as technology develops, our night sky will become darker, because there are no rich stars in the night sky, we can only see faint light from these distant objects in the sky, we cannot stare at the stars at night, we need a telescope that is more powerful than it is now, but when I say to you we may be, although researchers suggest that the Milky Way is located in the KBC hole named after scientists Keenan Barger and Cowie, they think the number of galaxies in the region and space of the Milky Way is below average, so we can think of it as a hollow, we don't know how big this hollow is, but it contains many superclusters adjacent to our galaxies.
But scientists believe that the existence of the hollow itself is inconsistent with the nature of the Big Bang, but we are far from getting the answer from this creepy super-universe space. What do you think is inside this space? dark energy really exists? Will this hole reveal something we don’t know about the universe? Welcome to leave your opinion!
