It made me think of this video, they should send him up in this, although he'd probably pass out and still not believe it...
I've often thought of what happens in those voids, Bear with me - electromagnetism causes mass, and mass causes gravity (very simplistic, I know), so if you're in an area of no 'matter', what happens to time and space? Is there a Higgs field in the voids, or is it just like the old sailors' tales of being becalmed in the Sargasso Sea? At times like these I wish Red Hadron Collider was still about.
So what happened to RHC? I tried to look but not getting a clear picture of him going missing. I know two months after he stopped posting, someone asked for a password reset for him, but he never reappeared - does @luvgonzo know....or maybe I have been told in the past and forgotten.
The question is, are they actually voids, or are they filled with something we don't have the ability to detect?
Dark matter? Einstein's 'Cosmological constant'? The sky between the clouds.. The Webb Telescope is supposed to tell us more by looking around the voids instead of in them. I'm 64 - I don't expect to know the answer in my lifetime. I do think whatever is discovered will pose more questions than answers.
Zhúlóng was discovered by a team led by Mengyuan Xiao, and announced in a paper submitted to Astronomy & Astrophysics on 17 December 2024, and published on 16 April 2025.[1] The discovery was surprising to astronomers, who had previously believed that spiral galaxies took billions of years to develop please log in to view this image https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhúlóng_(galaxy) I don't find it worrying, I find it exciting, maybe we just need to accept the universe isn't how we think it is, and I don't really like this big bang theory and never have, so keep challenging the theories...
What comes after JWST... Roman (Nancy Grace Roman) sometime in 2026 to 2027 - the video explains its capabilities...
