August 30, 200718 yr There is nothing in the cup if you hold it out in space because the air gets sucked out. Scientists used to think that space was filled with something, but this was disproved. Empty space is entirely devoid of matter. I think that's what he's asking. It may be devoid of matter, but there is something there that defines it as "space" and not "mysterious pan-dimensional void". Ok, maybe not the pan-dimensional part, but it's nice to go all sci-fi :mrgreen: But I still don't see what makes empty space differ from this "void" thingamagig. A lack of energy, in addition to matter? Or just that it doesn't "exist" in a measurable way? Life is a joke. Yeah, I don't get it either.

I mean space has nothing in it, so why is it different? Is there matter in space or something?
August 30, 200718 yr one reason i can think of is that it was just dumb luck the unvierse as we know is expanding in every direction and under the current theory the size, and amount of these "voids" will be increasing, so if this was one of the first voids, it will be increasing as well, there for it is just luck that this one is so big, nothing specil or anything
August 30, 200718 yr Interesting. Would be better if a human could go there and witness it first hand, though I doubt that'll be happening any time soon. :roll: ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)RIP Michaelangelopolous
August 30, 200718 yr Interesting. Would be better if a human could go there and witness it first hand, though I doubt that'll be happening any time soon. :roll: It's a blank in space. No stars, no planets, nothing. It's the cosmic equivalent to the Doldrums. Explorers would go mad trying to cross it, theres absolutely nothing. My heart is broken by the terrible loss I have sustained in my old friends and companions and my poor soldiers. Believe me, nothing except a battle lost can be half so melancholy as a battle won. -Sir Arthur Wellesley

August 30, 200718 yr So what color is it? Black? Or is there some special color that comes with nothing?

You wouldnt HAVE to look at it either.

The "void" is simply a vacuum. Ah, this reminds me about the noob on the Runescape forums who was upset with the quest "Cold War" because apparently his grandparents died in the war. :wall:
August 30, 200718 yr So what color is it? Black? Or is there some special color that comes with nothing? Yeah black... because black isn't even a colour. If something lacks colour, it's black. That's why you get black if you set colour-parameters of Red, Blue and Green to zero..
August 30, 200718 yr Author Like it says in the article, voids are pretty common. The universe is like fairy floss (cotton candy), there are a lot of stringy bits and holes with nothing in them. Yes but as i mentioned, usually from large galaxies pulling all matter towards itself... Yes the universe is expanding in all directions, but if there was a big bang, it came from a singularity so there has to be one point from where all the expansion began, even though it might not be the point from where expansion continues. Am I right? Baron, space on a large scale contains something, whether it be galaxies or dark matter, this void contains nothing at all. Space on a small scale is as you said just empty space, but completely different on a large scale. See my post, the concept of a "centre of the universe" is false. It's misleading to compare it to an explosion from a single point in space, since the Universe is space. And what if the universe is just one of many of larger spaces... -All sigs by me.[My Gallery]

The rest of the universe, you know, the rest with stuff in it, is beige : This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you.

Maybe the same principle would apply to the expanding conglomeration of "bubble universes". But I really don't know. I'm still curious as to what they mean by empty space, because even in an absolute vacuum you still get random vacuum fluctuations. And I just had to add this comment I saw on another website re. the article: "This is 1,000 times the volume of what we sort of expected to see in terms of a typical void" They haven't met my ex-girlfriend. :lol: "Da mihi castitatem et continentam, sed noli modo"

August 31, 200718 yr Lets solve this in the most american way possible.... poke it with a stick and see what happens

August 31, 200718 yr Seen it already on another board. The best reason I can come up with is that the astronomers found Azathoth. I only know Azeroth, wads Azathoth? Anyway how do they know? How did they measure it? Hey Nicrune007 , Whats Your Username? 99 Ranged on 2/6/07 99 Hit Points on 9/5/08 99 Defense on 26/4/08 99 Attack on 14/2/09 99 Strength on 25/2/09 99 Slayer on 13/9/09\:D/
August 31, 200718 yr well the only logical explanation is that these scientists have found [bleep] Cheneys heart.
