A really really big hole in the universe found
 

So when do they send people who repair it. I don't want to live in a kaputt universe http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/frown.gif

The physics guys think that the universe was created when two branes came together, like two flat planes with waves in them. Where they touched new physics came into existance that caused the big bang. So, if they came together once...and this vast empty area has to be created by something big, something new, and something out to get us!

Hollywood will explain it, and hopefully throw in a nude scene. http://www.discussworldissues.com/im...ons/icon14.gif

Just send Bruce Willis, he'll fix it.

Good lord, the cosmos is one scary place.

Another fact that is unexplainable and throws a real spanner in current theories, maybe it is simply easier to believe in a creator. Until this gets explained rationally as well.

God in the gaps http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ons/icon13.gif God is not there to fill the gaps.

God is not there to fill the gaps. Unfortunately God has filled the rather large gaps in the minds of those who believe in him http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/frown.gif.

I think it's aliens with stealth technology hiding their vast empire from us http://www.discussworldissues.com/im...ons/icon14.gif

That's technojargon for us astronomer types, don't let it bother you.

Also, it's disinformation by snoopy's stealth space alien empire.

Why does the article call it a hole? Another article I read on it referred to it as "the heart of darkness".

Yeah, the universe is anything but comfy!http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...milies/eek.gif

If you must...http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...s/rolleyes.gif

Don't know if its fitting with our highly technical discussion of a highly technical nature tho.

So true! Excellent docudrama.

Just to put the size of this hole-n-the universe thing in perspective, it's almost as big and almost as empty as a certain unnamed mod's head!

Gives one a real feel for it's fantasic vast expanse and utter abomination of desolation.

This guy has the solution:

I have always wondered why people trash The Core for it's outrageous physics - but the same people just accept Star Wars to be a good series with acceptable movie physics http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...smilies/hm.gif http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...smilies/hm.gif http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...smilies/hm.gif

Asmodean It's in large part because the very premise of the movie is not extremely dumb. The idea of a big space battle is not that bad - it's not "bad physics", you can take some artistic license when "rendering" the big space battle - the latter bad physics being part of artistic license.

But the idea of 20th century humans STOPPING or STARTING the core, is completely absurd! I mean humans can barely move mountains (literally, and the big ones, not figuratively and molehills), let alone move something which is literally 10 billion times bigger (not that laypeople necessarily know that, but they would know it's bloody darn heavy). When you use very bad physics for the very premise of the movie, then the movie deserves some kind of special recognition for bad physics.

It also helps to open a movie with "In a galaxy far far away...". Then you're allowed to have moon sized spaceships flying around.

According to the Big Bang Theory, the Big Bang took place everywhere! (It was a really, really BIG Bang!)

This is just an oversized version of intergalactic voids typically found between galaxy superclusters. The Media, like it often does with science news, sexed up the story to make it sound more profound and important then it actually is. Oh, and "God-of-the-Gaps" is never a good argument, EVER.
