Astronomers Find Gaping Hole In The Universe
Posted In: Science by Andy at 10:13 am
 
Astronomers have been finding dark regions of space for years, areas of the universe with no radiation, no galaxies, not even ‘dark matter’, but never before have they found a void this size.
It’s a billion light years across.
Is it just part of the random nature of the universe and how the ‘chips fell’ after the Big Bang? Is this a cosmic coincidence or divine plan?
Surely this can’t be a good thing, we’ll likely one day regret this discovery and curse those meddling astronomers.

They just paved the way for a galactic bypass …
Right on, good call!
Here’s something interesting (at least to me), I know that galactic bypass is a reference to the Hitchhiker’s Guide, but searching Live.com returns only 43 hits (how funny if it was 42!) and GOOG returns just 239 hits.
I would have figured the term ‘galactic bypass’ would be used more heavily than this, even if it turns out Hitchhikers’ term was slightly different.
