- then you need a new word for universe, or at least a word for the next grouping of matter larger than a galaxy

- It's unmistakable. How could a giant amount of empty space be anything other than a sure sign of an overlapping universe?

- From the page: "Last August, astronomers working on the analysis of data being acquired by NASA's WMAP (Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe) satellite announced that they found a huge void in the universe. A void is a region of space that has much less material (stars, nebulae, dust and other material) than the average. Since our universe is relatively heterogeneous, empty spaces are not rare, but in this case the enormous magnitude of the hole is way outside the expected range. The hole found in the constellation of Eridanus is about a billion light years across, which is roughly 10,000 times as large as our galaxy or 400 times the distance to Andromeda, the closest "large"¯ galaxy.
The dimension of the hole is so big that at first glance, it results impossible to explain under the current cosmological theories, although scientists put forward some explanations based on certain theoretical models that might predict the existence of "giant knots"¯ in space known as topological defects."

- Wait, they see a bunch of empty space and go "Well, hell, maybe it means there are multiple universes"? Hrm...

 enjoiment rated 10 months ago- lmao, is it just me but they just discovered a rather big collection of nothing. So what? i thought it was pretty much assumed that the universe is chaotic and mostly empty anyhow? (remember hearing something like that at TEL)
I just love how they are just jumping to these huge conclusions when Occam's razor says its just a place devoid of any galaxies, universes, nova's, etc. Seriously if the universe is infinity weren't we bound to find a spot with nothing in it?!?!

- cool but the "unmistakable imprint " what scientist would talk in such absolute terms about something no one knows anything about
