        Interesting... But isn't that supposed to be a Black Hole then? A kind of void in space? Just a bigger one or something.

          There's probably some techinical reason why it can't be classified as a black hole. I'd have thought it would be too.

            It's probably not classified as a black hole because gravity probably isn't insanely strong in the area. This is just a big gap in space where nothing really exists.

              Awesome, an outer space landfill. Get to work on those spaceship-dumpster trucks, NASA!

              This would be an awesome time to be a garbage man.

                xD

                So I'm guessin that this gap in space is like, a billion light years across or something? Because things are pretty far away from eachother even without a hole in between them.

                  I wonder why these holes dont fill up as the universe expands?

                      As far as I could tell from reading that article, the gap itself is expanding, which would mean that every star it came close to would disappear or something. Tell me if I'm wrong, I wasn't really concentrated when reading the article.

                        It's probably a void of dark matter. We should extract it and make hyperdrives for our spacecraft.

                                      Fine, but if your head explodes, i want your body to be snt to aqua for molestation burial.
                                      What i ment on the other half was that perhaps the univers isnt infinetly expanding, and that as it grow larger, the older parts become stretched. That would meen that one day, the universe would get so big that it couldnt stretch anymore, and we would get the big Crunch l:0

                                          The hole is already made. Go throw Split in that one.

                                          Pity we won't be around for the end of the universe.

                                            Can the universe end? Think: spacetime continuum.

                                              lol, off topic again =P

                                              Well anyway, I guess if that's a space of nothingness... maybe the universe will rip in half?

                                                  Maybe it's the center of the universe?

                                                  If the hole is expanding by equal incriments on all sides, then that would mean that the universe was expanding away from that spot.

                                                  And DS, if the universe stretches for an infinite distance in all directions, how is it possible for it to stretch, since it's already streached as much as it can? I mean, when you hit infinity, you can't really go any farther.

                                                    I guess it depends on whether or not the UNiverse it explanding, stable, or slowing/contracting. Space CAN be stretched, thats how we getr all these black holes. But I wasn't completely behind what I said up there, and even less now l:P

                                                    As far as I know, the Universe has no center. But in my book, that can't be. The Universe stated with the Big Bang right? As in, ginormouse explosion. Every explosion has to come from a central point somewhere.

                                                      Black holes are made when a star collapses in upon itself and goes supernova. It creats a highly intense gravitational field that sucks in EVERYTHING. Includeing electromagnetic waves (everything from Gamma rays to visible light [which is why they're called 'Black Holes'] and even farther down on the spectrum). From what I understand, it's a depression in the fabric of space, not a stretch. Though, I guess a depression is a stretch, so w/e.

                                                        Exactly.
                                                        It's been established already that it's not a black hole, and it's safe to say it's not a stretch in space either. So does anybody else have any ideas they'de like to throw in?

                                                          The center of the universe.

                                                          Now when we say it's a hole does that mean it's a void?
