The Milky Way is moving through space because of hidden void

Must watch short video.

Earth is a speck in the video.

The story:




Milky Way galaxy is being pushed across the universe



(CNN)Our home galaxy, the Milky Way, is being pushed across the universe by a large unseen force, according to new research. Although it may not seem like a friendly gesture, the newly discovered Dipole Repeller is actually helping our galaxy on its journey across the expanding universe.
Researchers have known that the galaxy was moving at a relative speed for the past 30 years, but they didn't know why.

Scientists have no clue as to the laws of what's out there.

We're moving at better than 600 kilometers per second, with respect to the cosmic microwave background. That amounts to better than 50 million kilometers, each and every day, or roughly the distance to our nearest neighboring planets, at their closest.

In a year that comes to more than 180 billion kilometers. Quite a ride!

Correct, the whole lot is pure speculation, whipped up by the pseudo sci fi tabloid press, and read by gullible people.

Isn't lucky that our scientists arn't a horde pessimists, otherwise we wouldn't learn anything new hey? ;-)

Cheers.

Lots of research seems to be being done, as it should be, but I haven't seen any world shattering breakthrough's yet.

Chris did you miss the Ligo gravity wave? That was a breakthrough IMO.

Well. Some scientific research can be very funny.

Chris methinks understanding gravity could very well be useful in interstellar transportation.
Your slamming abstract science if applied retroactively would preclude semiconductors. You never know what a new discovery will lead to.

Quantum physics could give us a quantum computer. Federico Faggin, who built the first microprocessor, MCS4, the granddaddy of all Intel and AMD microprocessors, says that quantum computers are the future of information technology. I still have a copy of an Intel 8080 Microcomputer Systems user manual, dated September 1975. The computer is not listed as aon application of it. Applications listed are Intelligent terminals, Gaming machines, Cash registers, Accounting and billing machines, Telephone switching control, Numerically controlled machines and Process control.
Intel at that time was making money selling 16 Kbit memory units to mainframe manufacturers and did not want to irk them. The term "microprocessor" is not used in that manual.
