Largest Object in the Universe Discovered

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the that's-a-big-twinkie dept.

    Playing sort of fast and loose with the definition of "object," aren't they? I generally think of an object as a single item, not a collective. If this is an "object," then why isn't the universe itself an object? And if the universe is an object, then it's necessarily larger than this one.
