Astronomers Find Huge Hole in Universe
realwx writes "Astronomers are surprised by a recent discovery of a space hole that is nearly a billion light years across. "Not only has no one ever found a void this big, but we never even expected to find one this size," said researcher Lawrence Rudnick of the University of Minnesota. Rudnick's colleague Liliya R. Williams also had not anticipated this finding. "What we've found is not normal, based on either observational studies or on computer simulations of the large-scale evolution of the universe," said Williams, also of the University of Minnesota.""
God is giving you the goatse.
Platform advocacy is like choosing a favorite severely developmentally disabled child.
Maybe its a civilization that managed to blow themselves out of history trought an accident somehow? If it is, I hope we can control that technology better when we advance enough to have it.

Next time, remove the lens cap.
Sounds like a whole lot of nothing to me.

Your theory of a donut shaped universe intrigues me, Homer. I may have to steal it. That's the first thing I thought of when I read this.
The scientists had just recently answered the bugging question "Is there a hole on Mars?" but now they too had answered a bigger question still.. "Is there a hole out there, in the expanse of the universe?"
A great day to be alive....
Well I guess the ones who used to live out there had something similar like our LHC...
...and it was overlooked all this time. How's that for a security flaw?

is that in the middle of all of infinite space, they've now found space without anything in it? Let me know when they build something exciting there.
don't worry about it, god is patching that on tuesday.
The hole is not considered serious, since it is not remotely exploitable. It will be fixed in Universe 1.1, which is to be released shortly.
Usage: km/h for speed (kilometers per hour); kph for very slow impulses (kilopond hours).
How many Albert Halls is that?
What?
``More info here (with pictures..)''
Pictures?! Of nothing?!
Please correct me if I got my facts wrong.
A photo of a hole...in the the biggest emptiness in the universe. I can see that one winning competitions.
throw new NoSignatureException();
...so that's where my socks went.
The only possible interpretation of any research whatever in the 'social sciences' is: some do, some don't
Fry: Let me ask you something. Has anyone ever discovered a hole in nothing with monsters in it? 'Cause if I'm the first, I want them to call it a "Fry Hole".

Fry: So what do you nerds want?
Nichelle Nichols: It's about that rip in space-time that you saw.
Stephen Hawking: I call it a Hawking Hole.
Fry: No fair! I saw it first!
Stephen Hawking: Who is the Journal of Quantum Physics going to believe?

Farnsworth: Yes, we tore the universe a new space-hole, alright. But it's clenching shut fast!
Universe needs to stop running defrag every few million years, it's leaving giant empty space holes and confusing the scientists.
As requested, a pic.

There. I even framed it for you.
If you copy and paste what's in the frame into something else, you can zoom in as far as you want.
Oh, I should mention that it's the negative.
Exam 4/C again. Maybe I'll do better this time.
