What a great idea!..
but uhm, on my ballot here in Texas, we only had 4 presidential candidates listed. Not all the candidates make it onto all of the ballots in every district. This is a fairly common struggle for third/fourth/etc parties. Getting on a ballot is a different process in several states, and many don't even qualify for the write-in status.
Personally, I think it'd be great to have all the national candidates listed, and to have some similarity (or possibly something more high tech than punch cards -{mine was so small that I had doubts i did the right one, and i have better than 20/20 and it was just one column!}) across the nation.
I don't have a PhD.. but here's a rough guess at how it could have happened.
Assuming everything was moving outward, some further out than others, then I suppose it's possible for galaxies to start slipping in towards each other as space-time bends and ripples. If a large star collapsed into a blackhole, it would create that dent in the "fabric of space/time".
http://www.intothecosmos.com/faq/ is a spiffy sight for beginners on the subject of black holes.. http://www.ncsa.uiuc.edu/Cyberia/NumRel/GravWaves. html - and a good sight to understand gravitational waves.
Hopefully someone with more education on the subject can give a better answer;>
