Most of the universe is not made of stars, galaxies, or beautiful glowing nebulae. Instead, the majority of it is what seems to be vast, silent emptiness. Huge cosmic voids stretching hundreds of millions of light years across, containing almost nothing at all. But these dark regions are not just empty space. They are dynamic structures that grow, merge, and shape the entire architecture of the universe.

What exactly are cosmic voids and how did they form? What makes them so strange, and what role might they play in the future of the universe?

    ???
    We cannot detect dark matter so how can we discern tendrils of it?
    We can see through voids, so why can't someone in a void see out? – > You would see galaxies just as we see them.

    Video seems to be emotional bs lies.

    Imagine the whole script for this video was made up by some guy who has no idea what he's talking about. He just walked into the wrong room and decided to wing it when someone asked him to explain voids.

    i know the likely hood of a response is unlikely but,when you guys made the black hole size video 4 years ago were you aware of the black hole phoenix a or did you chose ton 618 because the measurements are more precise and accurate

    There's actually empty pockets of space it's self the difference between a super void and a "cold" spot in space is that the is literally nothing in a cold spot space and time don't exist anymore, the universe is beautiful

    What if it's just a place with no planets and more planets that get destroyed more void beemes bigger? Why all this assumptions that it's impossible to get in or that's it's pushing itself etc etc
