Earth could be in a huge void, Big Bang sound waves suggest
Hey, Space Placers! If we are located in a region with below-average density such as the green dot, then matter would flow away from us due to stronger gravity from the surrounding denser regions, as shown by the red arrows. Credit Moritz Haslbauer and Zarija Lukic via RAS Today we have a very intriguing announcement from the Royal Astronomical Society (RAS) that suggests our planet is located in a huge void in space . As explained in this excellent article : "Earth and our entire Milky Way galaxy may sit inside a mysterious giant hole which makes the cosmos expand faster here than in neighbouring regions of the universe, astronomers say." "Their theory is a potential solution to the 'Hubble tension' and could help confirm the true age of our universe, which is estimated to be around 13.8 billion years old." "The latest research – shared at the Royal Astronomical Society’s National Astronomy Meeting (NAM) in Durham – shows that sound waves from the ...
