much simpler explanation. According to the “standard texts” about the big bang that I’ve read (Hawking and Forward, IIRC, as examples) there should have been as much anti-matter as matter created initially. Lot’s of work has gone into explaining why we don’t see evidence of it.
This is just the area where the matter and anti-matter of our single universe came together in symmetrical opposite “halves.” Enough of the matter/anti-matter at the edges have annihilated each other to leave this void between the two sectors. Occasionally there would still be stray matter going both ways, briefly, and spectacular events, but they’ll be hard to detect. We should be able to predict some detectable events to see if I’m right.
There, I’ve done the hard part and come up with a hypothesis , a theory and prediction. Now the rest of you get to work on testing it. I’m done here.
Oh Mr. Nobel? You gave one to the Goracle, why not me next year?
The cosmologists are small minded and egotistical at the same time. Why do they pretend to understand the universe when their observations constantly reveal new mysteries? And if they find evidence of “more” why do they talk in terms of “another universe”? Isn’t it obvious they have not yet discovered the bounds of the universe? Isn’t the universe everything, and they have only found some tiny fraction of everything?
WOW! They finally found Al Gore’s brain.
I bid 200 Quatloos on the newcomers!
I may have run into a few of these.
No, no, no. Didn't you hear? According to macro quantum theory and Schroedinger's really big cat we have interacted with it by observing it. This area was in a Heisenberg state of being and nothingness and when we looked at it the state vector collapsed and it all went away. This is going to start happening more and more often.
I'm not kidding. That's (kind of) what's being suggested by some.
Didn’t they, pardon the pun, unravel string theory?
Whenever I read something like this I am reminded that God’s creation is far more intricate and fabulous than anything our limited imagination could come up with. This stuff doesn’t harm my faith at all; in fact, I’m awestruck that we can even start to comprehend something as vast and fantastic as the universe. In His image, apparently.
thanks, bfl
Another universe? PSHAW! This observation merely confirms the long-standing Dunkin Theorem that our universe is doughnut-shaped...and these guys finally found the hole.
Nahhhh...it’s a virgo!

self ping, going to try this one when awake...
Define "other side" as it pertains to the universe.
Well, on the last super geeky universe thread I was on, I asked what was outside our universe, and what contained the little tiny dot that was our universe before the big bang, but all I got was derision. I then expressed concern for the turtle holding the earth on his back. That must be a big turtle who is holding up the new universe!
The trouble with this kind of discovery is, it makes the universe so incomprehensible, so large and awe-some, that it makes me wonder how in the hell any creator could possibly care about any insignificant speck in it, such as our earth, much less a meaningless little gnat on that speck, such as me. I hope he has deputies all over the place whose job it is to care.
In a parallel universe.
He does and He does.
