Very interesting Janne. The celestial bodies in these voids attract each other due to the gravitational influence they have on each other whereas they repulse the gravitational influence of the bodies in the other voids, separated from the void in question by the filaments.


Correction: The voids are as good as empty, possibly filled with dark matter. Galaxies accumulate in the junctions of the filaments.

Dark matter are according to them filling the voids and make the universe behave like it does.

cogitationis nomine complector id omne, quod sic in nobis est ut ejus immediate conscii simus"


I am with Tullio on this.

Sic transit gloria mundi from which I translate as thus flees fame (in the sense of excellence). Sort of like the blind men and the Elephant .
