Bootes void: I am the lonliest and largest void.
Minecraft void: Hold my nothing.

[AsobiMedio]

Wow this place is almost as dark as my future.

[mr.knightthedetective]

Imagine if there's a single habitable planet out there. Life without sunlight. Life in complete isolation.

The loneliest is when you're surrounded by people yet you feel lonely.

"This is the Loneliest Place in the Entire Universe" I mean you didnt have to make a video about me.

[KesselRunner]

One thing that often stops me in my tracks is that we will never know the actual state of the Universe; I mean as it is right *now.* Everything we can observe is separated not just by vast distances but by vast times. So basically even the most advanced image of the Universe is not what it looks like, but what it looked like.

_Loneliest place in the Universe..._

*You mean the part where Squidward living alone in the Afterlife after he died on a time machine?*

[stanleys.]

Milky Way the Cow should have a spin-off channel.

Very interesting video. Any advanced civilization living in the void would see distant galaxies, but probably no or very few nearby ones. This may cause them to think that either galaxy formation has ceased (or is ceasing) or, indeed, they are the center of the universe and other galaxies are flying away from them.

Just some thoughts on ‘spooky action at a distance’. Lets take the double slit experiment as an example and assume that particles are waves. Lets imagine the particle wave as a spike on a flat surface. The spike can be narrow or almost flat, with the tip of the spike barely distinguishable. The flatness of the wave is influenced by its surroundings and time. If left alone for a while it tends to become flatter. If accelerated it gets pullet out flat faster. A measuring device typically creates an environment that causes the wave to spike sharply. That is the intented effect of a measuring device: Forcing vague spikes to show themselves. Now lets follow the particle through the slit experiment in the undisturbed case. It gets accelerated and thus a relatively wide spike. The wavefront of the spike reaches the slits way earlier than the tip of the spike. The reflected wavefront starts to interact with the slit like waterwaves through slits. Its forms a nice interference pattern. Also the spike itself, however barely distinguishable, gets tossed around and redirected according to this interference pattern. If we now add a measuring device, we introduce something that causes the wave to be less spread out to be able to distinguish and measure it. Now the particle spike waves approach the slit. The reflection waves are now aimed to make the wave less spread out. The spike is now so small that no interference pattern appears. It seems like the spike was recognized when passing the measuring device, but in reality the wave interaction started way earlier. This made me conclude that ‘spooky action at a distance’ is not breaking the maximum speed limit of information, but are rather particles that are so spread out that they already interact with distant objects. It can sort of anticipate future events. To us an event apears as instant, but it had been in the making way earlier.

The void is the aftermath of a megadeath weapon/bomb developed by an ancient civilization

[Killuminati]

4:10 that was my first thought, maybe the whole thing is just full of dyson spheres ^^

[bigboyman]

we are already in a supervoid, called the KBC Void

Bootes void:I am the loneliest place in the universe.
Anthem servers: hold my emptiness.

If we're lucky to not be in one of these voids, doesn't that mean that it's equally likely that something unlucky has happened to us already? Like, for example, existing past the point of time where intergalactic movement is possible?

[brendarua]

What caused the little voids to stop.. wait of it... _a-voiding_ each other? Where did it go? Will it feed again? So many questions!

[levkotlyarov]

3:40 “So, what exactly is the void made of?”



*QUARKS AND STUFF*

[NotHPotter]

As improbable as this void is, it's ever less likely that two popular YouTubers post videos about the same topic within a few days of each other.

[NotFlappy]

3:24 I don't think that's correct, it doesn't seem to make much sense.

The observable universe is a lot bigger than the void, that would still be true if the milky way were in the middle of the void
