Thanks for getting straight to the point without rambling nonsense to extend the video to 10 min. Really Appreciated!

"Small voids"
"Tens of millions of light years across"

[duxae]

"only 60 galaxies"
"only"

It does get under my skin when people use Barnard 68s image and claim it's the Bootes Void. One is 0.25 light years in diameter, and the other is 330 million light-years! That's like using a picture of grain of sand and claiming it's a planet

[idontknowanymore]

When you're such an introvert that you move to the Bootes void

[NostraFnDamus]

Is there a more manly name than the Draco-Hercules Supercluster?

[jogevara]

Thanks for the truth. I always thought that cloud image was the void.

[Jadinandrews]

Great video, thanks for not stretching it to ten minutes unnecessarily.

When this guy talks, it sounds like he’s always smiling. Just imagine a guy smiling while saying this to you.

Imagine being a really talented intelligent species that developed a means to visit other stars only to find that your tiny galaxy is in the middle of a supervoid. Actually imagine again that the species only sees other stars in it's galaxy and no other objects and so never bothered to develop super telescopes to look into the black sky beyond their galaxy.

[curiousfiend]

These superclusters kinda look like gigantic space neurons.

This video format is perfect, especially for people who are just looking for answers on a specific topic. Longer more in depth videos are great, don't get me wrong, but this video was short, to the point, and clear as to what it is. Great video! Keep it up!

YouTube has finally fixed the render for this video, so I've now made it public! Enjoy it in its flicker free glory 😁

Edit: people are still seeing some flickering. I've emailed YouTube again, hopefully they will sort it out... sorry if it's affecting you! Somehow it's fine on my PC and phone yet I can see it flickering on my wife's phone too. Very annoying.

Second edit: fixed again!

It's been a while since I had one of those real existential crisis's but somehow the realization that the area of the universe we're in, despite it's seeming emptiness, is still nowhere near as dark and lonely as the universe can get fills me with a profound feeling of horror and dread.

[DeathRite]

3:12 so the universe in the end is a minecraft block?

[Ziggerath]

Soo many youtubers spread a crazy amount of misinformation on this subject

[Ghosteriz]

You think you are lonely:
Tiny galaxy inside the void: guess im gonna hold the beer myself.

edit: ive no idea why all the likes but thank you very much 😀

[TheImperialTeacher]

Could you imagine how an intelligent race would be affected after coming to the realisation that they were drifting so far from anything else in the universe?

[bugsyplays]

I was always skeptical of that image.
The way the stars just sort of blend into black looked exactly like when something is in front of the camera lol.

Finally, someone that realises that the misleading image is actually an unrelated absorption nebula, and not a supervoid. If you photograph the Bootes Void, you won't see a literal big black void, because there will be both stars and galaxies in front of it, and behind it. You likely won't even realise there is a void at first glance. You would need to do some measurements of the objects in your field of view first before you make that conclusion.
