Post Centre of the Universe? I think not. Evidence of another universe? Someone thinks so.

What you think, have we found the centre of the Universe?
I can think of no reason why the WMAP cold spot in Eridanus, which is believed by several astrophysicists to be due to a “supervoid” – an about 900 million light-year diameter area with an unusually low matter density – should be more likely to be the center of mass of the universe – if this concept is even meaningful.

If Laura Mersini-Houghton hypotheses are correct, however, it may be evidence of the existence of another universe, regions of which are quantum entangled with our own. The only info of any length on the subject I’ve been able to find is a New Scientist article (available a few PgDns into this webpage), which (as is usually in my experience the case for NS articles) doesn’t have much technical detail or reference to where to get any, but states that if Mersini-Houghton’s hypothesis is correct, there should be a similar void in the southern sky.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
