Nothing is a term we use often but it seems to me that one simply can not find it
... but in my quest to find nothing I have started thinking about the voids.
The voids are those regions between galaxy clusters/groups/filaments/... I recall one void was discovered that was some half a billion lights years across (maybe larger) and without being specific as to size we can at least say they are huge.
What appears very strange is that there is nothing in them... and if you have better info nows the time
... when I say nothing there are no galaxies, no stars and not even gas it seems
...
Still one could reason that electro magnetic energy will pass thru such and that if one were in the middle of one you would expect to see the surrounding most distant galaxies. No doubt even we peer thru them to see many distant galaxies.
To me they seem possibly inconsistent with the expectations one could form if we work with the big bang model which for me suggests that at a point energy and matter was rather uniformly spread around the place so its absence from such vast volumes of space seems difficult to explain...
What do you think about this... on the one hand it would seem that the voids must have always been there.. if not at some point the matter was sucked out to be distributed amoungst the closest galaxies.
Maybe the voids are bits of nothing that existed before BB and got spread around
... maybe they are where the bodies of photons are buried
...
So what are your views on nothing?
