Astronomers spy a gargantuan black void in space.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070823/ap_on_sc/universe_hole Is this even an important discovery? ...being that, you know, they kind of discovered NOTHING. Which isn't really anything special. I predict it's either one of two things: a giant pac-man-ish type thing is eating away our galaxy, leaving giant ((sorry, GARGANTUAN)) holes of nothing, or it's Jesus! =D But I digress. Is this "discovery" even important? |

I don't know. Usually these space things won't affect us until we're long gone, but if it makes them feel better that they've "discovered" this, so be it.

Do you consider a black hole in the universe "nothing"? Matter doesn't seem to exist there but there could be something else; we just don't have the word for it. :P
6 billion trillion miles? HOLY. I want to see a photo. |

I think 6 billion trillion miles of empty matter that will someday suck us in is pretty important

That's funny, i thought this topic was about [rap star white people hate]!</hackery>
It's an important discovery because astronomists haven't seen anything like it, so it kind of rewrites the rules a bit. For example, how did this get there? Maybe something we thought was solid isn't so solid. |

Thats interesting. It could be an important discovery if the holes could affect us somehow. Do they know if its a black hole? Or is it just like *throws a rock* *hears the clunk*
