One thousand galaxy clusters (these are seriously huge) are surging along at 1,000 kilometers per second, caught in some mysterious "dark flow". (New Scientist) It may be "a sign that other universes nestle next door."
The "exotic explanation"? There's a hole in the universe. Rather, "the tiny patch of vacuum that inflated to become our universe [may be] quantum entangled with other pieces of vacuum."
Are we in danger of being sucked into this vortex? Not right away. The phenomena is about three billion light years from Earth.

About Me
- pound360
- I started pound360 to channel my obsession with vitamins, running and the five senses. Eventually, I got bored focusing on all that stuff, so I came back from a one month hiatus in May of 2007 (one year after launching Pound360) and broadened my mumblings here to include all science.
