What caused the Boötes void?

It has been theorized that the Boötes void was formed from the merger of smaller voids, much like the way in which soap bubbles coalesce to form larger bubbles. This would account for the small number of galaxies that populate a roughly tube-shaped region running through the middle of the void.

What was the third civilization?

Human society has gone through two forms of civilization, which are agricultural civilization and industrial civilization. The 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China has raised the target of Construction of Ecologicaly Civilization, which is “the third civilization” in the history of human development.

How many galaxies can fit in the Boötes void?

The largest known bubble in the cosmic froth is a shell of emptiness about 350 million light-years in diameter, discovered in 1981 beyond the constellation Bootes, or the Herdsman. It is large enough to accommodate 2,000 galaxies the size of our Milky Way.

Is Bootes Void empty?

Boötes is not quite empty: it turns out to contain a sprinkling of galaxies arranged in a tubular shape. This could be the remains of the shared edge of two smaller voids before they combined.

Where is the Bootes Void?

Boötes void/Coordinates

Is Bootes Void a black hole?

The Boötes Void is around 330 million light years in diameter, where as the largest black hole is about ten light years across.

Is the Milky Way in the Bootes Void?

Boötes void is the largest known void scientists have found. According to astronomer Greg Aldering, the scale of the void is such that “If the Milky Way had been in the center of the Boötes void, we wouldn’t have known there were other galaxies until the 1960s.”

Is there a civilization in the Bootes Void?

Stranger still, is just how empty the Bootes Void is. It contains only 60 galaxies, around 10,000 fewer than we should expect to find in such a vast expanse. Many believe this means the void is the first observable proof of a Kardashev scale III “master race” civilization.

What is Boötes void in the sky?

Boötes void. The Boötes void (or The Great Nothing) is an enormous, approximately spherical region of space, containing very few galaxies. It is located in the vicinity of the constellation Boötes, hence its name. Its center is located at approximately right ascension 14 h 50 m and declination 46°.

What is a Type 3 civilization?

Type III. A civilization in possession of energy on the scale of its own galaxy, with energy consumption at ≈4×10 44 erg/sec for our galaxy, the Milky Way. A Kardashev Type III civilization can control an entire galaxy.

Is the void proof of a Kardashev scale III “master race” civilization?

Many believe this means the void is the first observable proof of a Kardashev scale III “master race” civilization. In 1964 Nikolai Kardashev – now Deputy Director of Russia’s Astro Space Centre – published his theory for extra terrestrial development,arguing that civilizations develop in 4 stages.
