A map of the Boötes Void. The Boötes Void (/ b oʊ ˈ oʊ t iː z / boh-OH-teez) (colloquially referred to as the Great Nothing) [1] is an approximately spherical region of space found in the vicinity of the constellation Boötes, containing only 60 galaxies instead of the 2,000 that should be expected from an area this large, hence its name.
There exist a number of ways for finding voids with the results of large-scale surveys of the universe. Of the many different algorithms, virtually all fall into one of three general categories. [27] The first class consists of void finders that try to find empty regions of space based on local galaxy density. [28]
The world has no empty space within it, but forms one united whole. This is a necessary result of the sympathy and tension which binds together things in heaven and earth." [ This quote needs a citation ] Chrysippus discusses the Void in his work On Void and in the first book of his Physical Sciences ; so too Apollophanes in his Physics ...

The Local Void is a vast, empty region of space, lying adjacent to the Local Group. [3] [4] Discovered by Brent Tully and Rick Fisher in 1987, [5] the Local Void is now known to be composed of three separate sectors, separated by bridges of "wispy filaments". [4]
Likewise, a universe which contracts slightly will continue contracting. According to Einstein, "empty space" can possess its own energy. Because this energy is a property of space itself, it would not be diluted as space expands. As more space comes into existence, more of this energy-of-space would appear, thereby causing accelerated ...
Outer space, especially the relatively empty regions of the universe outside the atmospheres of celestial bodies; Vacuum, a volume of space that is essentially empty of matter, such that its gaseous pressure is much less than atmospheric pressure; Free space, a perfect vacuum as expressed in the classical physics model
Each level of the game takes place on a space dreadnought named after a different metal. The last level is named after the fictional element uridium. The cassette inlay card says the name was created by one of the game developers who thought uridium really existed. [86] (Not to be confused with real element iridium.) Uru: Marvel Comics
