TEN space dollars? Small timer... I want REAL action!

"Dark flow" is no fluke, suggests a new study that strengthens the case for unknown, unseen "structures" lurking on the outskirts of creation.
In 2008 scientists reported the discovery of hundreds of galaxy clusters streaming in the same direction at more than 2.2 million miles (3.6 million kilometers) an hour.
This mysterious motion can't be explained by current models for distribution of mass in the universe. So the researchers made the controversial suggestion that the clusters are being tugged on by the gravity of matter outside the known universe.
Now the same team has found that the dark flow extends even deeper into the universe than previously reported: out to at least 2.5 billion light-years from Earth.

LOL
I thought we were supposed to stop having that “dark flow” in the middle of the night when we were kids...
No..Queegac would say “Dude, the leader of this region called America has a leader who depends on a teleprompter and the mate looks like a female from the planet Sasquatch”
Only question I have is now that we have observed it
is it still doing the same thing?
The invisible space cat is clawing at them? (Just kidding)
If it is outside our universe, and more than likely traveling at the speed of light or near it, then we will never know for certain. It will never be more than a leap of faith by scientists. I put this in the same category as the infinite number of parallel universes theory.
"40 Quatloos the American Earthlings are stupid enough to keep the pelosi creature in office even after this spit in their collective faces. As we have seen so many times, freedom is quickly and easily squandered by lesser intellects."
Pathetic earthlings. Hurling your bodies out into the void, without the slightest inkling of who or what is out here. If you had known anything about the true nature of the universe, anything at all, you would've hidden from it in terror.
Theoretical physics has totally gone to hell. The basic density of space in our galaxy is similar to that of the area including our sun and AC i.e. about one dust mote every four miles, and the density of space between galaxies has to be vastly less than that. There is no way gravity does ANYTHING worth talking about at those distances. Gravity is the weakest force in nature and does not control the cosmos, period.
String and Multiverse Theory are basically forms of Theology. The difference from traditional religion is that the high priests of these Theologies have PhD’s in physics, etc. That doesn’t make their theories any more valid than Catholicism or Hinduism. They are pure belief systems without evidence. Multiverse Theory is especially attractive because it is impossible to prove. Grant money can flow unhindered forever because of it. People are simply expected to believe it because the “experts” say it is so.
We need to find simpler explanations to the universe.
Good science answers little questions with each new discovery, but raises millions of other questions we never considered before.
We need to keep searching, but the more we learn, the more humble we should feel.
Fits my scheme of things unknown.
Ok, if not gravity then what other physical force creates the large-scale structures that we see in the cosmos?
yep - for short response!

ok no more Rosie O’Donnell period jokes.
Sounds like the speed at which the Obama faction is spending America's future.
yep - for a short answer
money - for a concrete answer
prove it - for a non answer
