The so-called Bullet Cluster of galaxies lies 3.8 billion light-years away. It's one of hundreds that have been found to be carried along by a mysterious "dark flow," an October 2008 study says.

The dark flow is caused by unknown clumps of matter outside the known universe, which are pulling our entire universe toward them, the study suggests. The report hints that, whatever may be beyond the known universe, it's like nothing we know. [Image courtesy NASA/STScI/Magellan/U. Arizona/D. Clowe, et al]

Go with the flow, Joe.

So Science can’t determine how or why the Big Bang happened and it appears they’ve conceded they’ll never know what is “pulling” at everything.

And they laugh at us for believing in God.

I kinda like the idea that our incomprehensibly large universe may be a tiny part of something larger.

a movement the researchers have dubbed dark flow

heck. I was just calling it the Obama Presidency and gay marriage. HMMM. I need to kick up my metaphor skills--LOL.

And yet in all of this I found my dear sweet wife.

“...do I really need to say it?”

Dark flow - Dark energy - Dark matter

Stop it now, that’s racist.

[Beowulf9]

Maybe whatever is pulling at the universe made the big bang in the first place? Kind of like a reaction and not an action?

Lots of room for speculation. Pretty fascinating stuff.

[GreenHornet]

Everything in the known universe is said to be racing toward the massive clumps of matter at more than 2 million miles (3.2 million kilometers) an hour -- a movement the researchers have dubbed dark flow.

This fits in with my theory that the known universe is a tiny speck floating in a gigantic toilet that has just been flushed.

Ah yes, the old ‘all sh!t is about to hit the wall and flatten out’ (ai ath twa fo) theory. After all, linear time has to flatten out on planar time at some where/when. They call it eternity, but it’s just way big present, all the ‘time’.

Cosmic socialists attempting to share the wealth of our Universe. Can’t escape the bastards.

[ConservativeCompendium.net]

racing toward the massive clumps of matter

Hmmmm. A new source of matter? A new source of gravity that negates the need for a theory of "dark matter".

[Bellflower]

Another scientific theory that speaks of other dimensions and us being just a part of a much bigger (eternal?) whole. It sounds like the Bible. Our cosmos, heaven, hell, the eternal that lies behind all things-God, all said in a scientific way. Atheist argued that this material world was all that there is. Well that certainly is not true.

[SunkenCiv]

whoops. I’ve duplicated something that’s already been duplicated.

I have long suspected that the universe is forcing me into this womans orbit...why this is so Im not sure

[The Cajun]

Hell, everything in the universe has a tendency to spin, why not the whole damned thing is spinning (we would never know it since we have no reference). This would explain why everything is flying outward without the need of some great attractor over the horizon we can never prove.....Or put another way, when God created the primordial fireball of the big bang, he put a little English on it as expansion began.
