An enormous cold spot in our universe could be explained by a cosmic defect in the fabric of space-time created shortly after the Big Bang, scientists say.

I tire of these juvenile posters who have nothing better to do than jump on these threads and mock serious scientific debate. Science threads should only be for deep thinking intellectuals with little or no sense of humor.

You can’t fix it with the heart of the TARDIS?

“An enormous cold spot in our universe could be explained by a cosmic defect in the fabric of space-time created shortly after the Big Bang, scientists say.”

A “defect” presumes an understanding of the design, which is suspect due to the reference to the “Big Bang”.

“science thread”

THAT’S IT!! (I would have said Eureka, but that’s the wrong century.)

We need to ponder a true science thread,to fix the fabric of the space time continuum!!!!!

But then we would need to ponder the sewing machine to sew the fabric....Oh, Lord, we’re doomed...

or, we could party like there’s no mamana.

I hope that isn’t what’s holding the fabric together. Because I’m seriously tempted to take it and eat it, and if I can barely restrain myself, I figure SOMEONE is going to give in to the temptation, and then we are in big trouble.

Why are they so certain that what they found is a distortion of the space-time continuum?

They are not certain. However, you must pretend believe in something to manifest those BIIIIG paychecks they get.

However, you must remember:

You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss, a sigh is just a sigh.
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by.

the CMB cold spot not to a cosmic defect, but to an enormous "hole" in our galaxy

We're going to have a problem if we are looking at cosmic background radiation and thinking of our own galaxy as having some bearing on the measurement.

keep the great unwashed from learning something they shouldn't lest they start mixing things in their garage and accidentally destroy the universe.

I hate it when that happens. Cold reboots take so long.

"Why is it science threads on this site are almost immediately mocked, and plastered with childish images?"

Well, using the term "defect" is the first reason for me with regard to this article. The fact this exists means it's not a defect but a feature of the cosmos. What's clearly defective (or incomplete) is our current understanding of the "space-time fabric". Only the most arrogant and egotistical could have the hubris to imply that we know all there is to know about the cosmos and if we discover a feature that doesn't conform to this understanding it must be a "defect."

The atheist religion of Faux Science, which postures as empirical, replicable science and pays its highly-degreed practitioners well to theorize, is one of my favorite targets for derision....

Baloney. It’s just the universes navel.

Forget about global warming, how do liberals propose will save the universe? If the universe is an expanding universe, someday all the stars may burn out, causing all life to cease. How do all the wise and brilliant trust fund lunatics propose we stop universal expansion?
