NFT: Scientists think they found proof of a parallel universe

Scientists believe they may have discovered evidence of a parallel universe that crashed into our own in a galactic impact mirroring a car crash.
Since 2004, when it was first spotted by NASA, scientists have been baffled by the discovery an unusually cold region of space which is 1.8 billion light years across and colder than its surroundings.
It was thought the region might have been a trick of light or it was colder because it had 10,000 less galaxies than other areas of the same size.
Now a new study has stumbled upon an incredible possibility, that the ‘Cold Spot’ cannot be explained as a void and was not due to “line-of-sight” effects.
Instead, researchers at Durham University believe it could be the first evidence of the “multiverse.”

Ruari Mackenzie, a Doctoral student at Durham University, affirmed, “The voids we have detected cannot explain the Cold Spot.” And, according to Prof. Shanks, “Perhaps the most exciting explanation is that the Cold Spot was caused by the collision between our universe and another bubble universe, believe it or not.” He insists that there has to be another explanation. “I remember some scientists suggesting that there could be detectable effects on the galaxy distribution after this ‘cosmic shunt' of two universes colliding. Basically colliding universes could leave a slightly anisotropic galaxy distribution in our own universe - a bit like a pile-up on the motorway. So we can look for this to test how seriously to take these ideas,” he said. 

The results found by the team of experts at Durham University were published in the monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society and we can't wait to read up on more findings of the theory. This could change everything—from the way we perceive our own lives to the way we perceive what lies beyond outer space, our Universe.

If it was a parallel universe then how did it "crash" into our univers

Maybe parallel isn't the correct term. Crazy stuff though.

It started off as a perpendicular universe, of course.

BTW. The writer of this article used the word "evidence." Newspaper writers seldom write their own headlines--the editors do that (in order to fit them in neatly on the page). The editors used the word "proof" which it is clearly not, but it is a shorter word than evidence, so it fits in better.

It's cool though, teams entering cryostasis will be guaranteed a bye the following week. "As always, we're concerned about the well-being of our players. But we really don't think it will be much different than an east coast team traveling to the west coast on a short week", Goodell said. "Might I remind you", he added, "players won't age during the cryosleep, so we're actually doing them a favor when you think about it".

Holy shit j_rud that caught me off guard and was hilarious.

Thanks Canton. If I'm understanding the article, that 'void' is  
Marty in Albany : 5/21/2017 10:14 pm : link
1.8 billion light years across, as compared to our Milky Way galaxy which is only 100,000 light years across. Wow! It is mammoth!

If the void is three billion light years away from Earth, can it be argued that parallel universes may have existed three billion years ago, but they may not exist today?

Nope. All time exists at once just like all space exists at once. The future and past are just directions like north and south.

So you are speculating that this alternate universe is actually hell?
That's the Berenstein Bears universe.

Sure it's correct, if you subscribe to theories about brane cosmology.

How do parallel universes collide? Three possibilities.  
manh george : 5/22/2017 12:40 pm : link
The following comes from minuscule understanding of this stuff, and could be entirely wrong, but I try.

1) The word parallel is being used differently, to simply mean one outside ours that doesn't usually intersect.

2) In some forms of non-Euclidian geometry, as I understand it, parallel lines do intersect.

3) In some theories of the universe, such as superstring, it has many more than three physical dimensions plus time. So spaces parallel in three dimensions could intersect in higher dimensions.

What if in a parallel universe I hate Star Trek but love cilantro?
