Maybe you already know all this, but to other curious readers:

The great attractor is about 200 Mly away. Directly behind it, 600 Mly away from us, is the Shapley Supercluster, towards which the great attractor is itself moving. In the opposite direction is a underdensity, called the "Dipole repeller", and between the two, where we are, is a "dark flow".

I welcome our dark lord, Cthulhu. May his comings bless us for generations to come.

If i could write i would write a novel about the great flow. That was awesome and terrifying to read.

Someone is probably going to vote your comment down on the premise that Cthulu is unhelpful to the conversation. They shouldn't: it's not any more fantastic than the various laymans' pet theories here which have, for some indecipherable reason, been upvoted to the top of the discussion, despite having no connection to real physics whatsoever.

In a more serious note; i actually think the imagination and fantasy they is born in alot of people after reading about the mysteries of the universe is responsible for a many physics grad.

Taking things /seriously/ is, imo, what keeps people out of stem. Stemmers are, if anything, fantasy rich and colorful people, physicists in particular!

Im glad not many people chose to downvote me too :)

If this thread continues any further, we're going to start talking about the dark side of the Force.
