No, not the length of Jade Goody's CV, this big hole in space that scientists have just noticed. Just noticed even though it's a billion trillion miles long. They don't know what's in it, but there appears to be no matter. Basically, nothing. I am not surprised. That is probably the end of space... or it could be the beginning of the start of another time.  | ||

My System: Sky+ Pace v3, and before that analouge 80cm dish with Prima by Pace box pointed at 19.2e (not very imaginative then!) | Correct me if I'm wrong, but space is warped (yes?), so couldn't it possibly theoritically be a tear in the wrap? I mean if that were the case, it would make it pretty mundane unless you could 'space hop' through tears. | ||

All this is actually hypothetical, as it would take mankind a few billion years or more to get the the one observed, unless the other is in your own back yard, or on a map, ala Time Bandits. | |||
