Dark flow

[endofdays89]

Dark flow is the phenomenon behind whole clusters of galaxies moving as if it were being pulled in by a point outside the visible universe. Basically galaxies are all moving towards this same area. But what is it?

Maybe one day scientists will discover there is a big black hole in the center of the universe or something. As if the universe wasn't weird enough.......

Deduced via cosmic microwave background. Of course it's highly speculative atm, it's smoke before the fire. We need more data and testable theory.

I think youre talking about the Great Attractor....which I dont think is a black hole.

maybe when everything gets sucked into that one point the energy will be too great forcing another big bang
