Can’t believe astronomers missed the shaft
“Gotta honor the cock.” —D20
Based purely on the thumbnail image alone I’m going to assume it was located in the “Cocknballs Nebula”.
A bridge, you say? Then we can cross to other galaxies! Our overpopulation problems are solved!
On a more serious note, I wonder how much this would increase our ability to cross the gulfs. Assuming we could eventually build machines that can endure for hundreds of thousands of years, would the presence of a gas bridge would make ramscoops a more viable intergalactic option?
…for those distances we’re talking hundreds of millions of years at relativistic velocities, even billions…
Stuff lasting that long? Capitalism will never allow it!
And then they used the word “could” which made it all meaningless blather and conjecture. Science for likes and clicks, who needs a fuckin’ hypothesis, amirite?
who needs a fuckin’ hypothesis
everyone. Its how theories are formed,
but yes science journalism is shitty and intentionally fails,0 to indicate the difference between an idea, hypothesis and theory. Just to gain clicks.
Well, it’s not a simple page with science journalism, it’s the official page of the European Space Agency (ESA), not TikToc or YouTube. It’s certainly a hypothesis, but for sure it’s not something that cannot be taken seriously.
