The Great Attractor: A Truly Massive Mystery
About | Information | History | Online | Facts | Discovery
There's something out there SO massive that it's pulling on every object within hundreds of millions of light years. But we can't see it! So what DO we know? Today on SciShow Space, Reid Reimers tells us more about the Great Attractor. ---------- Like SciShow?

so you're saying that far far away space time has a huge crater in it and everything is sliding towards that ? wouldn't that make it even deeper and pull stuff from farther away ?
-
these videos are just reminded me how small we are..... if the universe is as big as a football stadium... i wonder how big we are as big as an atom? maybe? or smaller? definetly smaller..

The only "great attractor" I know is (CLASSIFIED).
-
Anyone think that they are Kugelblitz's?
-
Everyone knows the Great Attractor is the bastard that caused the New York black out in the 70s

الله الله الله

i bet its a giant black hole and a lot of neutron star

actually, this "thing" is a bit of a relief to me. we don't know what it is or what exactly its doing, but when i heard this my first thought went to the great collapse theory. this great force (in my mind) might be the process of the great collapse in which all energy in the universe collapses into a single point and returning us into nothingness. but i like this theory the most because after the collapse there is (in my mind) a decent chance another big bang will occur. (for anyone who actually read this, thank you, this is just my own mind wandering and i figured i would let the "world" know of my thoughts.)

Get ready for the Silver Surfer!😏

even pretending this is an immediate threat is so cringey (this is the first time I have felt the need to even use this word in my lifetime) even if it's for comedic reflief, fuck you I came here for science not hype

Looks like the Idiot God has awoken and we are being pulled into his grasp. Farewell fellow investigators and humans, the great old one Azathoth is wanting to greet us.

Is it a giant black hole?
-
Bolder's Ring.

Why did the Virgo's Supercluster image had "black holes" in it? I KNOW, but i mean, chunks of the picture were taken out.

It's Bowser's Galaxy Generator! XD

Pants changed... continue.

So, if the Great Attractor is also moving within the Hubble Flow, that means we'll never actually reach it? We'll always just be pursuing it?
