00:00Scientists found a hole in the universe, not a black hole, an actual void, one billion
00:06light-years across, where almost nothing exists, and nobody can explain what caused it.
00:13In 2007, astronomers studying the cosmic microwave background detected an enormous
00:19cold region in space, a supervoid stretching approximately one billion light-years across.
00:25Inside it, there are almost no galaxies, almost no stars, almost no matter of any kind, just
00:33vast, almost empty space where the large-scale structure of the universe simply disappears.
00:39This region is called the Eridanus Supervoid, and it is the largest known structure in the
00:45observable universe.
00:47Its existence challenges our models of how the universe formed.
00:50Nothing in our current cosmological understanding fully accounts for a void this large.
00:56Some physicists have proposed it could be evidence of a collision between our universe and another
01:02universe in the multiverse.
01:04A bruise left behind from a cosmic impact billions of years ago.
01:09That proposal has not been confirmed, but neither has any other explanation.
01:14The Quran says in Surah Al-Mulk, Do you not see what Allah has created?
01:20There are no inconsistencies in His creation.
01:24Look again.
01:25The universe keeps hiding things that our models say should not be there.
01:30Comment.
01:31Does a billion light-year hole in the universe disturb you?
01:34Follow, Muslim Space Agency.
01:42Sigh.
