Fermi paradox solved: We’re out in the boonies and no self respecting intelligent lifeform would be wasting their time wandering around here
It goes the other way too. Paradox solved: We’re in an island of stability, and life doesn’t get the chance to develop in denser, more chaotic regions.
Unless there is spice here which the Empire needs. Earth’s bio-organic molecules may very well be unique in the entire cosmos.
We have used almost all of our oil. That’s why they don’t want us.
Ahhh, fine, I guess it’s my turn anyway. I’ll be back in a bit.
Galactic Quarantine.
We got put in time-out.
Saw a video about this. Apparently galactic voids are pretty hard to enter for reasons that elude my 6am brain. Something to do with gravity.
It’s basically the same reason why it’s so hard to leave Earth. You can’t just jump. Or fly in an aeroplane. You need a rocket with enough fuel. Otherwise you will fall back down again.
So a black hill.
In astronomy, Galaxy clusters are just areas where the density of galaxies is above average and voids are areas where the density is below average. Galaxies attract each other, so the material for Galaxy clusters has to come from somewhere, and that somewhere is voids.
That and dark energy. Although this may apply for cosim super-voids and not a void in a cluster, but the expansion of space is faster in areas of space that have less mass than cosmic strings. So if someone built a ship and tried to enter a void they would have to overcome the ‘escape’ (not really but I don’t care enough to use the correct terms correctly) velocity of the galaxy, and the expanding space ahead of them.
Dark matter just makes voids more isolated from each other. Our void is still within the greater Laniakea Supercluster, but our immediate area is very sparse. The only galactic merger that the Milky Way will experience is with Andromeda in 1.5 billion years, and maybe with Traingulum a bit after. But there will be a ton happening in the Virgo Cluster next door as those galaxies are all close enough to each other that gravity is the predominant force in the region. But the galaxies in the middle of the cluster will gather towards their gravitational center, while the galaxies at the periphery of the cluster will form a “shell” of sorts. Voids are just the bubbles that remain from the gathering of clusters.
I think it’s to do with the combined gravity of the “strings” of galaxies, stars, etc. being far stronger than nearly nothing.
Oh, that explains… gestures broadly
Why do they got skulls? Are they, like, the baddies?
They had a based designer, but yeah.
Part of the point is that the Emperor is also not perfect. He got too full of himself which led to his deification against his will. He was also literally an imperialist and an authoritarian.
As I interpret the lore his intentions were largely noble but his hubris and refusal to acknowledge the existence of the Chaos gods led to the disillusionment of many of his kids/generals, thus leading to the Horus Heresy and the shitty state of the 41st millennium.
Quoting THE GOD EMPEROR OF MANKIND:
“Guys im not a god, just a man”I’ll go and see whos knocking on my door now.
Though joking aside, yeah that was the issue. He was just human. Powerful one, but still a human.
And a genocidal fascist.
It’s not subtle.
That’s the fun part, they are all baddies!
Bow to the dark ones and be set free kinda deal
Not again!
“They’re made of cheesits.”
“Cheesits?”
“Cheesits. Those orange fuzzy things that crunch. One of their world leaders even looks like one.”
“But how do they communicate?”
"They rub their cheesit bodies together to make non-commital sounds like ‘I cant even’ "
“That’s too weird. Let’s quarantine this place and get the hell out of here.”
“Agreed. At least they cant harm us out here.”
David Blaine teleports behind them both with a pack of cards.Just give it a few million years.
I looked into it, and it’s our whole galaxy that’s maybe in a void. There’s plenty of space inside our galaxy to not give a shit about what’s not here.
When your whole solar system is a backwoods shithole that doesn’t even have a space applebee’s.
But there’s an AI drive-thru.
And Pizza the Hutt
it actually might be the reason we’re around, because in more “populated” areas, unfortunate cosmic events are more frequent too
That’s stellar not galactic scale
Even then not.
Everything is in a giant void, dipshit. It came for free with the expansion of the universe
Not sure of the specifics on the article, but astronomical voids are their own specific thing, not just the vacuum of space.
Oh yeah? Well I have the oldest universe known to man.
