Scientists suggest Earth resides in a vast cosmic void based on Big Bang echoes
Scientists propose that our galaxy may reside in a massive under-dense region, or 'void,' which could explain the discrepancy in measurements of the universe's expansion rate known as the Hubble tension. This void, potentially spanning a billion light-years, might cause local galaxies to appear to recede faster, aligning local observations with cosmic microwave background data. While this hypothesis is supported by some galaxy surveys and baryon acoustic oscillation data, it remains controversial and requires further investigation with upcoming measurements to confirm or refute the idea.
