The Bootes Voids In The Scientific World

The Universe is expanding. We really do not know why it is growing size because the research we are trying to do is harder to find than looking for different planets in the Universe. In some places of the Universe, there are just giant voids that can stretch for miles between planets and most of the Universe is made up of these voids. 60% of the Universe is made up of voids. In the scientific world, these voids are called boonies and an example of a well-known boonies would be the Bootes Void, a vastly large spherical region that spreads nearly 250 million light years. In places like the Bootes Void, scientists are able to find resources of dark energy and matter. Dark energy is an unknown form of energy that is said to be the reason why

Basically, when scientists have tried looking for this, they did not have any luck with using forms of light to see it. There are also two forms of dark matter. One is called cold dark matter which deals with weakly interacting particles and the other form is called hot dark matter or high-energy randomly moving particles that was created soon after the Big Bang. In some places of the Universe, there is “cosmic webs” that hold giant pockets of dark matter (which is 80% of the Universe’s matter) that are being “clumped here and there, gravitationally drawing regular matter towards it” (Hadhazy). While the Universe was expanding, these pockets of matter grew into galaxy clusters, leaving the voids surrounding it to grow

The Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope was launched in 2008 and observed “a signal of gamma-rays at the very center of the galaxy that was bright than expected” (Moskowitz). In the center of almost every galaxy is a black hole that is slowly sucking up the remaining space dust that is surrounding it. However, in this case, dark matter is being pushed together to create a form of light that is releasing energy. In some cases, scientists believe that under the right conditions, dark matter can be formed but at the same time, destroy each other in the making. There are some theories that state that dark matter is destroyed when combined with anti-dark matter to create these bright centers in the middle of some of the galaxies. Often times these bright centers can be mistaken as black holes (while most of the time, these bright centers are black
