“Cosmic Void: Places the Universe Rarely Visits When we map the universe on its largest scales, something unexpected stands out. Not the brilliance of galaxy clusters, but the vast regions between them. These regions are called cosmic voids. They occupy most of the universe’s volume, yet contain very little matter. In the cosmic web, gravity pulls matter into filaments and nodes, leaving behind enormous expanses where almost nothing gathers. Void, in this sense, is not an exception. It is the dominant condition. According to current cosmological models, cosmic voids formed early in the universe’s history. Tiny density fluctuations after the Big Bang set everything in motion. Regions that were slightly denser than average attracted more matter over time. They grew into the filaments and clusters we observe today. Regions that were slightly less dense lost matter to their surroundings. They became increasingly empty. Voids, then, are not carved out by any force. They are what remains when matter chooses elsewhere. Despite their emptiness, cosmic voids are not truly empty. They still contain vacuum energy, quantum fields, and the cosmic microwave background. Occasionally, a lonely galaxy drifts within them. Their low density makes voids especially valuable to researchers. With fewer gravitational interactions, they offer a cleaner environment to study cosmic expansion and the influence of dark energy. In a sense, voids allow us to observe space itself, rather than the objects embedded within it. What is striking is how much of our understanding depends on absence. We identify filaments and clusters precisely because voids surround them. Without these vast empty regions, the universe might appear uniform, featureless, and far harder to comprehend. The map of the cosmos is drawn as much by what is missing as by what is present. This perspective quietly extends beyond cosmology. Human lives, too, are often interpreted through their brightest points: achievements, milestones, moments of connection. Periods of quiet are labeled as gaps. As delays. As failures to progress. Yet cosmic voids suggest another possibility. Not every empty stretch is a problem to be solved. Some are simply regions where external forces exert less pull, where fewer events accumulate, where change unfolds slowly, or not at all. Just as voids shape the universe without announcing themselves, these quieter intervals can shape a person without spectacle. They define boundaries. They create contrast. They allow structure elsewhere to emerge. A life filled uniformly with events might be just as difficult to understand as a universe with no voids at all. If absence can organize the cosmos on its largest scales, what role might it be playing, quietly and unnoticed, in the structure of our own lives?” Written by 𝕏 account Kekius Maximus

Synchronicity 2026/01/15 I posted about how the current socio-political structure often conflicts with the principles and values of science. Shortly after, I listened to a random interview with a well-known mathematician who articulated the same sentiment.

A headline from 1986. Taken from 𝕏 account Jon Erlichman

Morning Grok Does History show that every great engineer or scientist that creates a disruptive innovative technology that changes the societal power structure is mocked & villainized by the societies communication broadcast protocols (of their respective time)? Short answer with examples, minimal descriptions.

"I saw Optimus 3. Nobody will remember that Tesla ever made a car. It is going to be the most transformative technology product ever made in the history of humanity. I think he's already won." -Jason Calacanis, All-In podcast

IBM Training Manual from 1979.

“You need Science to get a sense of the real romance of life and the great experience of being awake in the cosmos. The fact that we know so little, the humbling nature of that is scary & inspiring. Why is it so beautiful that we know so little? Socrates thought, knowing that you know little is really knowing something. It’s that voice whispering in our heads, ‘you know, you might be wrong’. The beauty of Science aligns with that of Love. A feeling that you always want to go deeper, get closer but you’re never satisfied. You can't get close enough or deep enough. Science is never simply content with its understanding of any aspect of nature. It's always saying, it's always finding that even smaller cosmos beneath.” Inspiring thoughts from Ann Druyan on The Lex Fridman podcast

“What is the role of science in our society? Einstein said when he opened the 1939 New York World's Fair that if science is ever to fulfill its mission the way art has done, its inner meaning must penetrate the consciousness of everyone. In a civilization dependent on high technology and science, one that aspires to be democratic, it's critical that the public, as informed decision makers, understand the values and the methods and the rules of science.” Ann Druyan on The Lex Fridman podcast discussing Carl Sagan, Cosmos, Voyager and The Beauty Of Science

‘We have to think in longer terms. Currently the models applied to the world results in fighting between fractions of civilisation over the distribution of resources, but none of these fractions have a human social organisational structure that thinks in terms of hundred years, let alone a thousand years which are the time scales that Science operates on.’ Thoughts inspired by Ann Druyan on The Lex Fridman Podcast

As a tax paying citizen for the last 16 years, it's heartbreaking to think of all the corruption and waste that's resulted from pure malevolence and incompetence. As a good honest hardworking person, ! dedicate a portion of my time & energy (money) towards uplifting the general public in the form of tax. It destroys the soul, to know that a large bulk of it did not go towards that. That your contribution to society did not help create a better future for generations to come.

I have sleepless nights thinking how everyone’s digital footprint (personal and professional information) are stored in data centers (central points of attack) that are vulnerable to AI cyber attacks, and what malicious actors can do with that data 😔 Many legacy institutions due to ignorance and lack of understanding have not upgraded their infrastructure to deal with what’s coming.

According to Grok4.1 : Less than 10% of the general public know how sophisticated AI tools have become, especially in areas like reasoning, creativity, coding, multimodal understanding, and autonomous task handling.

Great advice living through The Singularity👌

‘It took roughly 30 years for society to widely embrace electricity,one of the most transformative and obviously superior inventions in history. Nuclear power is the cleanest, most energy-dense, and reliable source of electricity we have, yet it has taken civilization over 70 years to truly acknowledge and scale it. Humanity has always been surprisingly slow to adopt even the most game-changing technologies. This pattern runs through our entire history.’ Thoughts from @Michael Saylor on The ‘What Bitcoin Did’ podcast

The Harsh Truth If in reality, to have offspring is a God given right but the social mechanism enabled by the structure of civilization does not allow this right to flourish, then within that structure there are some human beings that are not mentally, physically or spiritually capable of doing justice to raising a human being to benefit the development and evolution of that structure… Maybe that civil structure doesn’t fully align with reality yet…
