Thanks for posting that link. Truly mind-blowing results and it's cool to see it visualized.

It’s amazing that what looks like dense clusters at this scale are stars still separated by, um, astronomically large distances. It’s also amazing to see this overall clustering operating at those scales. The sparse areas are unfathomably empty.

It reminds me of patterns in soil erosion, with gravity concentrating larger and larger flows of water and correspondingly deeper stream cuts. Also self-similarity at vastly different scales.

Cool, my first take is fractal dust with some sort of bubble superstructure.

No .WEBM?

;p

Also the solution to the Fermi Paradox.

the latter. the map looks different further away from the center of the circle because further away = earlier time. if they attempted to compensate for how things far away have changed since the light was emitted, the map would look uniform.

Because of relativity, there is no difference.

It's a piece of the universe, anyway.

Even more insane that eventually, even if life still exists, you won't be able to see ANYTHING outside your local galaxy, because all the clusters will have merged together, and there will be so much space in between that even light can't get between the galaxies anymore.
