You're guys overblowing it. The "wall" is simply where interstellar medium composed mostly of ionised hydrogen begins. It fills our whole galaxy. In reality, it's a near-perfect vacuum, with only a few atoms per cubic centimeter. It doesn't affect how we see the rest of space in any appreciable way.

I was unable to read any proof of it as you described having a "leading edge" and "back edge".
And on the other side, in the direction of the Sun's movement through the galaxy, there's a buildup of interstellar matter, including hydrogen.

This shows we do not have a total or complete vacuum as Physicists had claimed.
Does the Earth have a leading edge and a back edge? If so we would feel friction and see a tail from our earth.
Ever notice that 99% of the visible craters on the moon are almost perfectly round? If it has been hit by meteorites over millions of years you think you would see a larger majority of them hitting at an angle but what we see is perfect straight down hits that form almost perfectly round craters. Why is that?

And what is the interstellar matter building up?

You're the one that posted it, why you asking me?

No, I reread everything I wrote I think you copied that from another source.

Is it even a wall? It appears to me that they are describing it as the area where the 'bow shock' of the solar system's movement through the galaxy occurs. More like the heat a capsule generates when reentering the earth's atmosphere, the heat shield on the capsule will be hotter than the top, there is more of a hydrogen build up on the leading edge of where this movement is taking place and I would assume less on the 'back edge' of the solar system.
