Thought this was very cool new info and haven't seen it posted. The universe is similar to a spider web or neuron network of gas, energized in some way. This could aid in interstellar travel. I'll add a pic in a minute.
For the first time, astronomers were able to see a string of hot gas known as a filament that is thought to be part of the mysterious underlying structure that dictates the layout of all the stars and galaxies in our universe.

This is a very long stretch, but would it be possible to travel along, or utilise these connections to enable us to reach other galaxies I wonder?
We show that the recently proposed bulk dual of an entangled pair of a quark and an antiquark corresponds to the Lorentzian continuation of the tunneling instanton describing Schwinger pair creation in the dual field theory. This observation supports and further explains the claim by Jensen and Karch that the bulk dual of an Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen pair is a string with a wormhole on its world sheet. We suggest that this constitutes a holographically dual realization of the creation of a Wheeler wormhole. © 2013 American Physical Society
great points here...would like to add my two cents...the human brain works by making millions of connections between ideas, thoughts, experiences to understand and develop larger concepts and patterns and their relation to one another...it'd all about interconnection between energy to maintain the perfect equilibrium...look at the universe we see it at every level...take atoms,the building blocks of life, that depend on the perfect balance of energy between protons and electrons...now let's go macro....u said that you think that the uuniverse sucks energy from cosmic events and how it overrides solitary star systems...think connection...a super Nova has the connotation of death but in reality it's this opposite because when it explore it spreads it's energy and matter all throughout the universe and provides the material for the birth of stars... look at a galaxy and how there is a black hole at the center of EVERY galaxy which devours all e energy...Well if we look at supernovas as recyclers instead of death then what if a black hole is the same and isn't the death of energy but the recyclimg of it (maybe between dimensions)...it's all about connections and the continuous transfer of energy that makes up a universal constant balance of energy...sucking up energy and overriding star systems would mean that it is not connected...it doesn't override star systems it uses it to transfer energy throughout the cosmos in a beautiful continious dance from which a universe of perfect balance arises that fuels the need for complete and absolute interconnectedness between everything

This topic has my mind swimming. The way this is illustrated shows a connected energy throughout the universe. Is it possible that constant cosmic events are what keep everything going? I.E. does the universe keep itself going by "sucking" energy from these events? Could this "sucking" of energy actually cause the super nova events and such, as the universal force overcomes solitary star systems? I think this discovery will open the door for a quantum leap of understanding of how the universe operates.edit on 20-1-2014 by sligtlyskeptical because: (no reason given)
Ive often thought the reason God never tried to help us was for a couple of reasons. 1, we are hear to learn, unaided, undisturbed, and with free choice 2. We are only a spark of the Divine Presents, or some might say, plan.

Yep, I've always thought we were in the brain of God. Talk about collective consciousness. There ya have it!

Reminds me of the neuron network of the brain.

this is the plasma that conducts the electric circuit that powers stars and connects galaxies.

It looks more like to me that the further we look, the harder we look out in space, the more we are actually just looking in.
Maybe thats my web?

God, is all those little sparks reunited, but powerless individually. God, helps those, who help themselves.

Why are people talking about God or the brain in this thread?
By the way, given that there are millions or even billions of light years separating galactic clusters, anything travelling through those plasma filaments would be incredibly slow, in cosmic terms. Heck, light takes tens of thousands of years just to cross one large galaxy.
It's just an extremely rarefied plasma, so tenuous that to all intents and purposes it's a vacuum.

What drives this current? Is there a gigantic mega-powerful electricity generator somewhere in the universe?edit on 23-1-2014 by wildespace because: (no reason given)

Iam wondering If the Bjirkland currents are part of this network......(they are electric currents that run between all the stars and galaxies.....)
With the advent of fully three-dimensional, fully electromagnetic, particle-in-cell simulations, investigations of Birkeland currents and magnetic-field-aligned electric fields have become possible in plasmas not accessible to in situ measurement, i.e. in plasmas having the dimensions of galaxies or systems of galaxies. The necessity for a three-dimensional electromagnetic approach derives from the fact that the evolution of magnetized plasmas involves complex geometries, intense self-fields, nonlinearities, and explicit time-dependence. A comparison of the synchrotron radiation properties of simulated currents to those of extragalactic sources provides observational evidence for galactic-dimensional Birkeland currents.
