The Intergalactic Highway | Cosmic Web Filaments | How Matter and Energy Cross the Voids Between Gal

The universe is connected by a hidden superstructure known as the intergalactic highway.

We often picture galaxies as isolated islands in a dark sea of nothing, but they are actually linked by a colossal cosmic web. This network of filaments acts as a transportation system, allowing matter and energy to flow across the immense voids of space. In this video, we explore exactly how this works.
• 🌌 The Cosmic Scaffolding: How dark matter builds the invisible roads.
• 🔥 The Intergalactic Sea: Discovering the million-degree plasma flowing between galaxies.
• 💥 Galactic Powerhouses: How supermassive black holes and exploding stars fuel the network.
• 🗺️ Mapping the Invisible: The incredible tech used to chart these unseen pathways.

How do you think this interconnected reality changes our place in the cosmos?
