The astrophysicist took a deep breath and presented everyone present with a shocking conclusion capable of overturning humanity's view of the universe:
"According to the data, the Milky Way, the Local Group, and even the vastly larger Laniakea Supercluster are all located within this enormous, spherical, low-density void!"
"Preliminary calculations put the diameter of this void at an astonishing two billion light-years!"
The professors present were stunned by the figure for a moment. Then they could not help questioning it:
"Two billion light-years? Are you serious?"
The old academician happened to be the scholar's mentor. His eyes widened and his beard bristled. "You little brat, at your age, you're still spouting off like some young hotshot...! Where's your process? Where's your data? I swear, people saying astrophysicists love to talk bullshit is all because of people like you..."
But the scholar held his head high and refused to yield an inch.
"Let me finish. Our project team has worked for years. Building on the speculation of our predecessors, we used recent photonic Psychic Power technology to refine redshift analysis before reaching this conclusion. I am quite confident in it!"
"Across this two-billion-light-year span, the distribution density of galaxies and matter is more than twenty percent lower than the theoretical cosmic average! It's like being born in a vast, utterly desolate wilderness in the middle of a bustling cosmic metropolis!"
"Wait, now that I think about it, could Dark Matter and Dark Energy possibly..."
The entire observatory control center fell into deathly silence as everyone pondered the matter.
The astronomers exchanged glances, intense curiosity and a profound sense of loneliness intertwining in their chests.
The KBC Void. Dark Matter. Dark Energy.
In Blue Star's former physics community, all of these had merely been controversial hypotheses!
But as the academic world developed
