Mysterious New "Dark Flow" Discovered

[xXTheOneRavenXx]

<p>I read this article: http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/080923-dark-flows.html and thought maybe someone could shed a little light on how big these objects of "matter" are, and how scientists can "conclude" what's beyond the known universe if no one on earth has ever seen it. </p><p>"<font><font><font face="arial" size="2"><font face="arial">In these regions, space-time might be very different, and likely doesn't contain stars and galaxies (which only formed because of the particular density pattern of mass in our bubble). It could include giant, massive structures much larger than anything in our own observable universe. These structures are what researchers suspect are tugging on the galaxy clusters, causing the dark flow."</font></font></font></font></p>For all we know there could be many "bubbles" (reference from the article" like our own, containing even more matter then ours. Purhaps theres also more beyond the known universe. Whose to say for sure. Also, what sort of "structures" are they talking about? <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>
