Not this Universe, the other one...

Constellation Eridanus

Lately scientists have been looking at some pretty strange stuff out in the cosmos. First there was the scare that observing dark energy may hasten the decay of the universe. Now astronomers are saying that a large hole at the edge of the universe could be the beginning of a whole new universe-a so called exo-universe. From iTwire:

The hole is estimated to be almost one billion light-years across, where one light-year is about 9.5 trillion kilometers (5.9 trillion miles) and is located within the constellation Eridanus.

The Mersini-Houghton team states that the hole is another universe at the edge of our own universe. Such an explanation, if true, would be the first experimental evidence of such an exo-universe, or a universe outside of our own universe.

If this is true, then stare at dark energy all you want, we found a spare universe.
