tunnels between stars

Natural? Or man-made?

(I use the term "man" loosely).

Scientists have discovered tunnels between our solar system and others.


The phrase “running to other constellations” is problematic to anyone who understands astronomy.

The article was clearly not written by a scientist.
 
Hmm. That would make a good premise for a TV show. They could call it Star Turnstile. Or Star Portal. Or Star Door. Or Star Entrance.

Or something like that. Maybe there's Egyptians on the other side of the universe. That would be pretty gnarly.

That is so cool! Thanks for posting!!!

It would be even cooler if we could see something traveling thru the tunnel and how long it takes to get to the other side of it.
 
wonder if they're referred to as wormholes in sci-fi movies?
 
ROFLMFFAO!!!!

Wow. A gamer writing a science article.

I guess Elmo is going to start writing articles for Bio-Science Monthly.
 
From the article: a cosmic tunnel stretching from our solar system out toward the Centaurus constellation.

Would that be "Alpha Centauri"? Like where the Jupiter 2 was headed before it became LOST IN SPACE?

Impact on Global Collaboration Efforts

The discovery of interstellar tunnels and the potential for enhanced exploration of our galaxy could significantly impact global collaboration efforts in several ways:

1. Increased International Partnerships: As the complexity and scale of space exploration grow, nations may find it beneficial to collaborate more closely. The pursuit of interstellar exploration will likely require shared resources, technology, and expertise, fostering partnerships among space agencies and private companies worldwide. This collaborative spirit can lead to more comprehensive missions that leverage the strengths of various countries.

2. Shared Scientific Knowledge: The exploration of these tunnels could yield new scientific insights that are valuable to all of humanity. Collaborative research initiatives can facilitate the sharing of data and findings, enhancing our collective understanding of the universe. This could also lead to joint missions that pool scientific talent and resources, making exploration more efficient and impactful.

3. Economic and Technological Innovation: Global collaboration in space exploration can drive innovation and economic growth. By working together, countries can share the financial burdens of expensive missions and develop new technologies that benefit both space exploration and other sectors. This collaborative approach can stimulate competition and innovation within the space industry, leading to advancements that have far-reaching implications for society.

4. Diplomatic Relations and Soft Power: Engaging in joint space missions can strengthen diplomatic ties between nations. Collaborative efforts in space exploration can serve as a platform for peaceful cooperation, enhancing mutual understanding and goodwill. This can be particularly important in a world where geopolitical tensions exist, as shared goals in space can foster a sense of unity and common purpose.



Buddha's perspectives

The Buddha addressed the nature of the universe but refrained from definitive answers about its origin. He taught that the universe undergoes constant cycles of expansion and dissolution, with no discernible beginning or end, reflecting a cyclic model rather than a linear one[2][4]. In the Aganna Sutta, he described a process of destruction and re-evolution over vast timescales, aligning closely with modern scientific views on cosmic evolution[6]. Ultimately, Buddhism emphasizes that all phenomena arise from causes and conditions, with consciousness playing a crucial role in shaping perceived reality[5][4].

Apparently, it just maps out as a cooler passageway or gap of normal temperature interstellar medium in between the hotter bubbles of matter left over from supernova.
Which could just as easily be an area devoid of matter.

Or is at least just the nominal background interstellar medium. In other words, just more media fluff designed to sell readers on a story. There are no actual "tunnels"
in space between the stars in the Star Wars sci-fi sense that they are trying to sell to their readers.
 
Here's an earlier paper they cite, this seems to be where the term "tunnel" was adopted as the name for these stretches of low density gas - which seems to be all that these "tunnels" are, a descriptive term not a highway we can fly along to get to the stars in a few hours.
