All right, but your mom is a close second.
Apparently Quipu is a superstructure containing 200 quadrillion solar masses. From the article: "Superstructures are extremely large structures that contain groups of galaxy clusters and superclusters. They’re so massive they challenge our understanding of how our Universe evolved. Some of them are so massive they break our models of cosmological evolution.
Quipu is the largest structure we’ve ever found in the Universe. It and the other four superstructures the researchers found contain 45 percent of the galaxy clusters, 30 percent of the galaxies, 25 percent of the matter, and occupy a volume fraction of 13 percent."
Yeah, that second paragraph you posted was the best bit of the sock article for me, it’s truly impressive how much reach and understanding one species has, to quantify such things, as wild as the estimates might be, is a huge (and ongoing) achievement.
Getting pretty generous with what we call a “thing” there
We call an atom a thing too.
(And it’s just a bunch of things far apart.)As well as mountain ranges, which would be a good analogy of how this helps us understand the “local relief” (of the observable universe).
Something something… your mom.
You can’t tell due to the time scales but this thing orbits your mom.
Is the white outlined part in the first image and the black part in the purple-yellow image the part of the universe we can’t see because the Milky Way is in the way?
This is fundamentally stupid.
