That is really cool, we still have so much more to learn about what is really out there and what is driving all these cosmic forces.

@zleap Thanks for your interest Paul! Yes indeed it's fascinating stuff to study. If you are interested by more posts on results from our cosmicflows research program, you can click on the hashtags #laniakea #dipolerepeller #southpolewall

I downloaded the paper so will try and have a read, not that I may understand much of it, only done basic stuff with the OU Certificate in Contemporary Science, but nice to keep updated on what is going on.
