War of the Worldviews

"If the Fornax and Virgo Superclusters are pinches in the same largest-observable-scale Birkeland current, there could be more superclusters beyond Fornax and Virgo, but they would be obscured by Fornax and Virgo. Perhaps there would be other Birkeland currents, with pinched superclusters along them, running parallel to the Fornax-Virgo filament, but they would be too far away and too faint for us to see with present instruments.

"We can imagine an infinite progression of such filaments or an arbitrary end with the one we see (in part). The part of the one we see must be part of a circuit, but from whence it comes and to whither it goes we can again only imagine. Somewhere there must be a generator or a coupling with another circuit, which leaves speculation piqued but unconstrained." - Mel Acheson

Heh - just a Groening/Larson-esque hunch. . . ("Here be monstrous speculations," indeed!)

Unfortunately, the eccentric professor failed at his latest attempt to increase the efficiency of his
favorite old electric fan. He did, however, somehow manage to unwittingly power-up an entire alien universe.

Well i go with the infinite progression, that offers the possibility of infinite professors, one of whom might get lucky with the fan, if not with anything else.
