Remember, this is MASSIVE and surrounds the entire galaxy. For me, it just goes to show that these things we are finding out have a commonality, and that is plasma.

Imagine, 99.99% of the universe is plasma. We live on a world that is very rare in relation to what most of the universe is. And yet, it is all just more complex ways of how the aether coalesces through movement. (And the earth was void and empty, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the spirit of God moved over the waters.)

Makes me wonder about the attributes and where consciousness arises from to exist within the coalesced aether. The bridge that our minds are, minds that exist in the non-material, with the ability to play in the material through our bodies.

It doesn't go into that much detail. It is said that this is not very dense. My thoughts are that just like the earth is contained within a bubble (magnetosphere), and the solar system is contained within a 'bubble' (Heliosphere), and the Heliosphere is contained within a bubble (interstellar cloud), the galaxy is inside a bubble as it is inside this hot gas.

So, it may trickle in past the galaxies magnetic fields, just like cosmic rays trickle in locally. But, for the most part, much of it is 'kept out'.

Re: Milky Way is Surrounded by Halo of Hot Gas
NASA's Chandra Shows Milky Way is Surrounded by Halo of Hot Gas

Astronomers have used NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory to find evidence our Milky Way Galaxy is embedded in an enormous halo of hot gas that extends for hundreds of thousands of light years. The estimated mass of the halo is comparable to the mass of all the stars in the galaxy.

If the size and mass of this gas halo is confirmed, it also could be an explanation for what is known as the "missing baryon" problem for the galaxy...

... Chandra observed eight bright X-ray sources located far beyond the galaxy at distances of hundreds of millions of light-years. The data revealed X-rays from these distant sources are absorbed selectively by oxygen ions in the vicinity of the galaxy.

The scientists determined the temperature of the absorbing halo is between 1 million and 2.5 million kelvins, or a few hundred times hotter than the surface of the sun...

...This new research provides evidence the hot gas halo enveloping the Milky Way is much more massive than the warm gas halo...

..."It may extend for a few hundred thousand light-years around the Milky Way or it may extend farther into the surrounding local group of galaxies. Either way, its mass appears to be very large."...

...Baryons are particles, such as protons and neutrons, which make up more than 99.9 percent of the mass of atoms found in the cosmos. Measurements of extremely distant gas halos and galaxies indicate the baryonic matter present when the universe was only a few billion years old represented about one-sixth the mass and density of the existing unobservable, or dark, matter.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24144693


Of course, couldn't say if it was true or not. My personal opinion is that true cold, dark space is not even space. It is potential yet to manifest through motion. I don't have time to get into it deeply, but I can point to a couple threads, though it may be a little heavy reading.

Thread: WE are Not the ASHES of stars, WE are the Stability of Aether...of God...
I just had a 'vision', or whatever the hell I'm supposed to call them...I don't know how to properly explain it...initial creation, that is energy/mass, comes from the 'dormant' electro/magnetic field (aether)...it initially comes from the space between the systems...there needs to be 'pure' vacuum of a certain distance between particles...this distance is required for stability of that 'particles' manifestation...hah! If there is the slightest of pulse through the aether - when the distance between 'particles' is far enough - then the pulse can remain pure...it can remain in the luxadrome pattern long enough for it to induce manifestation of 'portions' of the dormant electro/magnetic field (aether) it has 'affected' (cause and effect are manifesting at closer and closer convergence}...outside that distance, the 'pulse' doesn't resonate through the medium correctly, or travel 'far' enough...inside that distance the electromagnetic signature disrupts the luxadrome pattern making it collapse back out of existence...the correct distance of vacuum between 'particles' allows that slight charge to travel and 'resonate' at the correct frequency, therefor not disrupting the luxadrome pattern...instead, it helps create and support it...

Ok this really sounds like a bad Sci-Fi Movie.

Working Title: The AGN Creatures of WHIM

Story Line: WHIM is a National Acrobatic Science Administration Researching Company that has experimented with Gaseous Research of interstellar space for an eon. To look for the WHIM, the researchers examined X-ray observations of a rapidly growing supermassive black hole known as an active galactic nucleus, or AGN. This AGN, which is about two billion light years away, generates immense amounts of X-ray light as it pulls matter inwards.

Main Characters:
Sculptor Wall played by Micheal Moore
This "wall", which is a large diffuse structure stretching across tens of millions of light years, contains thousands of galaxies and potentially a significant gaseous reservoir of the WHIM, if the theoretical simulations are correct. The WHIM in the wall should absorb some of the X-rays from the AGN as they make their journey across intergalactic space.
XMM-Newton played by Woody Allen
Confirmed detection by first officer Newton of the WHIM have been made difficult because of its extremely low density. Using observations and simulations, scientists calculate the WHIM has a density equivalent to only 6 protons per cubic meter.
Fang played by Husband of the late Phyllis Diller
"Evidence for the WHIM has even been much harder to find than evidence for dark matter, which is invisible and can only be detected indirectly," said Fang.
Dark Matter played by itself
