also this article implies the actual cosmo constant has changed also which confuses some of the answers here 

73.8 ± 1.1 km/s/Mpc according to this new measurement.

How much does that increase  Lambda (cosmo-constant) looks like it was by 5

You have completely changed the subject from the fine structure constant to, now, the Hubble constant (which, oddly, is not a constant).

The measured value of the Hubble constant has changed quite a lot since the initial value as more accurate ways of measuring it are found. This is common for many scientific measurements. Then about 20 years ago it was found that the value changes over time because the rate of expansion is accelerating.

This has nothing to do the topic of this thread (a galaxy that stopped making new stars), nothing to do with the fine structure constant (which also has nothing to do with that galaxy), nothing to do with vacuum decay, etc. And the link you provided says nothing about this, anyway.

You are just throwing irrelevant random facts into the thread for no apparent purpose.

then this article below talks about the universe colder a very low levels which what was said above will not happen anytime soon 

I'm not sure what that sentence means but:

1. This is another completely unrelated topic

2. It has been known for a long time that there are (small) variations in the temperature of the cosmic microwave background radiation. These are tiny, millionths of a degree, but they can tell us a lot about the early universe.

3. No one said anything about this "above" because it is the first time the CMB has been mentioned. 

4. This has got nothing to do with something happening "anytime soon" because we are looking at things that happened 13.8 billion years ago.

Sorry some answer spoke about Lambda constants. And the article I present shows it has changed to possibly a new vacuum state?

also the cmb part falls into the replies I got  about if universe falls under a certain temp then vacuum collapse is possible. 

also what we see billions of years ago is reaching us now so if for example the temp has changed and we see it that means it is hitting us now.

Your link doesn't go to an article about the Hubble constant or lambda. So you might want to post the correct link.

But there is no evidence it has changed. If the universe had changed to a new (false) vacuum state then the universe would not exist and we would not be having the conversation.

All that is "hitting us" now is microwave radiation from 13.8 billion years ago.

(You have had all of this explained to you multiple times on another forum, but it seems you haven't learned anything.)

and the second article about the supervoid in the other article article that works show that the kev of the universe is colder than thought so this adds to the collapse theory.

OK. This article is about how different ways of measuring the Hubble constant (the current rate of expansion) give slightly different results. This is intriguing and may tell us that our models of the universe are not quite right. But it certainly doesn't imply any recent or sudden changes.

It doesn't say any such thing. It says there is a small area of the sky where the radiation is fractionally cooler than elsewhere. It then discusses several possible xplanations.

None of this has anything to do with vacuum decay (or collapse, whatever that means).

You are just making stuff up that has no connection with the contents of the articles. I'm not sure you are even reading them. Are you just posting random links?

No i am reading them and that is my understanding that’s why I am here hoping to learn to understand 

 

also the numbers do not say fractionally but big differences in the temp to the point of under 0

àlso still confused on the things reaching us now but not reaching us for billions of years 

 

also I may not fully understand but understand enough

It says: "the so-called “CMB cold spot” is about 70 μK colder than the average CMB temperature"

That is 70 millionths of a degree colder. Or 0.00007 degrees colder.

Light (microwaves) is reaching us now. It has taken 13.8 billion years to reach us.

Maybe this will help: https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Bang

Yes but there is a part that says 150 uk colder and also I read the wiki before 

also this supervoid is below 0 which  can cause collapse which may be on its way here now?

from what I have been told anything reaching us now regardless is reaching us now does not matter what it is.

So that is 150 millionths of a degree colder. Or 0.00015 degrees colder.

No it doesn't. It says nothing like that. Stop making things up.

Yes so the coldness in universe change is what we are in now here because it has reached us no?

The supervoid is now at under 0 kev 

and also the article does not mention collapse but by the temp we are at a collapse state

The universe has cooled from about 4000 degrees to 2.7 degrees over the last 13.8 billion years. That is still continuing. There are no new or sudden changes.

14 minutes ago, Bmpbmp1975 said:

It is not. It is a few millionths of a degree below 2.73 degrees. 

You are suggesting it is below absolute zero, which is impossible. And, obviously, it doesn't say that in the article.

Nonsense.

When you claim something it may be helpful to put the piece of text which  you interpret, because it seems that that is a major issue here.
So if you say 'the supervoid is now at under 0 kev', can you please show where you found it (so the reference) and the specific text?

The same thing for these collapse statements, please provide the piece of text which makes you think these things, then people can help you in understanding those specific pieces better and help.

And you may "understand" that but you certainly didn't read it in that article.

So please explain to me why it’s not possible and what this cold void means, it’s the only one that exits in any part of the universe

While we can get close, getting to absolute zero (0K) is not possible, doubly-so when talking about below zero. It's a bit like asking what's north of the northpole.

I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you

So we have this supervoid that’s the only one that exists right now expanding bigger and bigger and is cooling colder and colder and it is extremely close to zero and your telling me it’s not possible that this affects us in our lifetime. I am curious to understand your comment

Sorry meant under 0 kev in universe cooling 

That sentence doesn't make any sense.

The unit of temperature they are are using is K (kelvin) not kev

0 K is absolute zero.

It is impossible to have a temperature of absolute zero or 0K, therefore it is impossible for anything to be under 0K.

It is not the only one. The article talks about other voids.

Almost everything you say here is incorrect. Stop making stuff up.

1. A supervoid is one possible explanation for the cold spot, but that is not certain.

2. It is not the only one that exists. For example, the article says "Mackenzie’s team found three voids out to a distance of three billion light-years, and a possible fourth void beyond that"

3. There is nothing in the article that says the void is getting bigger and bigger.

4. There is nothing in the article that says it is cooling (any more than the rest of the universe)

5. It is, for all practical purposes, no closer to absolute zero than the rest of the universe. (If the rest of the universe is 2.7K then the void is 2.69993K. Pretty much the same.)

6. One of the possible voids that may have been seen is three billion light years away. So nothing is going to affect us in our lifetime. Even if there were something that could affect us. Which there isn't.
