NASA May Have Detected A Giant Wall At The Edge Of Space (1 Viewer)

I wonder what's beyond the wall? Maybe the door to the holodeck on the Starship Enterprise?

"NASA‘s New Horizons spacecraft has helped scientists study a mysterious phenomenon at the edge of the Solar System, where particles from the Sun and interstellar space interact. This region, about 100 times further from the Sun than Earth, is where uncharged hydrogen atoms from interstellar space meet charged particles from our Sun. The latter extend out from our Sun in a bubble called the heliosphere."

"This distant source could be the signature of a wall of hydrogen, formed near where the interstellar wind encounters the solar wind," the researchers wrote in their paper.

Those sci-fi writers who envisioned spacecraft with outrigger sails may have been on to something.

Wasn't it Gene Roddenberry who outed this true-to-life concept of a space wall (boundary) by having a chain-link fence which stopped the Starship Enterprise from endless exploration in that direction? Funny, he's also the man who thought up "Q".
