The Landslide Model: Direct Detection of Void Collapse Past R_crit = 175 Mpc
Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: We present the first observational evidence for a critical radius in cosmic void evolution, termed the Landslide Model. From a sample of 1000 cosmic voids, 998 stable R-type voids remain below 175 Mpc. Two S-type voids exhibit catastrophic collapse exclusively beyond R_crit = 175 Mpc. Zero R-type voids exist past this threshold. This defines a sharp phase transition in void dynamics and identifies a jagged edge in the large-scale structure of the universe. Detection achieved at 2:40 AM HST, August 14, 2026. CHEEEEE-Hooooooo!!!
