Our Place in the Spongy Universe
Physicist James Trefil once described our universe as
“The Spongy Universe,” comparing large-scale
cosmic structures to the structure of a sponge. The NASA
Genesis education module Cosmic Chemistry: Cosmogony
features the “Spongy Universe” activity in
which pairs of students observe a household sponge, making
inferences about how the structures and holes in the sponge
were made and, by extension, how the structures and voids
in the universe may have formed (Bogner and McCormick
2000).
