The Rational Response Squad is a group of atheist activists who impact society by changing the way we view god belief. This site is a haven for those who are pushing back against the norm, and a place for believers of gods to have their beliefs exposed as false should they want to try their hand at confronting us.

Holy crap, that's cool!
Hm. Could it just be some sort of gravitational interaction between Dark Matter and the clusters in question?

I sure don't like the wording in that article. Get too many theists reading about things outside the "observable universe" and we're going to have a whole new stalemate on our hands.
For any theists reading -- "outside the observable universe" to scientists is NOT the same as "outside the observable universe" to theists. Light can only travel so fast, and there are simply parts of the universe that are too far from us to ever be observed. It's simple, ok?

I was thinking the same things while I read that, Hambydammit. 'Wow, so neat! Can't wait for further research. Wait... dammit! The theists are going to take this all the wrong way.'
No doubt some theist will come to us with this article in tow and shrill, 'Now look, there's stuff outside the universe! Ha! Explain that! And look, it interacts with the universe! Ha!'
I can't wait!

Well, I think the key word is 'observable'. It's not outside the universe at all (as the label would suggest) like a theist believes their deity to be - it's just outside the part we can see (as you two point out).
Err... I wonder if 'visible universe' would've been a better term? Clearly it's not 'unobservable'; we're certainly observing it through it's effects.

Well, if I understand it right, there are parts of the "visible" universe (i.e. within 13.6 billion light years or so of earth) that are invisible to us even with the best telescopes. So, it's kind of contradictory.
By the way, when the theists start trotting this article out, here's the simple answer:
"Right, dipshit. The thing is... that stuff outside of the observable universe interacted with parts of the observable universe. That's how we know it exists. EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE. Now, please provide empirical evidence for God interacting with the universe."

...And then they'll demonstrate their ability to turn every argument into a circle-jerk by just pointing back to this article and saying, "There it is! Right there! Who do you think is doing that!"

Well, if they're gonna be irrational about it, why can't I be?
"Anyone can repress a woman, but you need 'dictated' scriptures to feel you're really right in repressing her. In the same way, homophobes thrive everywhere. But you must feel you've got scripture on your side to come up with the tedious 'Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve' style arguments instead of just recognising that some people are different." - Douglas Murray
Now look, there's stuff outside the universe! Ha! Explain that! And look, it interacts with the universe! Ha!
Bullshit! MAGIC EXISTS!
It is just like the line in "Dumb and Dumber" "So your saying there's a chance"
NO!
Just like in the past we know that species of insects exist, just because we didn't know about prior insects that we have now discoverd, does not mean that Superman created a octolegipussupervenoumousvelvetporkupine.
All this means is that nature, as it can be understood currently, does not reveal anything beyond what we can currently observe. Much like nature was not super natural back when we could only observe the sun but at the same time thought the world was flat.
Whatever we dont know now, seems to lead to nature when we do uncover more. Whatever theists think tends to get it's ass kicked by reality.
