    This basically means that intergalactic space travel will never be possible or anything would be instantly vaporized?: https://www.sciencedaily.com/rel…

    In previous work, researchers at The Ohio State University found that parts of the Milky Way's halo -- the hazy fog of dust, gas and dark matter that surrounds some galaxies -- was at least 10 times hotter than anyone had known before.

    This new research found that the extreme temperatures the researchers found in the original analysis -- up to 10 million degrees Kelvin, or about 18 million degrees Fahrenheit -- could possibly be found in the entire halo, said Smita Mathur, professor of astronomy at Ohio State.
