Cosmic String

Thin loops of ultra dense engery, far narrower than the nucleus of an atom but stretching across vast distances, left over from the Big Bang and acting as gravitational 'seeds' on which the galaxies grew.

A piece of cosmic string just a mile long would weigh as much as the Earth. A cosmic string that stretched right across the universe could be scrunched up into a ball smaller than a single atom, but would weigh as much as a supercluster of galaxies.

Aliens on the TV show Earth Final Conflict. A throw back to before the Taelons and Jaridians diveraged as seperate species. They are humanoid looking but have laser claws that protrude out of their fingers which they stab into people's chests to suck the life force out of them. Atavus' are very evil and highly sexual creatures.

When Taelons are seperated from the commonality they devolve into Atavus.
