One does have to wonder though, what could cause such a void in the universe?
And how come we see it so well?
I like to think that’s where the Big Bang happened and its what the tail end of the shockwave looks like.
They said in the article that there was just an absence of everything - no noise from radiation, no heat from stars or other sources, and no dark matter.
It could also mean Galactus is coming.
I may be wrong, but…
A “cold” region in the Cosmic Microwave Background means that, right after the big bang, there was more matter in the spot that seems cold today. Because back then, every other radiation “weaker” than microwave couldn’t pass through the matter due to its very high density, and even microwave didn’t pass easily. The areas that let more radiation pass through are the ones that look “hot” today. Therefore, it is even more surprising that there is nothing there.
But who knows, maybe whatever stuff was there was sucked up to other areas in the beggining of the universe’s expansion. Since everything is mostly getting distant from everything else, the hole just grew together with the universe and that’s why it’s so big now.
Cthulhu’s about to wake up. The stars are just about right …
Looks like those astronomers stumbled upon the site where an artificial Black Hole Generator was detonated.

I was thinking on a similar note that or it might be something like the center of the universe depending on whether or not the universe as we know it is nothing more than a ripple of debris left over from the Big Bang.
Maybe that’s the Cleft of Dimension where Exdeath was trying to gain the power of the void… or maybe not.
As I understand it, there is not center of the universe. It’s been a while since it was explained to me, so I’ve probably forgotten the actually explanation, but it’s something like the universe is expanding everywhere at the same time, not growing out from a single point. If you wanted to be New Agey, you could say that the center of the universe is everywhere at once. That would be unnecessary and kind of confusing, though, so you would deserve a slap.
Actually it’s not new agey. It was first said by Empedocles (who nowadays is a street) and was also used by Giordano Bruno, by Pascal for nature, by Nietzsche et al.* Go back to your physics now 
*Borges often refers to the concept in his essays.
I was gonna do the Buster Machine 3 and King of All Cosmos jokes, but Lex already pulled Galactus so…
Still, that’s a pretty interesting discovery.
There was a HOLE here. It’s gone now.
What I love about this place is that I can always get stuff that was so much fun to me years ago referenced in topics about unrelated stuff. It’s warming to the heart. Special points to Ziegfried for the Final Fantasy V reference.
As for the center of the universe, I think the explanation in this link is good enough:
:kissy:
It looks like the thread’s title is very a propos:
the Giant Void=Center of the Universe=Universe’s butt hole.
Okay, what’s that from? I’ve heard that before …
Silent Hill 2, I think. That or a Hitchhiker’s Guide book.
Everything that has an ass, has a mouth. I don’t see a universal mouth ¬¬
