The Void

Astronomers believe they have spotted a hole in the universe six to ten billion light years away and almost one billion light years across, describing the void as an “unmistakable imprint of another universe beyond the edge of our own." *

Though admittedly it is not so much a void as a region with less matter than expected if you buy the whole dark matter/energy business. And you need to be enamored with string theory for the dramatics about an imprint of universe beyond the edge of our own. Or just read H.P. Lovecraft who strikes me as generally more convincing.

* Italics added as an editorial flourish.
