A huge hole found in the universe.

[Fightspit]

University of Minnesota astronomers have found an enormous hole in the Universe, nearly a billion light-years across, empty of both normal matter such as stars, galaxies and gas, as well as the mysterious, unseen "dark matter." While earlier studies have shown holes, or voids, in the large-scale structure of the Universe, this new discovery dwarfs them all.

Now everyone is behind dark matter and somehow they succeed in linking dark matters into every news, meantime i wonder where the dark energy has gone

Very interesting.

Reminds me of the void from the academy novels...

Mine, the "dark energy" the "dark matter" resemble the flogist theory; even here the energy was negative.

Maybe the devil lives in that hole!

If I understand that article and the photographs correctly, they just show
that a region in space is not reflecting any data for a specific wavelength
in space. Is this correct? In other words, can't there be a lot of SOMETHING
there that's just not visible in the particular wavelength they were using?

Just trying to understand here.

Thanks, Bob
