Astronomers, on Thursday, found that a region on the universe, billions of light years away is devoid of galaxies, stars, and even dark matter.
Using CMB[1] , a type of electromagnetic radiation that fills the entire universe, astronomers found a big gaping "cold spot", devoid of CMB, in the constellation Eridanus, southwest of Orion.

Proof that black holes exist? Maybe there is some alien race with a superweapon that somehow owned that part of the universe? :o The largest black hole ever to exist?

If its billions of light years away the image that they saw is extremly old, maybe its changed by now.

It brings up the following question:
Was it always empty, or did something huge blow up to push everything out? |

Scientists are currently almost certain blackholes exist, and the centers of most, if not all, galaxies are probably supermassive blackholes. The one in the center of our galaxy is about the size of the solar system. Anyways, a blackhole is ruled out because they emit radiation from the matter falling into them (X-rays I believe). This is something entirely different. |
