Cosmic voids are vast spaces between filaments (the largest-scale structures in the Universe), which contain very few or no galaxies. Voids typically have a diameter of 10 to 100 megaparsecs; particularly large voids, defined by the absence of rich superclusters, are sometimes called supervoids. They have less than one-tenth of the average density of matter abundance that is considered typical for the observable Universe. Cosmic voids as a topic of study in astrophysics began in the mid-1970s when redshift surveys became more popular and led two separate teams of astrophysicists in 1978 to identifying superclusters and voids in the distribution of galaxies and Abell clusters in a large region of space. The new redshift surveys revolutionized the field of astronomy by adding depth to the two-dimensional maps of cosmological structure, which were often densely packed and overlapping, allowing for the first three-dimensional mapping of the Universe. In the redshift surveys, the depth was calculated from the individual redshifts of the galaxies due to the expansion of the Universe according to Hubble's law.

Why there is void in the space?

Your universe has been expanding with accelerated speed. So probably it is surrounded by 4 pre big bang masses, placed far away from your universe. Due to the pull from these pre big bang masses you have 4 voids in your universe. At present you have visualized only one primary void, probably. The biggest one. Others are expected to be visualised soon by James Web space telescope. So you have 4 such primary voids and 4 areas of maximum densities in your universe. By the same mechanism these relatively dense masses will produce smaller voids and areas of smaller dense masses. This phenomena has repeated few times to give you smaller voids and smaller dense masses as you know them.


Why the shape of biggest void in the space of your universe is roughly triangular?

Your universe is expanding at the accelerated speed. So probably it is surrounded by 4 pre big bang masses. They have been pulling the masses of your universe to wards them. Due to this pull you have got the very big voids in your universe. Such very big voids should be called as primary void. You have probably 4 such great voids in your universe. You have visualised probably only one such primary void. You are expected to visualize total 4 such very big voids in near future. It is roughly triangular in shape. Unless you look at the same from right angle, you may see somewhat different shape. It is roughly triangular and has equal arms. That means it is produced by the equal gravitational pull from outside. So it is 'postulated' that the pull has come from pre big bang masses, placed at 'equal' distance and of 'equal' mass.

Voids in space are simply vast volumes with little or no matter in them. They could be any shape


What are the implications of a hollow universe on our understanding of the cosmos?

A hollow universe would challenge our current understanding of the cosmos by suggesting that there may be empty spaces or voids within the universe. This could impact our theories about the structure and composition of the universe, as well as our understanding of how matter and energy are distributed throughout space. It would require us to reconsider our models of the universe and how it functions.


How many sqare voids and triangular voids can be formed by eight identical spherical balls?

None. The voids will not be square or triangular.

Diagram of the universe?

The universe is a vast and complex system that consists of stars, planets, galaxies, dark matter, and dark energy. It is organized into a cosmic web structure, with galaxies clustered along filaments separated by voids. At the largest scales, the universe appears homogeneous and isotropic, following the principles of cosmological models such as the Big Bang theory.
