Great Void In Space Found

I know this is from August but it's in the news again due to an astounding statement from a team of physicists that the void is evidence of a parallel universe poking into our own. Apparently the void is 1000 times larger than would be expected in even the largest cosmic gaps between galactic bodies.

Astronomers have found an enormous void in space that measures nearly a billion light-years across. It is empty of both normal matter - such as galaxies and stars - and the mysterious "dark matter" that cannot be seen directly with telescopes. The "hole" is located in the direction of the Eridanus constellation and has been identified in data from a survey of the sky made at radio wavelengths.
The void is roughly 6-10 billion light-years away and takes a sizeable chunk out of the visible Universe in its direction.
