How's about a billion light years of allegedly empty space

Astronomers have come to know that the universe appears to have a foamlike consistency. That is, galaxies are arranged as if they lie along giant bubbles, with large voids in between. Radio astronomers have now found the largest void yet, measuring nearly a billion light-years across toward the constellation Eridanus.

Sounds like a place I should visit. Our universe is mindboggling. Thanks for sharing.

It won't matter that parking is great, you may be surrounded by empty space, but that universally well known @$$wipe will still find you, park right next to you, and bang your vehicle when they open the door/hatch! Yeah, you know who I'm talking about...the universe is filled with them. And you thought you could have some space to yourself. Call me a pessimist. :-P

So our universe could be one tiny bubble of the foam in someone's couch cushion somewhere. Hope they don't fart.

Or you get there only to find that someone else has gotten there first and parked diagonally taking up 2 spaces.
