It’s just a void. The universe has to have voids and one of them has to be the biggest. What’s the problem? It’s just statistical noise.

There should be at least 2000 galaxies in the void but only 40 has been found.

Apparently, it's perfectly normal:
>There are no apparent inconsistencies between the existence of the Boötes void and the Lambda-CDM model of cosmological evolution.[8] It has been theorized that the Boötes void was formed from the merger of smaller voids, much like the way in which soap bubbles coalesce to form larger bubbles. This would account for the small number of galaxies that populate a roughly tube-shaped region running through the middle of the void.[6]

It's the largest known.

This gives an interesting perspective.
It would be difficult to tell if you yourself are within such a void, because you would just see galaxies all around you.

voids are a bunch of fucking bullshit, its obviously where the fucking aliens are hiding, look, it even looks like a reverse merchant. Literally high tech aliens are warping time and space around themselves to hide "voids", but its probably just a giant black cloud that hides their incredibly advanced society or armada

I wasn't the guy proposing it. Just throwing up some possibilities for why it could be a genuine hypothesis.

I believe we are alone and that stars existing in the sky is evidence of this. The actual reason for why we are alone I don't know and don't even think it's that relevant.

>I believe we are alone and that stars existing in the sky is evidence of this.
I don't buy this as weighty enough. You're still resting on a number of assumptions, like being able to unlock or miniaturize vast sources of power and exotic physics that have yet to discover any evidence toward.
Then you've got to take into account different types of planets. If intelligent life evolved on an entirely aquatic planet, would it manage to get to space? Super Earths would have higher gravity than our Earth, how much more difficult would it be for them to even reach orbit?

I'm not ruling out anything, but I'm sure that there's at least a galaxy full of potential pets out there waiting to be domesticated.
