Bahhh, giant holes this, spiral universes that... just wait, in another couple of weeks or sooner, they'll say they were mistaken, or replace this with some completely contradictory evidence.
I don't see why it's so hard to envision a universe that has all its ends folded on itself seamlessly; in fact it's rather satisfying for me.

They're not wrong on 'holes'.
In the broadest view you can have of the universe, it is nothing but filaments and massive pockets of nothingness.
One might say 'nah, they're just filled with black matter', but they don't; or, at least, not in a significant amount.
Most matter in the universe is contained in the filaments, whether it be normal or black.

Could you explain what you mean by "filament"? I'm not familiar with the term in this context. Do you mean patterns of galaxies, or something more esoteric?
Also, if I remember correctly from reading about this "hole" in a different article than the one posted, this hole is vastly larger than is expected from any of the current models of the early universe, so if they're not wrong about the hole, then they're wrong about something else.

A group of galaxies close to each other form a cluster.
And a group of clusters form either filaments or superclusters.
Imagine diffused smoke against a black wall. Not smoke puffed out of someone's lips, but the dance of thin threads from burning incense.
That's sort of how the universe looks.
Filaments are the thin wisps of smoke and superclusters are where several lines of smoke merge.

Sounds like a really pissed off bitch getting her revenge by sucking the universe... >.< Don't you think if stuff is being sucked in, everything else is being sucked in too? Hehehe if so... some ladys vagigi must be really irritated.

Maybe the filaments and superclusters end up looking like a giant DNA strand, lol.

I've always held an interest in astronomy, but I honestly don't know that much about it. Still, it's very interesting.

Betcha it's a Mirror universe, where Bush is the greatest president who ever lived, we caught Bin Laden, and Firefly never got cancelled.

Not quite. It's actually the universe created by the pure magick of imagination. I suppose that it could be such as what you said on some planet, but there's much more to it. The world's that so many of us have created in our minds exists there as different planets.
Either that, or it's the universe where the gods reside.

All right, if it's not dark matter, how does it exist?
By that I mean, how does it not collapse under its own lack matter?
This is intriguing...mreh. I'm with those who think it's the gateway to an alternate dimension, or better yet, seeing as it is devoid of all dimensions including time, it's a gateway to the PAST. Yeah.
Hurrah Cosmology!

It's Marvin the Martian's ultimate revenge against Bugs Bunny when the Earth and the entire Universe gets sucked in one day.

Bah... you all knew it would come, sooner or later.... the universe own little Emo, a big black, depressing hole that sucks up everything.

LMAO sternn I love you. Oh and to the people arguing about traveling faster than the speed of light, keep this in mind. Assuming you found out it was possible to push matter faster than the speed of light, you would still need some form of propulsion in theory. (unless your light travel negates this). If this is so, you will not only need to build something capable of moving your vehicle of travel this speed, but you'll need to make it so this vehicle can support the amount of force necessary to reach such speeds without completely disintegrating.

...and after we do get a vehicle to travel that fast, and with humans onboard, then it's time to "battle" time dilution or we'd never get any folks back again in the same year, or decade or even millenia.
