Another hairbrained idea:
This is just a region of the universe that started out with a smattering of mass-energy in the early universe. What we're seeing now is the residue around the edges after gravity has merged the denser lumps of mass-energy into galaxies, black holes, stars, planets, etc. Subtracting out the initial mass-energy, but missing certain regions of sparse mass-energy due to relative gravitational isolation. Throw in whatever topological changes in spacetime due to inflation, perhaps, if so affected.

- ianai 5y agoThanks! Dictionary.com at least says hairbrained is just a variation on the spelling.
- batch12 5y agoWhile we're imagining.. maybe it's a swarm of self-replicating AI locusts that consume entire worlds. They're growing, almost exponentially, outward from the poor civilization that created them...
