A cosmic string?

This is interesting that the black holes are all aligned within cosmic strings seeming to keep the whole thing together.
I wonder if the void that is not comprised of normal matter is possibly a region of space where matter somehow finds a way from black holes into the region where there is the void.
Relatively speaking seeing as how we don't really know what takes place at the center of a black hole both unknowns could create a parallel between the other one.
I was reading about radiation in a Funk and Wagnels and found something interesting. When thorium goes through many changes due to alpha and beta exposure eventually thorium becomes lead.
What if the hole in our Universe is a process where a type of radiation unknown to us came into contact with other radition that then caused a sudden release of alpha and beta radiation that in turn then caused other particles to form such as the particles that created our sun? With the constant bombarding of particles within a sun by alpha and beta particles new fuel would be constantly be created.
But what type of radiation started the process in our sun from nothing?
Could the hole in our Universe be some type of exotic radiation that would only be found in the center of a black hole?
I also read articles from The Daily Beak.

I'll take your word for it.
Using the statement "What If" allows ideas to be discussed. What If also means that the unknown phenom could be something else other than what we discussed. Because if we knew what caused the hole then we wouldn't need to a use a "what if" statement.
What do you think the hole is sojourner?
Sometimes stringing random words together into sentences does in fact create coherence.
Take for example curium-242. I was reading about curium in a Funk and Wagnalls under Nuclear Energy. C242 undergoes fission spontaneously and is an important heat source, providing pockets of power for longs periods of time.
If C242 undergoes fission spontaneously then the equal and opposite side of this would be elements undergoing....not certain what to call it, but it would be the opposite of providing pockets of energy for long periods of time spontaneously.
Another question is this. If normal particles come to close to the hole in the Universe what happens to them? Are they stripped of all of their properties of mass or do they spontaneously cease to exist? Well nothing really ceases to exist it is just converted to something else.
Found the answer to one of the questions - Photons of the CMB gain a small amount of energy when they pass through normal regions of space with matter, the researchers explained. But when the CMB passes through a void, the photons lose energy, making the CMB from that part of the sky appear cooler.
Photons loses energy passing through the void. But do they lose their forward velocity? If photons passing through the void lose energy and possibly reduce in velocity once the photons exit the void do they increase in energy and accelerate back to light speed again? If so then what interaction causes the photon to lose its velocity and then increase in velocity?
Yes, but that isn't science. Not even remotely. All you're doing is throwing crap at the wall and hoping something sticks.
An infinite number of monkeys typing for an infinite amount of time will eventually crank out the complete works of William Shakespeare — but it gets awfully tiresome to read all the nonsense they write in the meantime.
The word you're looking for is "nonsense".
The "hole" is just a place where we don't see any particles. If normal particles go there, then the answer is: we would see particles there. This is not a big leap.
If you dump dirt in a hole, it isn't stripped of all its properties or cease to exist. All that happens is it fills the hole.
You are ascribing some sort of unearthly or exotic qualities to this "hole" when nothing of the kind has been suggested.
Easy: it doesn't. Photons travel at the speed of light, period. They don't slow down and speed up.
Okay, now you have to admit that you're actually Ken M in disguise.
Let's just say that if you go to the space.com articles he posts sometimes and read through the comments: there's a poster who writes the exact same comments there as D does here. Right down to the same grammatical errors. But it isn't Ken.
Funk and Wagnall's - H index
The very first entry is Heat.
Heat, in physics, transfer of energy from one part of a substance to another, or from one body to another by a virtue in temperature. Heat is energy, it always flows down from a substance at a higher temperature to the substance at a lower temperature, raising the temperature of the latter and lower the temperature of the former substance, provided the volume of the bodies remain constant. Heat does not flow from a lower to a higher temperature unless another form of energy transfer, work, is also present.
Gravitation is something that gives rise to a force. Like most forces, it can be put to work, just like in dams. But gravitation is not energy: it's an interaction between physical bodies with mass.
What the hole could be is a region in space where the temperature flows from a higher temperature to a lower temperature. Seeing as how the area around the hole would actually be warmer because of the heat being generated by numerous solar bodies compared to the absence of solar bodies in the region that would have otherwise been detected.
I would also go to lengths to say that there is not any gravity in this region of space where the hole resides at because gravity is a force or an interaction between two physical bodies with mass.
All bodies with mass generate some degree of heat because of the transfer of energy taking place between the body and surrounding bodies.
Maybe the region is actually time void where everything stops instantly because if there is no gravity then how would time flow? Gravity is an indication of forces at work. Heat the is the detectable source of gravity. If there is no heat then there is no gravity. If there is no gravity then are not any bodies with mass at work.
Or possibly bodies with a different type of mass that we are unfamiliar with.
Time actually slows down as the strength of the gravitational field increases, so time should flow faster in an area of low gravitational potential.

Though, to be puckish ... If there's no matter and no energy in the place, then, how can time be said to pass at all? If there's nothing to change, how is that different from timelessness?
So...it's a cold spot? Hmmm....well.....that could be interesting.
I admire your imagination, but some of your leaps in logic are traps and not fully sensical.
I think I get where you are trying to go though.
There is a void in space.
That void has no sign of mass.
With no mass there is no gravity or heat.
Thus heat flows in from around it - toward it.
Since there is nothing there, then nothing is changing.
If nothing is changing, maybe there is no time.
In order for what you are talking about to be true, you need a true isolated system. An isolated system is a system not under the influence of any external force or energy. The only isolated system known to be possible in our universe is the Universe itself. Everything inside our universe is influence by something external. You can have closed systems, but not truly isolated ones.
Still, if it is large enough (this void), you may have near 0K space. Space gets funny near 0K and there are implications for time.
Photons traverse the void.
I guess when we understand what time is we'll know the answer to your question.
