[00:00:00]There's a region of space [music] 330 million light years across that contains almost nothing. It's called the Boötes [music] Void and it should contain about 2,000 galaxies. It has only 60.

[00:00:11]>> [music] >> That's 97% emptier than any other region of comparable size in the [music] observable universe. If our Milky Way were at the center of the Boötes Void, we wouldn't have known other galaxies existed [music] until the 1960s.

[00:00:25]Scientists have no accepted explanation for why this void is so impossibly empty. Some physicists [music] suggest it could be evidence of a type three civilization that consumed all available matter. Others believe [music] it formed from the merging of smaller voids over 10 billion years. The [music] void is expanding faster than the surrounding universe and nobody knows why. If you traveled at the speed of light, it would take 330 million years [music] just to cross it. The Boötes Void is the loneliest place in the known universe and it's getting lonelier.
