That image, just to be clear, is a picture of the known universe at the largest scale available. Those squiggly cobweb things? That's a webbing constructed of MASSIVE GALAXY CLUSTERS. Now there's a hole in it, of such size that you should be TERRIFIED the moment you contemplate it. Anyway, scientists don't get what's causing it, and they are exited about that, standard response and all that.
My thoughts? Random baseless conjecture I'll admit, but I'm pretty sure one of the Old Ones sneezed.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
