I'm saying the article is absolute clickbait trash and the assumption of a void's effects would be miniscule compared to the effects of dark energy. ... presuming something like MOND is still incorrect, which is closer to the truth as far as we have evidence for. (MOND models do not match observation)
The density of the void we're in is not like some mystical lack of particles for light-milenia. It's just less dense to the point where the assumed distribution the Cosmological Principal would make most probable doesn't match observation exactly. It's been known about for years. Note I said most probable, not possible. It doesn't even break the MANY assumptions made that create the cosmological principle.
