Strange but maybe true: holes in the side of the universe

A possible explanation of the “dark flow” that has been detected in parts of the universe, which is causing some galaxy clusters to move at speeds of up to a thousand kilometers per second, is that a force of some sort – in a parallel universe – is tugging at them

A potentially more harmonious explanation has been proposed by Laura Mersini-Houghton and Richard Holman, suggesting that another universe interfered with ours during the big bang, causing both the dark flow and also two huge “holes,” or voids, in the universe. One of these holes may have already been observed, lending credence to this explanation.
