That thinking is so 20th Century.

I didn't say it's wrong, I said those are the problems.

There are several large voids in visible space. Some are nearly a billion light years in diameter. They are completely empty of visible material.

Um, what part of my reply didn't you understand? There's no such thing as completely empty space, the space you're talking about is in fact less empty than the artificial vacuum’s that we've created here on earth, for instance the LHC is emptier than empty space, but no space is ever completely empty.

Technically you may be right about no area of outer space being completely empty since there are strings and quantum foam and other particles being created there. But for purposes of our discussion we can state that those giant voids are empty because we can't detect any discernible material in them. Eventually hydrogen will form and then it will become detectable. But who knows when that will happen?
