maybe the void is slurping up all energy and matter to prepare for a new big bang.
it is already shown that photons loose energy in the void.
maybe the void is some kind of a "gnab gib" i.e. the counter of the big bang.

How would that even work? "Slurping up all energy and matter to prepare for a new big bang"? Photons aren't "loosing" energy, as you put it; they're simply not gaining energy like they would coming through denser space. And it's not like this void is some huge black hole -- if it were, it would make itself painfully clear.
A Government founded upon justice, and recognizing the equal rights of all men; claiming higher authority for existence, or sanction for its laws, that nature, reason, and the regularly ascertained will of the people; steadily refusing to put its sword and purse in the service of any religious creed or family is a standing offense to most of the Governments of the world, and to some narrow and bigoted people among ourselves.

Is it possible to identify the void as one of the bright spots on this map?

The bright spot (or dark spot in the one on Wikipedia) near the center is the larges and most packed of the cold spots, by far.

Halim Ondore is the fictional Marquis of Bhujerba in Final Fantasy XII. In order to maintain a rather fragile geopolitical balance, he had to publicly declare the deaths of two very important people who were also very not-dead. The rallying cry "Don't listen to Ondore's lies!" has since become an intardnet meme for some inexplicable reason. IOW, you're being accused of lying.
