Great 'cosmic nothingness' found

Another thing I just can't get my head around...
"If you were to travel at the speed of light, it would take you several years to get to the nearest stars in our own Milky Way galaxy; but if you were to go to this hole and enter one side, you'd have to travel for a billion years before you would get to the other side."

EXPLANATORY NOTE:

Before any more of you dopey leftbots jump all over me for being a "Jesus Freak", I should probably explain, for perhaps the tenth time... I'm actually an atheist.

That doesn't mean I'm immune to wonder.
"Explanation separates us from astonishment, which is the only gateway to the incomprehensible."
