If the void exsists then does this mean that normal physics does not apply? EG time/space ? Indeed can time exsist without space?

Sorry... I already tried that one on the boss.
He didn't go for it.
Just tell him that you overslept because you stayed up late.

The 'void' is an absence of measurable matter. The space the void occupies 'exists'.
Note: time is a 'construct' of the human mind.

The void, which is nearly a billion light years across, is empty of both normal matter and dark matter.
The space is there. What I wonder is, could this void have been formed by a sporadic significant expansion of that portion of space-time?

The "void" is just a place where no matter is to be seen. Not a place where no space exists.

If it's what I'm thinking of, it's about 450 mllion light years across, and if it's part of *this* universe, time must be passing, even where there's no matter.

It's empty of space including dark matter. but there is still time there. because time is not matter.
