I always find myself in the realm of not wanting to come up with a total explanation for a phenomenon like the void. It keeps an aura of mystery to the whole thing, especially if you almost want to leave room to wonder if a "zone of darkness" leading to destruction could as easily have been a form of Divine punishment like one of the Old Testament plagues on Egypt. If so, you don't try to explain something like that in the pure "natural" terms.
Keeping a good mystery for things like that is also the kind of thing that helps make Season 1 episodes of "Space 1999" superior to Season 2 since they didn't attempt explanations like that for many of the strange things they encountered in Season 1.
