>New study just released in nature about these giant ass balls that push and pull our local supercluster.

Is this significant? CNN has it on their front page despite all the political drama going on.

Am I right to assume these balls have mass?
Are they clumps of dark matter?
Are they more than empty space?

Are we going to die? .......

Yes, but this is not the thing that will kill us. We are much more likely to die due to international conflict than natural phenomena.
