They believe a parallel universe could have smashed into ours affecting it in a way similar to a multiple vehicle pileup.
That impact was so incredible, according to this research, that it pushed energy out of a huge region of space resulting in the Cold Spot.
“Perhaps the most exciting explanation is that the Cold Spot was caused by a collision between our universe and another bubble universe, believe it or not” said Professon Tom Shanks, an astronomer at Durham University and a co-author of the study.
‘If further, more detailed, analysis proves this to be the case then the Cold Spot might be taken as the first evidence for the multiverse.’
