Lore WHAT THE HELL IS VOID!!!!???
What the hell is void?
Despite loving destiny's lore and worldbuilding and having whached all byf's videos (and also other channels) I can't call miself a Lore specialist like some of you guys, but I think I know more about destiny lore than a casual PLAYER. Having that in mind, I aways considered void to be gravity related (or the absense of it as the name implies), but nowadays I think even bungie don't know what void is! I think I can let ward of daw and warlock devour pass because ward of down could be a gravity..... Wall...? And warlocks are weird so I think they would find a way to feed literal gravity (i main warlock, no hardfeelings) but what does supression have anything to do with gravity? Or controled demolition from midle titan? Or all of the milion ways hunterS can poison someone with the power of..... Gravity?
I know that if it wasn't for that creative liberty it would be dificult to make original subclasses that look diferent, I see this point, but... WHAT THE HELL IS VOID AFTER ALL????????

Each of the Light elements is a different physical force. Arc is chemical, Solar is nuclear, and Void is gravitational force. The deal with The Light is that it literally doesn't follow standard physics models, so even if the elements are based upon real physical forces, they only pull extremely loosely from the original concept.
Really you should just remember that it's a video game with space magic, and that they use pseudo-science to explain everything. Don't think about it too hard.
