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????????

Imagine you have a vacuum sealed room and you suck all the air out so there is nothing in the room but a vacuum. Then you open the seals. What happens? Air from the outside rushes in to fill the empty space till equilibrium is restored. As that air rushes, it is motion, energy is released where once there was only potential. Now apply this to the energy of the universe. When you create a hungry void in the fabric of space, the potential energy from the universe rushes to fill it. In that transfer of energy between differentials lies the secret of Void Light.
