Scientific paper

Ostriker, Thompson, and Witten (OTW, 1986) have shown that the low-frequency electromagnetic radiation from superconducting closed loops can sweep away the plasma surrounding them, and they have identified the resulting bubbles of radiation with the voids observed in the large-scale distribution of galaxies. Some observational consequences of the OTW model are discussed. It is shown that the model predicts observable fluxes of gamma rays and ultrahigh energy cosmic rays from long strings stretching across the visible universe.
