Structure implies 'built'.

It’s probably God’s “workshop”...

More importantly, it implies matter.

Not really. “Structure” implies some sort of organization different than its surroundings. Leave some salt water to evaporate, and you’ll see plenty of “structure” that wasn’t “built” (unless you want to move your explanation seriously into the supernatural realm).

I was curious how they came to determine a “void” is an “object” (or even worse - a “structure”).

The author doesn’t own a dictionary, it would seem.

I think that the definition of "structure" would include being different than the surrounding regions of the universe. struc·ture ˈstrək(t)SHər/ noun 1. the arrangement of and relations between the parts or elements of something complex. "flint is extremely hard, like diamond, which has a similar structure" synonyms: construction, form, formation, shape, composition, anatomy, makeup, constitution;

I thought the EXACT same thing when I first read this today. On the "up" side maybe it's a distant view of Heaven. On the "down" side maybe it's where all liberals get their viewpoints and "mind" set.
