As for your question, I am definitely no expert on this subject but I believe the current theory/hypothesis is this thing called Dark Energy that is driving the Universe expansion. As for it filling in an empty void, I don't think that's correct, the empty space itself is expanding (at the speed of light) and dragging the physical stuff along with it.
To wet your appetite here is a link from our ABC that can make your brain hurt. But use google to hone in what else you need to know.

Hi Bill
That was the point I was attempting to make, i.e. that the universe is
not expanding into a void, but that it is creating void as it expands, so I think we're both on the same track.
Thanks for the link....lots to think about, there.
