The cell wall contains the contents of the cell... the heliosphere serves no such function.
And what sort of waste does the solar system dispose of?
You seem to have an inaccurate image of the universe and its mass distribution. You're treating it like a gas, which works to keep equilibrium by dissipating dense areas and filling thin areas. The universe doesn't work that way. To say that deleting the solar system would cause surrounding matter to flow in to fill the void means we should also expect the contents of a living room to shift to fill the void left by taking the TV out.
Now, what, exactly, do you mean by gravity and the direct relationship with mass?

The heliosphere contains the electrically charged solar winds from the interstellar medium.
Light, gravity, maybe other stuff as well that can breach the heliosphere.
The interstellar medium contains a lot of gas. If this living room was under water then liquid would also act the same way. If our living room was underground then you would have to carve out a very large room before enough potential is reached for it to cave in on you, being in seismic unstable place and weak rock helps with reaching the potential quicker.
The strength of the gravity that is on the surface of a planet is in direct relation to the mass of the planet.

Okay...but what does this "waste" have to do with anything?

Perhaps we should pick this up after a decent sleep
On a side note, if you see the nearby galaxy spreading out if the solar system was removed then I see the solar system imploding if the universe was removed. The books on gravity have changed a bit over the years and it is a tough on with lots of theories around.
Interestingly enough, though, the majority of class M stars are red dwarfs. So, this immediately puts a single question in my mind: could Mirach be a red dwarf gravitationally microscoped to look like a red giant?

cool find
but im left confused and dumbfounded
if the galaxies are capable of magnifying images,
they are also able to collect and focus light,
if you have ever played with a hand held magnifying glass in the sun,
you will now the power of the focused sun,
now imagine the galaxy as a giant hand held magnifyer,
if enough light goes through the lens there should be a focal point for the light and
it would be "hot"
