Well the universe is a very big place and also very old compared to we
tiny islands of thought. There is much beauty in it, but also chaos.
Do you have a specific question you would like to ask the group on
their opinions of this majesty?

My advice is that if you visit you should dress in layers. Most of it
is very cold, but some of it is really quite warm.

The universe is almost entirely made of empty space. Even matter like
the earth is mostly made empty space and it can be compressed to
almost nothing.

Or perhaps the universe is like a matter/anti-matter fluctuation
and really IS nothing at all.

Well, paging through this thread (I'm using Google Groups, so that's
easy to do), I've figured out why the OP hasn't responded. It took a
little longer than usual for me to figure it out, though.
