Well in the beginning there's this flying spaghetti monster....

I have been touched by His Noodly Appendage...

If I could find a pastafarian bike jersey, I'd buy it.

42 quail pies. That's all I know that I'm supposed to say.

Universe = a huge place with a newly discovered "Hole"

empty

The universe is filled with a lot of nothing.

cold

It's big.

increasing entropy

It wasn't, then it was, and it won't be again.
Repeat as needed

One verse.

It's all in your head.

Love. That's right love.

The space loves the planets, the stars love the space, humans love the earth, earth loves the humans, we love pie, pie loves us, we love eachother, we make babies and our babies ask stupid questions about the universe, and so is the circle of life.

I've seen the edge of the Universe.

The Universe.

big... isn't it?

Its an elaborate plot to control human beings. Its the Matrix I tell you.

A theoretical snowflake existing in 196,833 dimensional space.

Hmmm.

There's my 17 y/o daughter...and I think she thinks the world's revolve around her...does that qualify?

damn sui beat me to it

"Young earth creationists (http://www.conservapedia.com/Young_earth_creationism) hold that the earth (http://www.conservapedia.com/Earth) and universe are approximately 6,000 years old. Young earth creationist scientists state that the following is true: there are multiple lines of evidence pointing to a young earth and universe; the old earth and universe paradigm (http://www.conservapedia.com/Paradigm) has numerous anomalies (http://www.conservapedia.com/Anomaly) and uses invalid dating methods, and there are multiple citations in the secular science literature that corroborate the implausibility of the old earth and universe paradigm (for details see: young earth creationism (http://www.conservapedia.com/Young_earth_creationism)).
While there are differences in regard to the age of the universe, there is not necessarily a difference in viewpoint in regard to its size. For most Young earth creationists, the universe is as large as God wanted to make it. If that's calculated at 156 billion light years, then so be it."

420 I understand, but 42?

Its kinda disappointing that we may never get outside of our galaxy. It would require beyond light speed travel, which we all know isn't possbile at this point or may never be.

It will have to do, till something better comes along.

To think all the $$ spent with almost zero space exploration progress since the 60's/early 70's.

All the uncertainties ??? well, deep thought had a crash ...

I was taught the Invisible Pink Unicorn created the universe.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invisible_Pink_Unicorn

it is what it is.... whatever you make of it

All you need to know about the universe:

All experience is preceded by mind,
Led by mind,
Made by mind.
Speak or act with a corrupted mind,
And suffering follows
As the wagon wheel follows the hoof of the ox.

All experience is preceded by mind,
Led by mind,
Made by mind.
Speak or act with a peaceful mind,
And happiness follows
Like a never-departing shadow.

P.S. - Oh, and the net electrical charge and mass of the universe is 0.0000...

PPS - And further, its turtles all the way down. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turtles_all_the_way_down)

Well, I'll be John Brown....

It goes up, then down, then up, then down, repeatedly. There are unconfirmed rumors that scientists have found flat areas.
