Speak for yourself I shall have much better things to do in the Universe than worrying about where to keep all my stuff. Indeed, I'm looking forward to being entirely without mass and weightless free at last of all the heavy burdens of gravity....
pity this busy monster, manunkind,
not. Progress is a comfortable disease:
your victim (death and life safely beyond)
plays with the bigness of his littleness
- electrons deify one razorblade
into a mountainrange; lenses extend
unwish through curving wherewhen till unwish
returns on its unself.
A world of made
is not a world of born pity poor flesh
and trees, poor stars and stones, but never this
fine specimen of hypermagical
ultraomnipotence. We doctors know
a hopeless case if listen: there's a hell
of a good universe next door; let's go
-- e. e. cummings
I was very glad to learn a few seconds ago that scientists have begun to think of our universe in terms of fruit. However, I'm not too happy with the actual 'first fruits' of this research trend. Why does the universe have to be the size of a not too cheery grapefruit just after Big Bang? Such fiddly fruit they always need sugar and take ages to open up. Or was that God's metaphor for the human species?
Some people say the universe is curved. This means that if you travel far enough, you will eventually catch up with yourself.

The universe is normally thought of as »all there is«, but this universe is just ONE path down a multi-branched »multiverse«. The future is open. Which universe will you inhabit?
