To me, the universe is the most mind-boggling topic there is. How big is it? There's untold trillions of galaxies out there, each one untold trillions of lightyears away. The perimeter of just the earth is insanely collasel in itself. What if there's more than one universe? How old is it? What was there before there was anything? The thought of "nothing" by come into your head is a pitch black blank space where nothing happens. But, technically that would be considered "something". I can't put what "nothing" means into words, (Think for yourself; it hurts your brain.) Discuss this universe ,that is everything, here.

This image was taken by Hubble on 3rd September, 2003 (http://imgsrc.hubblesite.org/hu/db/2005/28/images/b/formats/full_jpg.jpg). Each one of those dots is a galaxy. Each galaxy may have up to one trillion (1,000,000,000,000,000) stars. Each star may have it's own solar system.

Wrap your head around that one kiddies.
