  We hear the physicists (and dude I love physics) but why do they use the word "nothing"? Is it really no-thing or something they can't properly describe yet? Also, if I remember correctly there's a young astro-physicist from NY (can't remember his name, but he's in String theory) who is exploring new ideas of what the universe is made of, including that "nothing".
