Ah, well, I never knew about that part coming from the musical. I used to think on the "No thing, etc." while contemplating my navel.**BG** To carry it further: "Nothing comes from nothing and all other things, too!"

To paraphrase Einstein (I hope I have this right): Spacetime guides matter and matter forms spacetime; every atom influences the whole spacetime and is influenced by the whole spacetime.

So, no thing can be put outside the universe, because the universe is one.
