Seriously though, the Universe must have a gravity of its own, surely?? Otherwise, what keeps it together?

This is perhaps one of the best threads ever.. But we'll never be sure....

One day we will all just float away. Fat people will be the last to lift off.

You are suggesting that we all should stack on a couple of hundred Kilos?
