@NickSeam, your incorrect. It is a ball of gas, liquids, and solids that is orbiting a ball of gas that is orbiting around other balls of gas which in turn is orbiting other balls of gas orbiting balls of glass hurtling through space. Don't want anyone to get the wrong idea here.
It's actually all just a holographic simulation. The possibility remains that the results of this simulation do, in fact, matter. We, on the other hand, are probably just random junk data.
wut.
