It's glooble and glorp.
No, what it is, is a universe like nothing you can imagine. Forget 3-d space, that's for beginner universes. Gravity? Don't need it. This is what you're supposed to get out of "2 + 2 = 5", that this universe is weird. It doesn't run on the same stuff as ours. And that is impossible to comprehend with our conditioned minds, so the best I could do was to give an impossible sum and hypothesize it to be true.
