I'd forgotten about the HSK.  Thanks for reminding me!

I think it's time to contemplate the collisionlessness of space.
Sure, it's created continuously within the solar system but THE
DAMN STUFF JUST SLIPS OUT WITHOUT A TRACE.  Aeons ago we tried giving
the universe a barium swallow to see where the space goes, but we lost
funding early on, and the signal is barely strong enough now for
even differential microwave radiometers to detect.  

Then we tried to isolate space by removing all the obstructing
matter from it.  The preparations went flawlessly but we couldn't 
find our way back to the lab the next morning to take data, and 
that experiment was abandoned.  We plan to repeat the experiment,
this time being sure to leave a trail of test particles so we
can find our way back.  Do you think this will degrade the results?

And thanks to those of you who wrote in, pointing out our errors
in using just a local piece of the universe.  We are now well-educated
in the concept of "fair sample of the universe" and would like
to know where we can rent such a beast at reasonable cost.  Don't
worry about storage--we have the space.
