      That’s a good question – I’d really like to know the answer. I hope one of the other scientists knows. Or maybe you could go and look it up and come back and tell me?

      The universe is made up of everything that exists, or will ever exist. The most common element in the universe in hydrogen. The study of the chemical composition of the universe is called astrochemistry – and it’s something that you could be researching if you decide to follow a career in science!

      Thats a tough questions, and you’d be better off asking a physicist. As far as I’m aware, the universe is made of space-time, which can be stretched and curved, and it can be described with equations, but as to what is actually IS, I haven’t got a clue.
