We know that it is more then what we perceive. Factually.
That doesn't mean you get to insert whatever fairy tale most appeals to you.

as far as i know they don't exist here at the moment but the myth of the unicorn it exists so possibly their was some unicorn type creature at some time in the past.
But would you live your life operating on the assumption that [ninja] unicorns exist based on the mere possibility that they do?

I'm quite certain that the "nothing" I know is more voluminous then the "nothing" you know.what is your alternative?
That the universe is 13.798±0.037 billion years old, and will die of heat death. As indicated by all the best evidence available.
Evidence, as opposed to, you know, "just an idea i have in my head."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory#Scientific_theories wrote:In science, the term "theory" refers to "a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on a body of facts that have been repeatedly confirmed through observation and experiment."[14][15] Theories must also meet further requirements, such as the ability to make falsifiable predictions with consistent accuracy across a broad area of scientific inquiry, and production of strong evidence in favor of the theory from multiple independent sources.
The strength of a scientific theory is related to the diversity of phenomena it can explain, which is measured by its ability to make falsifiable predictions with respect to those phenomena. Theories are improved (or replaced by better theories) as more evidence is gathered, so that accuracy in prediction improves over time; this increased accuracy corresponds to an increase in scientific knowledge. Scientists use theories as a foundation to gain further scientific knowledge, as well as to accomplish goals such as inventing technology or curing disease.

Your proof must be independently verifiable and still take the facts and data previously recorded into account.
Good luck.
Also: The Hubble Constant
its not that important to me, im just a humble poster trying to share my alternative views in a subject called what do i think about god and the world.
