Untitled Document | Vote Results | | After a week of voting, SPACE.com members have chosen the Number 1 Weirdest Thing in Space. They chose Nothing, which is really something. Or at least it might be. | Space is full of strange and often poorly understood things, from all-consuming black holes to exploding stars, from objects so dense a teaspoonful weighs a billion tons to empty "space" that may not be empty after all. With 2001 promising to be a stellar year for space discovery, SPACE.com asked leading scientists to help us put together a list of the Top 10 Weirdest Things in Space. Then we asked you to vote, and we've ordered the Top 10 based on the results. Some of these objects and phenomena are pretty well understood. Others are complete mysteries. All of them remind us of the strange wonder of the cosmos. 
Agree with the list? No?
