I study things that are very small. The universe is an infinity of the large and small. Think of atoms, they are mostly empty space. There aren't that many atoms in the whole universe relative to it's size, which means the universe is pretty much made of nothing.
I always hear that the universe is constantly expanding due to some unfathomable amount of energy. What happens when that energy is expended? There will be no force to expand any further, but there may be no force to hold it together either. All that expansion would collapse on itself, resulting in one infinitely dense molecule just like before the Big Bang.
