Then it's a good thing that most of the universe is not physical anyway. 99.99% of everything we see, touch,taste and smell consists of space between the 'physical' bits we're told. And even the physical bits aren't really solid, there just energy.

In fact science has a phrase - in Vacuo - to refer to a perfect system which is not sunbject to any external force or influence. It is used for mathematical modelling of physical principals because it removes all extraneous variables.
Now if you or I tried to convince others that we regularily visit a world in our imaginations that is perfect, without external influence or extraneous variables we'd be locked up. But if you go to school for way too long and and wear a long white cotton jacket everyday you can actually make a job out of it and get paid well apparently.

Man, I love this universe.
