AND SOMEWHERE INSIDE THE TUBE...:

'Test tube universe' hints at unifying theory (Roger Highfield, 26/12/2007, Daily Telegraph)

A "universe in a test tube" that could be used to assess theories of everything has been created by physicists.

The test tube, the size of a little finger, has been cooled to a fraction of a degree above the lowest possible temperature, absolute zero, which is just over 273 degrees below the freezing point of water.

Inside the tube an isotope of helium (called helium three) forms a "superfluid", an ordered liquid where all the atoms are in the same state according to the theory that rules the subatomic domain, called quantum theory.
...tiny little Dawkins's and Hitchens's stamp their tiny little feet and shriek that it isn't Created.
