Panel 4: Girl: "And gamma ray bursts?" Rabbi: "Yes." Panel 5: Rabbi: "And made most of the universe lifeless vacuum." "Yes." Panel 6: The girl stands silent, frowning, looking troubled. Panel 7: She asks, "Why is there something and not nothing, and the something reeallly seems like it's trying to kill us?" Panel 8: The rabbi, looking uneasy and rubbing his face, answers, "Well, that one's a little harder."
