Think of it this way... Most people take it as inherently true that grass is green, but in reality it is the process of the receptors in our eyes detecting specific photons reflected off the grass and the way our brain processes that signal which gives us the illusion of its color. To a life-form which processes spacial awareness using echolocation grass would not appear as green, nor any other color in our visual spectrum.

The concept of color and meaning are both inventions of the mind and consciousness, this does not make them any less real. Meaning found in religion has had some of the most profound impacts on society, and people giving meaning to luxury has stimulated economies. Doesn't the fact that these creations of the mind have instigated so many events make them real?

The better question is... Do we place meaning in the right place?

To better understand this concept study than yin-yang, which symbolizes the harmony of the masculine and feminine forces in reality. One force seeks meaning while the other creates, but ultimately both are contained together and inside one another.

If you find yourself asking this question, know that meaning ultimately can only come from within yourself. Like meaning... happiness, love, appreciation and perception are products of the imagination and under your control. Never forget to appreciate all the beauty around you.

No one knows.

However the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle of Quantum Mechanics prohibits there from being nothing. But that something did not necessarily have to become a universe, it just had to be "not nothing".

If you believe in God, it makes sense to believe that the Universe does have a purpose. From the Bahá'í prayers: "I bear witness, O my God, that Thou hast created me to know Thee and to worship Thee. ..." I would say the purpose of the Universe is to have creatures, some of which are spiritual creatures that believe in God. Not because God wants to be flattered, but for our own good.

How galaxies such as the milky way make up the universe?

Why aren't we being pulled into the black hole in the center of the universe?

The black hole at the center of the GALAXY provides the centripetal force that causes the galaxy to rotate. Yeah, everything is slowly spiraling inward, but it's happening very very very slowly. There's no way to orient the universe in a way that you can find the center. We are at the center of our personal observable universe, but that's meaningless.
