Ahh, but the thing is, the universe isn't a container for stuff. It IS the stuff. You've gone from asking whether or not the universe is a thing to straight out telling us it isn't, while acknowledging the things that supposedly exist within it. But those things ARE the universe. A universe is a set of objects that interact in some way, be it electromagnetically, gravitationally, or by the strong or weak nuclear forces. The Universe is the set of all things that interact with us.

Either that, or cognito ergo sum.
