What's the scientific answer to "What's up?"?

Question

I don't want to say "the sky" or anything. I want to REALLY impress people when they ask me that redundant question.

So, does anybody know a scientific answer I can give when somebody asks me this?

Answer 1

-"whats up"

-"a deity, quite possibly, however, it is entirely conceivable that that same deity exists not up, but down.  and if he does exists up, why is he up?  if that deity is said to be all around us, and if he is said to be everywhere, wouldn't that make him both up, and down, and neither up nor down, which would be right here where we are?  and who is to say that we are not up?  or that we are not down?  isn't where we are always relative to something else?  isn't location in and of itself, relative to the speaker?  or is location relative to some higher power, such as a deity?"  

give that schtick, see what someone says.  i guess this is more philosophical than scientific.  

Answer 2

The part of the biosphere more commonly known as the atmosphere. To be more precise, the Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere, and the Exosphere. The atmosphere is the layer of gases surrounding the planet Earth that is retained by the Earth's gravity. It contains roughly (by molar content/volume) 78.08% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen, 0.93% argon, 0.038% carbon dioxide, trace amounts of other gases, and a variable amount (average around 1%) of water vapor. This mixture of gases is commonly known as air. The atmosphere protects life on Earth by absorbing ultraviolet solar radiation and reducing temperature extremes between day and night.

Answer 3

It's really quite simple, 'What's up doc?"

Answer 4

whats not?

Answer 5

Well, a 4.57 billion year old star called the Sun.

Answer 6

Well its relative to what you define a surface. Up from the ground you are standing on is generally twards the sky but up relative to the moon... it depends on where you are on the surface of the moon.

One thing is for sure, its not the american economy.
