I SO want to know - WHY? Why is this here? What is it for? Did 'some entity'
make it, and if so - why? And - does someone know something that we
don't / aren't allowed to know?

These things intrigue me greatly as well. At one point (In my youth) I thought I might carry on with school into Theoretical Physics. I got burnt out on school, but still do like to read about these things.
An interesting idea - time does not exist. Or, at one point (if you adhere to the 'Big Bang' theory) - it did not.
d = rt. Simple physics equation that we all know. Which can also be d/r = t. Which (loosely) means - time is a function of distance. And if there is *no* distance (eg. all compressed before 'Big Bang') - then there is NO time. At least, not then. Or, if you could compress distance ~
Interesting stuff, eh? Distance is time. ?
Fellow Geeks may be interested to read -
http://www.amazon.com/Why-Does-World-Exist-Existential/dp/0871403595
That's more of a 'philosophical' look at things. Interesting book, anyway.
Another -
http://www.amazon.com/The-Big-Bang-Never-Happened/dp/067974049X
This has to do with Plasma Physics and is a refutation of the 'Big Bang' theory.
Yeah, heavy stuff. I find all these things interesting though.

I NEED ANSWERS!!!
"There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for, and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened." - Douglas Adams

Is there any phenomena in the nature where we have higher mass but lower weight?
Yes there is. This is known as the Taco Bell Paradox

There is some 'gravity anomaly' in / near Hudson Bay, Canada -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hudson_Bay
Go to the "Geology" section, it discusses it there. And I would guess there's plenty more info on it elsewhere.
Just something I remembered.

When I need a reminder of just how insignificant we and this planet really are, I look to Monty Python's song about the universe. ongue2
