       But the amount of cold stuff in the universe is vastly more than the amount of hot stuff, so the average temperature of the universe must be close to the 3°K background radiation. There's a risk then, that as soon as you make this object you'll freeze to death.

       How about putting the vacuum on the outside of the silvered glass wall, and the universe on the inside?
