?? A strange statement, can you explain what does this mean?

(unless it is a joke on the fact that 99% of the universe is a plasma,
including our solar system)

BTW, it _is_ odd how dense and compact are meteorites when compared
to how porous are their parent bodies, isn't it? (should be a few
PhD theses in answering that question)
