-We cant say for sure..but - our universe is merely an event unfolding amid the infinite void.Looking at our so-called universe in that light..lol,......
I know it is counterintuitive, but I'm afriad that scientists, and especially physicists, spent the 20th century learning that counterintuitive doesn't at all mean wrong.
We can't say for sure.. but - our universe is merely an 'event' unfolding amid the infinite void. Looking at our so-called universe in that light.. lol, doesn't it make you feel... ah, small ?
There can be no limits on infinity. We just can't wrap our minds around that much nothingness.
I think Tennyson nailed it with his 'Vastness':
"What is it all but a trouble of ants in the gleam of a million million of suns?"
The people who ask this question fail to comprehend that, since the universe contains everything we know, and CAN know, it doesn't need anything to expand INTO. It simply EXPANDS!
Into more of the nothing it came from.
