I think space got some end somewhere just like in video game you get where you can't go further.
Imagine you're in a garden, and you fire an arrow. It sails through the air in a straight line until it hits the wall. You walk towards where the arrow hits, climb that wall, and see another garden. You fire another arrow. It hits the wall again. You walk towards the impact point again. And you repeat this.

Perhaps after a certain time, the distance between you and the wall is so great that the arrow never reaches the wall. Or perhaps the cycle perpetuates, with you climbing endless walls and firing countless arrows.
In both scenarios, the conclusion is that the universe is unbounded, unending, infinite.

An easier way to picture this would be pressing the up and right (or left, if you are so inclined) arrow keys on your keyboard, forever.

The above scenario hails from De rerum natura (The Nature of Things), a fukking poem so long it was split into six books, by the Roman poet and philosopher Titus Lucretius Carus.

You could also ask what is the smallest unit of space? It’s a relative thing breh, if space is measured by light then space is the length of the universe, 13 billion light years. If space is measured by space then it’s infinite, assuming space keeps expanding. But if space isn’t infinite then what is at the edge of space? More space? Another universe with space?


Your question poses another question, was there nothing before the big bang? The problem is, we know there was "something" as the big bang isn't one point in space that expanded, that diagram or belief is false, the big bang happened everywhere, and all at once. Nothing was compressed and then spit out.

I had an existential crisis about this at like 11 years old wondering if there was a way to get out of "space". Like what exists outside of the blackness and why cant we get there. I came to the realization that we were stuck in a fishbowl of sorts. Whatever surrounds space is so beyond our consciousness we cant perceive it. It made me feel small, like we were fukking ants or something that ultimately meant very little to the universe and everything beyond. fukked my 11 year old head up for like three days :sadcam:
I think most of us have been there.


And I agree with your 11 year old self. We are in a fish bowl. Little Nemo did the equivalent of travelling to a parallel universe, and still had no concept of the Himalayas or Neptune or Mars. It's ok not to know everything, because it's not possible.

I think my own epiphany happened when I saw a special years ago on what bees see. Someone discovered that plant life has ultraviolet markings bees see which we don't. Those markings and patterns are very important to bees and their daily lives.

A bee can't comprehend what we see. We can't comprehend what a bee sees. It's the same world, the same field, and we're ignorant of each other and the field.

There is no dark matter or nothingness in the universe. There's just shyt we are not built to comprehend in our little fishbowl.

Check out the Multiverse Theory.

Each bubble has a different universe in it and there’s infinite realities :wow:

The best part of that photo is that bubbles exist and pop in the blink of an eye. That is us.

The point is that the Big Bang is a fact dumbass. nikkas failing third grade science.

Quick to claim God doesn't exist, but the Big Bang "Theory" is real :mjlol:


Literally no proof that it happened, take CAC information at face value brehs

As a star child, made up of everything the universe is...I refuse to believe I can't comprehend it. If anything I'm destined to understand where I came from, and how it all pans out. I refuse to accept my ignorance of the very womb from which I was birthed.

Never said "God" wasn't real, you're creating a straw man, and you do know what a theory is correct? I think you're confusing hypothesis and concept with theory. Do some research first.

Seriously? or are you trolling? You know its not longer a concept right? its been proven with theories already....I can point you to a video, a discussion on Reddit and you can even Email, Shermer, Tyson, etc...if you need help. I mean, everything that came out "recently" has pretty much maid this a theory...dark, matter, heat expansion, etc.

:mjlol:see what i mean? That's not proof at all, you weren't here when it "supposedly happened " and will most likely never truly know what happened. What you just say is the Epitome of taking something at face value. Its what you were taught in school / college, but that doesn't mean it's true. Like how they don't want people to know Black people were in egypt, Blacks were inventors and discoverers of things that cacs try to say "is a new discovery ".
