光復香港,時代革命
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.I think space got some end somewhere just like in video game you get where you can't go further.
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.
