To answer OP, if I recall correctly it depends on the shape of the universe.
It's either 'flat', spherical or hyperbolic.

Yep. And you can actually measure it by drawing a giant triangle (with earth being one point, and the other two being distant stars) and seeing if all the angles add up to 180 degrees. If it's less than 180 it means the universe is spherical/curved, if it's more it means the universe is hyperbolic, and if it's exactly 180 the universe is flat. Based on the best measurements made so far, it's flat or extremely close to that (there's always going to be a margin of error).

If the measurements are correct and it is flat, then that would mean (according to Einstein) that in terms of spatial volume it's infinite.

Man, if it wasn't so hard to get a job in the field I'd have gone into astronomy. :wow:

This is the kinda mindfukk that will have you in tears on some “what happens when we die shyt”

:mjcry:

Low-key the hardest part about not being brainwashed by religion or the idea of a supreme being that watches u in the sky and rewards u after death is the fact that all the connections and bonds you made with loved ones, family and friends are temporary and you'll most likely never see them again once they pass on.


Believe it or not, even when presented with astronomical evidence to support the idea that there probably is no afterlife that one thing is what prevents someone from letting go of that delusion.


Their love for their deceased mother, brother, daughter, husband or friend is enough for them to reject reality because the hope of seeing them again is more important than the laws of science, facts/evidence and the actual nature of the universe


All the science in the world isn't going to comfort a mother who was told she just lost her entire family in a car accident. Sometimes lies and irrational delusions are necessary to maintain sanity in times like that

So I can empathize with them on that level

Uncertain grounds
If you think about it, nothing is something. The only way there is nothing is for there to be something, if there is no something then there is no nothing. Its a paradox.

I came up with that myself as well. I was actually writing a book on it but got writers block like 25 pages in.

I concluded that logic actually runs everything. It existed before the observable multiverse, which inevitably made the nothingness explode/implode and combust all simultaneously into somethingness. Hence the big bang, or more likely, infinite big bangs. I called it the powerdox

But then I started positing that the logic also probably has to come from somewhere which was leading me into thinking about the possibility of a God or gods. That's when my writing came to a halt

THE ONLY PROBLEM I HAVE WITH THIS IS THAT THE SUN WOULD RUN INTO A GREATER FORCE AT SOME POINT AND LOSE THE BATTLE FOR ATTRACTION OF THE PLANETS. OR AT LEAST SOME OF THE PLANETS COULD LOSE THEIR MOONS.
no because the rest of the objects in the universe are moving along with the sun

It's weird..and I think this is one of the flaws of the human mind....we are automatically geared to believe that there is a beginning and end to everything....

That being said....by our logic someone or something would have had to create the "nothingness"...and someone or something would have had to create the thing that created the nothingness...and it goes on forever
