Yep...that's what I call perspective...and we all run around on this grain of sand called Earth getting so upset about little things when there is a whole cosmos out there that's a heap bigger than we are.

Hmmm - I think I've been studying my theology too long...great web link...

It's probably not the right scale but more-or-less we are roughly in the middle, you can seemingly go almost forever greater than us and smaller than us, I think we are pretty well situated in the middle, we get to appreciate both sides

Where is the middle of infinity?
Sorry but I just thought if the Universe is infinite well it goes infinelty out maybe it goes infinetly in???
If the Universe is infinite traveling at a billion times the speed of light for a trillion years will still leave us an infinite distance to go
A show re the study of infinity maths said it sends folk who think about such crazy..so there my secret is out . Hard as that is to comprehend it is even harder to comprehend a Universe floating in a sea of nothing... mmmm not much of a choice is there
In those in out things I wonder what speed the point you are at travells what would be your real time speed.
