Pretty tough to comprehend the size of space. And that's just the parts we're aware of. Do you think space is infinite?

"Do you think this yard is infinite" said one ant to his friend, " there's grass as far as I can see, and I think it goes on forever"

So, you're saying there's a gigantic privacy fence around the boundaries of the universe?

I can't comprehend "infinite space".

It can't be infinite if it's expanding. Is expansions still a generally accepted belief?

- not being a dick even if it sounds that way a bit

Then what is beyond the expansion at this moment in time?

Off the top of my head, and I could be wrong, but space is not expanding. The stuff in space is expanding. The fact that the stuff in space that's expanding has a place to expand to says that space was already there to begin with.

Again, couldn't back that up with anything. Just me thinking.

I think space is infinite but mass occupying said space is not. Eventually you get to a boundary where you have nothing left to judge your movement by.

Is the word infinite really applicable? If it's moe vast than we can comprehend, should we just label it infinite? If farther than a million human lifetimes do we even know how to comprehend what is truly infinite and what isn't?

We are just micro organisms on the cosmic windshield anyways, right?

Why are all of the planets, stars, galaxies round?
So one would assume that the universe is also round. Gravity and rotation is the reason that they are all round. So if the universe is round and
rotating what is it rotating around?

Who said where mass could be in space and where it couldn't be?

What if we're rotating around something?

How would a blind man know the earth was rotating?

This is a new theory that is addressed in the article posted below. As the article points out, though, it is a theory that can't be tested.

Universe may not be expanding
