Just wanted to share this image of Infinate Endless Empty Space.

You just have to stare at this image for a while to imagine all the things that might be happeing in the image.

John.

Explanation: Galaxies dot the sky like jewels in the direction of a mass so large it is known simply as the Great Attractor. The galaxies pictured above are part of a cluster of galaxies called ACO 3627 near the center of the Great Attractor. Previously, this cluster of galaxies, also known as the Norma Cluster, was largely unstudied because dust in the disk of our own Galaxy obscured much of its light. The Great Attractor is a diffuse mass concentration fully 250 million light-years away, but so large it pulls our own Milky Way Galaxy and millions of others galaxies towards it. Many of the galaxies in ACO 3627 are slowly heading towards collisions with each other.

According to Einstein, space is endless but not infinite. My brain hurts every time I try to think about that.

I know that analogy, but then what is inside the sphere?

Quoting Einstein again, there is nothing inside, not even empty space. Again, my brain hurts.

John, thanks for the post. It makes me ponder, what is still out there and knowing us humans, we will eventually find out.

An example of the arrogance of humanity assuming our eventual omniscience. Could be another reason why ET avoids the Earth like the plague.

I am talking about curiosity, I don't think we are on the same page.

That's the beauty of the whole theory, there is no inside. Every point is connected to every other point. Don't think of space as a line. Time and space are both elements of the whole.

Well you started that way with pondering. However I was refuting the last part which appeared to be presented as a statement of fact. In scientific terms if inflation is happening faster than the speed of light then it will be physically impossible to know everything that is out there no matter how much time humanity is given.

For the world is hollow and I have touched the sky.

Didn't it used to be flat?
