The Size of the Universe

the universe i think is unmeasurable..

[silverflame]

This is the "as far as we can see" universe. And to think that it is still expanding at a rapid pace, what our telescopes can see might disappear before we can get a clearer picture of them.

I agree... we are still very limited.

If the universe is always expanding, naa ba kahay limit sa pag expand nya?

If the universe is always expanding, naa ba kahay limit sa pag expand nya?

A piece of bond paper has a boundary--its edges--it has ends.

A basketball has no boundary--it is a sphere--it is endless.

But you can still grasp a basketball.



Ergo, boundless things can still be grasped/understood. It doesn't follow nga since endless or boundless na, nga it cannot be grasped.

just a perspective of how we humans overrate our significance in this universe....

[gareb]

and yet there are people who believes in god

the earth and even the milky is way is so insignificant if we compare it to the size of the universe. even in our imagination we can't measure the universe.

i do not really have much problems with beliefs. it is when one imposes his own beliefs on another without any good reason, or evidence to support such claims, that it becomes trouble for me.

insignificant indeed. the whole world and every single life on this planet can disappear and the whole universe would stand unaffected by such loss. humanity has a problem with putting our ego in context of the scale of the universe. we want to feel important so that we can have a reason to exist, hence we downplay our insignificance in the context of how big the universe is.

a rough idea of the sheer size of the universe should make us abandon being the "center of creation" as the prime reason for our concept of self-worth and self-importance. human ego's resistance to the simple truth of its insignificance is fear that we will no longer have a reason to exist.

our observation of what kind of universe we exist in, with the aid of science, compels us to reevaluate ourselves and to find other reasons to exist, other than through denial and delusion.

The limit of infinity is infinity It has a value It is used as a number

with a value in set theory and other forms of math as a boundless limit.

You also couldnt grasp the concept of a Tesseract but that doesnt

mean mathematicians Dont understand it as a shape that cannot be

reproduced in 3 Dimensions YET understand its properties.
