I was thinking to myself about space and to me, it's so hard to grasp a concept of the size of it. For example, the Earth, the Solar System and the Milky Way all end at particular points. But does the universe? Is it spherical like the Earth and if you kept going, you'd end up back where you started or is it flat and you'd keep going forward. How high is the Universe? How high is Earth? Is it near the bottom or top of the Universe? What's outside the Universe? This one got me. I mean, there is 'stuff' outside the Earth, and the other examples but outside the Universe? Is there another Universe or is that Universe just part of ours? Is there 'nothing'. But how do you imagine nothing? Where did the Big Bang actually 'go off'. At what point in space? Was it near the Earth? What was there in the first place to actually 'bang' and what was beyond that? Nothing? How do you even imagine that!

That's what went through my head last night. Haha!

Space is never ending, always expanding. What I would like to believe happen is, once space stops expanding, would it collapse on itself? Basically space expanses, then collapses, once all sides collapse on itself it creates a BIG BANG recreating everything it just destroyed. /the process would be never ending.... I know it contradicts my 1st sentence but it is my opinion. Which isnt as far-fetched as a random dude with a beard and a sheet on creating perfect planets and such.

Well I watched a documentary on the universe and they was saying that the universe might be a dodecahedron(12 Sided shape) and if you exit one face you come in on the opposite face making the universe seem infinite

I know right, it's so spacious

Pretty scary to think about it, how far away things are.

I can never grasp the concept of "space".
It's beyond me.

I think about this a lot. The size of space, and how we are just a tiny tiny part of it. I also think about if there are life forms living similar to us, somewhere out beyond where we are capable of knowing about.

Space is just a really interesting thing to think about.
