Hi, Laymen here and found this interesting site.
Nothingness/eternity.
Is there any more mind boggling a concept to get your head around?.
Space is big and empty, but its still filled with particles and energy. However the universe is finite in this regard as you reach the frontier expansion wave of the BB there is presumably true nothing beyond and that that nothingness goes on indefinitely. But how can something go on forever, even nothing? :/ and then if infact it does not and is cyclical or in some way 'ends' then again you are left with a finite structure or volume, conseqeuntially what is then outside of this?.
Which leads back to nothing and does that nothing exist for ever.
Or say for example there is a limited void after which a neighbouring universe beings much like the void between galaxies. In this case do new universes go on forever etc?, back to square one.
Something ive often considered is with technology could we travel to the edge of the universe, look into the great void beyond and then hurl an asteroid into the void which would then 'move' through the void at a constant velocity for eternity. Although then by nature of existing in the void it would in effect become and extension of the universe as we can only percieve its existence relative to our own and our universe.
In this sense I am limited by my own perceptions. The very act of trying to perceive absolute nothingness automaticaly invalidates it by giving it definition and substance. So how do you understand anything beyond the universe.
Whew, blows, my, mind.
