Any idea?
I think about these things a lot, also I try to relate my length to the size of the universe, and then I realize how small I am.
Not even mentioning extraterrestrial life.
What's your theory?

You compare your 'length' to the size of the universe. If that is what you use as a comparison, I guess you where never ashamed to get a shower after sports.

i think maybe the universe is a part of a quark in an unimaginably larger universe. or maybe it's infinite so there would be nothing to be outside it.

heh... my tallnes I meant.
Yeah I realize its something I never will know probably. But one thing I do know. This planet is very small. If I take my car and speed to the southeast for maybe 5 or 6 days, I'm in iraq. If I go the other way I'm near the northpole.

probably. or maybe it is just infinite. or like a klein bottle or möbius strip, without borders (could it be possible? in 4 dimensions maybe... or... no.... in an infinity of dimensions!!)

im taking an astronomy class at school this semester and my prof. was telling us how within the universe are hundreds of billions of galaxies, each containing hundreds of billions of stars, each (potentially) with their own solar systems. wow. the sheer thought just blew my mind!
and also how we might even be part of a series of multiverse's with in some infinte threshold (is that an oxymoron?)

who knows?
Maybe this is just all a dream of a sleeping dog. And when the dog wakes up, we have never existed, and will only exist in the dog's mind.
I had dreams sometimes, when I woke up I was upset because it was 'just a dream'.
They were like movies, very cool and while dreaming it seemed reality.

wierd stuff, mind boggling!
another thing i thought was real neat is the "look back" idea - because the stars we see at night are so far away, they (could) take millions of years for their light to reach us...so the stars we see are stars from millions of years ago! how will we ever get anywhere if even the speed of light takes us millions of years to get us where we're going?

We're looking at the past indeed. When I'm outside and I look up, its just so empty and cold. Even when I'm in the middel of the city and I get a glimpse of the stars. I feel alone. It's just the distance.

i dont really have one myself, but my father's one is that the universe is the inside of a chair :/
he often said that.. like the world is one cell of the chair
ok thats quite stupid, but thats my father :D see im still there, and ready to roll a joint btw i just saw an episode of suzanne, where all the old guys (the grandpa friends i assume) were all smoking pot while playing cards...
to see goodman talking about weed was kinda good :)

I dont know. What I do see is the things all mammels have in common. The way we're built.
Legs, arms 2 eyes etc... I feel very close related to animals, just because I see that we're constructed the same way.
We're all variations on one concept.
But have you also noticed, cars are also very 'human'? 2 lights (eyes) the thing inbetween (grill?) Bumpers. But... 4 wheels (2 arms 2 legs) An exhaust and a fuel inlet.
very weird.

I read a good sci fi book about an explorer that found this portal on an asteroid and every time he went back into the portal he went millions of years into the future he was traped and had to keep going forward untill the universe had cooled down and most stars had died and man controled black holes and could move planets,
this kept going and the astoroid turned into a perfect sphere because so much time had passed that it turned into its natural shape like a drop of water! anyway everything ended up stored on a super compter thing and the universe was dead ..
the book is called 'Time' by stephen baxter

If you have read neuromancer, you will think of the matrix as a very cheap ripoff.

It is a universe inside the universe. Only the logic is your constrain. That is why we need different types of intelligence to know what really is behind the corner we call infinity. Than, how can something that is found within the universe be fully aware of the universe itself?
I used to be able to think in loops but I got it damaged somehow and became slower and sloweeeer aaaaannndd slllllll.
