home!
Where are we? So, one day many years ago I ask myself a question, try to wrap my brain around it and started to feel sick. No, it wasn't "What the hell did I drink last night!?"... I'm in the lucky position that I don't really suffer from that affliction, but I digress. The question was "What encloses this universe?". Starting at a lower level, any object is surrounded by something else, tea is enclosed in a teabag, next in a tea box, the box can be put inside a drawer, etc. Even when just held in a hand, there is a boundary like the livingroom, kitchen, or even outside and then we're talking Earth's atmosphere. Every object exists somewhere and has a finite distance. So, we exist on a planet, inside a solarsystem, a galaxy, and then what? So we have a large group of galaxies, it takes up a certain amount of space, so what surrounds this space? If there is a barrier, what's outside of it? popping up at the other side of the universe like some sort of loop is also a barrier. And if there's no barrier, how can there exist an infinite amount of space? Everything with physical properties must be somewhere, so where does one store infinity? Supposing something infinite can't exist, it would mean we don't exist either. This whole universe is a fraud. A program running inside a huge simulator? Now that would make for one hell of a religion.
