Something that has always fascinated me is space, and infinity. An infinity of space. Space for an infinity. One thing I've never really been able to discuss this with, because I've never really found the words - is the impossible, yet completely possible law, that the universe just goes on, forever and ever. I just can't seem to completely wrap my head around that. It's like putting it simply so that people don't ask questions. It doesn't make sense. To me, an infinity of time makes sense - because anything beyond this second hasn't happened yet, but undeniably, without a doubt, no matter what, it will. Time will go on, and therefore time is an infinity we can see (Unless the entire universe explodes into nothingness - but I'm getting to that). As John Green pointed out - some infinities are greater than other infinities. Like the infinity of numbers between 0 and 2 is larger than that between 0 and 1. These infinities make sense. But how can the universe go on forever? What if there wasn't anything? Not even a blank, white space? Then would nothing be something and therefore nothing at all? I can't even hold onto the thought long enough for myself to understand it.
