    If there's more than one Universe, then there can't be a universe. :emoticon-0147-emo:

    You would need to sit outside a Universe to recognise that there exists Multiverses. Within a singular multiverse (which is of course a contradiction in terms) you can only perceive a Universe, regardless of whether Multiverses exist or don't exist.


    It's a grammatical minefield to be honest.

    I'm okay, I've got a helmet, which makes me brighter than Major Tom. <ok>

    On an another note, it depends which version of multiverses you go for, as in some, you have to experience one to be aware of the other. :emoticon-0147-emo:

    And I thought I was the only one to stand there,
    Twas a lonely place to be sure, think that space is around my waist, it’s expanding at an alarming rate…….

    Sounds of laughter shades of life are ringing
    Through my open ears inciting and inviting me
    Limitless undying love which shines around me like a million suns
    And calls me on and on across the multiverse...

    Nothing's gonna change my world(s).



    I'm currently plowing my way through Get Back.


    Fastinating.


    As always with these things it's the mundane which captures my imagination.


    George moaning.

    Ringo drinking tea.

    Paul looking overweight.

    John being too conscious of Yoko's presence.

    What is fascinating is the interest in a band that only recorded for just over 7 years and split up over 50 years ago. When you look at what they crammed into those years, touring, recording, films...it is amazing.

    It's expanding faster than the speed of light, which on the face of it sounds impossible as nothing can travel faster than the speed of light, but consider three galaxies in a line, let's call them A, B and C. Galaxy A recedes from B at the speed of light, as does B from C. Therefore A and C recede from each other faster than the speed of light as it's the space between them that is expanding rather than the galaxies just flying away from the centre. But there isn't a centre because there was never a singularity, if singularities could exist, which they probably can't thanks to relativity, rather a period of rapid expansion that happened everywhere all at once. And it's accelerating.

    And there isn't an edge, we can only see as far as 14.6 billion light years away to the big bang, but the universe is expanding away from those points in all dimensions. So the visible universe is only a fraction of the universe of which we are in, and the visible universe gets smaller as the rest of the universe expands faster than the speed of light.

    Simple really.

    You can find the answer @ #∞ Wormhole Way and we can all crawl back into it. :emoticon-0100-smile

    Quasars and tachyons can travel faster than light, and scientists have concluded that the speed of light is not always a constant. :emoticon-0147-emo:

    I think most of us struggle because we see space and time as separate and linear, when the likelihood is that they're neither.

    Basically, everything in the universe that is moving away from us at the speed of light will eventually become invisible to us. A long way into the future, expansion will have become so vast that we will no longer be able to see other galaxies because they will have moved beyond our field of view.
    We’re actually here at what is pretty early on in the universe’s timeline, if you can call it that.

    I rang Tesco last week because the selection box’s I ordered didn’t arrive in the shopping. They blamed Covid and the shortage of drivers. I asked if they would be in stock before Christmas. But pissed off with the reply.

    I can kind of get my head around something being infinitely large, but I struggle with the concept of 'infinitely small'.
