can you get your mind around it?
This has been debated since the days of the ancient Greeks. We may never be able to get our minds around such a concept. And there is even a video out there floating around of someone proclaiming it is an illusion yet has no logical explanation. He just says it so to him it is so. That is not how real science works. In this video they do examine the question from a couple different perspectives:
Explore the biggest question of all. How far do the stars stretch out into space? And what’s beyond them? In modern times, we built giant telescopes that have allowed us to cast our gaze deep into the universe. Astronomers have been able to look back to near the time of its birth. They’ve reconstructed the course of cosmic history in astonishing detail.
From intensive computer modeling, and myriad close observations, they’ve uncovered important clues to its ongoing evolution. Many now conclude that what we can see, the stars and galaxies that stretch out to the limits of our vision, represent only a small fraction of all there is.
Does the universe go on forever? Where do we fit within it? And how would the great thinkers have wrapped their brains around the far-out ideas on today’s cutting edge?
What do you think? Is this a concept that we can never understand? DO you have any commentary on the discussion?
Let’s find out what type of logic they apply in the video on page 2

Well I can’t imagine running into a wall around it
It did
I think always new universes apear and others disapear .sone died others born .and that will go on forever .changes .and recycling it self .shape and reshap.it self.
Somewhere out there other big bangs probably have made other universe’s
I think eventually you hit a point where it’s literal nothingness. No planets or stars etc just space
everything has a beginning and an end, at least in theory.
They once thought the world was flat. Is the universe also, that would make it infinite.
