There is no point in living really.

Just think. There are a trillion atoms that make you up. How many atoms does this thing comprise of?

 

Mmmmmomma said atoms is the devil.

No doubt. We are truly infinitesimal, yet it goes infinitely smaller, if string theory is true.

Such unimaginable scale, I wish I could imagine myself having a good job and some health insurance...lol [&o]

 

That's what I believe in; infinite largeness and infinite smallness. Interesting you mention it cause I thought the same thing watching the video. Kind of freaks me out becauseI used to have very intense nightmares about it as a kid. Wish you luck finding a good job ~ It'll happen.

 

I read, watch and absorb all I can about the *universe* and it's various theoretical forms. Space.com is my home page and Discovery and the Science channel are on my TV more than any others.

My wife thinks I'm nuts but...there is a lot to learn, and a LOT more to discover.

 

I am the same .. I always have those channels on and record anything about space, time and the universe ..it absolutely fascinates me .. also these programs help keep things in perspective :-)

Mental exercise:

In your mind's eye, zoom into an object until you can "see" (imagine) it's sub atomic particles...

Then start zooming out level by level. Try to imagine the:

Atoms...
Molecules...
The matter the object is made of...
The parts the object is made of...
The object itself...
The place it is located....
The town...
the country..
the continent...
the planet...
the Moon orbiting arround it...
the solar system...
the galaxy...
the nearest nehiboring galaxy, Andromeda...
The universe...
And try to imagine beyond...


It's one of my favorite mental exercises/ meditations.

 

Being as it isinfinite, my guess is you would have to master time travel in order to evenbegin the explorationof thevastness, even within our own universe. Time travel sounds goofy, but Einstein believed it could be achieved, and as we all know, he was a pretty smart guy.
As much as I like to learn about what's out there, it also makes me sad, when you consider all of the marvel that our universe, or even our little speck of dust Earth, has to offer. Yet we are incapable of, even in light of this, in stopping wars among ourselves, or to even take care of the place we live in. I unfortunately do not believe humanity will reach it's full potential, unless something extraordinary were to happen ~ but I'm pessimistic.

 

There has to be some finite minimal structure that makes up everything. Infinity is not a number and there for doesn't exist. It's just a concept.
