I think about the SAME THINGS!! Doesn't just sort of make your brain feel melty or something? I have to figure it out though. I watch shows about space all the time and grill my scientist husband constantly about all of this stuff. I have read a little bit of stuff Stephen Hawking (no idea if I spelled that right) has written and it's just so amazing and unbelievable. There's a really cool show out right now on one of the sciency channels that Morgan Freeman narrates about space and infinity and all that.

My problem is when I think of things, I generally think of them in a circle. Like if I think over the past year, it's all this circle in my head, with whatever time of the year it is at the front and whatever is six months past at the back... um, like a flat circle sort of like a plate sitting on the table. Anyway, I think of everything in circular ways, but space is like a line that expands FOREVER. I just cannot grasp that forever and on thing. My mind always comes up with an ending and I have to remind myself that there is no end.

So, I've read stuff about black holes and I think that they can converge. BUT we've no proof that things exist in any form after they enter a black hole, so I don't know what would happen if everything was sucked into a black hole. How do we know we aren't in the midst of a black hole right now?

I saw the greatest explanation of space distance the other day. The dude reached down to the ground a picked up a piece of sand and said "this is our solar system" and those mountains over there (they were way far off, just a faint glimmer on the horizon) are the edge of our galaxy-the Milky Way... and there are billions upon billions of galaxies.

I mean, holy crap, can you wrap your brain around that?

Um, sorry, I am a little weird, as I have pointed out a bunch, sorry to just go nuts, I will try to shut up now.
