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?

Ohhhh, that stuff gives me cold chills I just love it!!! I watch ALL that stuff, especially the new show with Morgan Freeman.
I think (don't quote me) they say that eventually a black hole will slow down and stop sucking stuff up, but while it does, things at the entrance start stretching and so anything going into it would be destroyed before it even got "inside", so we can't be in one now. hmmm
Also, there are 100 billion galaxies, and each one has 100 billion suns. Life out there? Helloooo, YES!
But the infinity thing? I'm with you, I see "endings", didn't the universe "begin"? Parallel "membranes" bumping and causing new universes? Yikes. Yup, I love listening to Stephen Hawking. I try SO hard to grasp all this but it's just too complex.
But three neat things: 1) when we look into the sky, we are looking into the past. So when we look at the sun, what we see is 8 minutes in the past. 2) If we were in a space ship for 10 years, when we got back to earth it would be 1000 years later (I think that's right). WOW 3) and the universe is expanding! How? Why? Yikes! Oh, my poor brain. lol
Neat stuff huh?
