Scientists have said there is neither end nor beginning to the universe. To us, our little world is huge. I could not spend five days of my life in every town in the United States, let alone the world. My world is a small thing dwelling in po-dunk Utah, wondering if my life is ever going to start and if the truth were told Small SUU is the beginning and the end.
Now imagine the universe. It starts with Cedar City, expanding to Iron County. Iron County gives way to the state of Utah. Utah is drowned by the United States of America. Zoom your vision out further and you will find our North American Continent. Past that we get a view of the world. It is a grain of sand on a zillion mile beach with no end. We strain our vision and find an expanse of sand as far as the eye can see. We run in a straight line for years wondering if our earth really is so small only to discover...its true. We are a speck, if even that.
Grab a string and stretch it until it is a football field-width long. Now tie a knot in the middle of this string. The knot is our earth and on either side is the expanse of black punctuated by tiny lights of terrestrial beauty. Take the string and bring it around the world. Even then we are not touching base with the dream of forever.
Massive, endless, forever, eternally our universe extends. Try imagining forever. Try to see the string with no beginning. Now see it with no stopping point.
Go take some aspirin.
