Space

[Bus Driver J]

The thing about space that interests me the most is this:
You are standing in a random spot outside in an open area. If you were to shine a strong and focused light straight up into space, it will NEVER end. Theres no dome we live in. We arent enclosed in anything. Its never ending and goes FOREVER.
I can easily grasp other galaxies and such but the fact that it doesnt end bewilders me.

I've been reading the fabric of the cosmos by Brian Greene. It is an overview of physics theories and explains a lot about time and space in laymen's terms. If you pick it up, just be prepared to take your time, and read things over because it is kind of heavy if you don't have any background in the material.

Thanks man, Il def look into that book. I enjoy reading complex things but sometimes I dont want my head to explode while reading. Im big into philosophy and religion books but something like this would be awesome.

:edit: I just bought this book on eBay for $6.36 shipped, LOL. Goodwill of San Fransisco FTW!!
