The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Depending on how you define 'the universe' it could be infinite (space) or finite (space containing something other than light/energy).

I can imagine a finite volume in which all matter exists. Maybe all matter is swirling in that space due to some energy phenomenon (gravity). Maybe it's constantly expanding into space....which is infinite even it's a void.

It pointless pondering a finite universe (space) because there's always more space on the other side of any line you can describe, even if there aren't fine people on both sides of that line.

Two years ago my sister said to me, "If I don't make it to Christmas, I'll see you in the stars.

Last year she opened her eyes and said "Sano, Sh!t happens."

Then she left. Matter devoid of energy.

Her energy?... traveling outward through the galaxies?... chasing Starman's roadster? Nah. Her matter? Recycling.
