This might explain why we are unable to see through time – we just don’t extend enough
in that direction for it to be visible.
Your form might be quite different than you at first thought.
It’s useful to consider the existence of other dimensions beyond the 3 that we see,
but there are other edges and frontiers in the universe that pose further questions. For one,
does space ever end?
Is the universe inescapable? If we were to conquer the limitations of light speed and were
to travel to space’s furthest
edge, what might we find? Just more space? Infinite planets and planetary systems?
Or would we somehow come back to where we started? Amazingly, according to
scientists, all of these are possible, but which one is correct
comes down to the nature of that unseen world all around us.
We need to understand the shape of space. And to do that, we need to begin by talking
about infinity.
You likely are already familiar with infinity. In maths, it is the concept of a number so
large, it cannot possibly be beaten.
Of course, no such number exists – for any number you can name, I could come up with
a number that is at least 1 larger than it.
But in a way, that’s sort of the point. In infinity, there is always another number. And
when it comes to our universe, we have so far discovered no edges.
There may always be another star or planet. An infinite universe is a little mind-boggling
for us.
We live in a very finite world, with edges and endings. So, the idea that there might be
literally infinite more planets out there is a little
bewildering. However, as we develop more and more powerful telescopes and push back
the darkness further
and further at the edges of what we can observe in our universe, all we are finding is that
even the darkest patches of the night sky are turning out to be brimming with stars.
So increasingly, an infinite universe might be something we are forced to contemplate.
