Does anyone know how vast space is? It goes forever?
My mind does not fathom it.
God spoke ....

Nope, no one knows. The farthest galaxy we've seen is 13.4 billion light years away. The farthest we can possibly see is about 14 billion light years, because at that point space is expanding faster than light. But since the universe is expanding, and light would have taken 14 billion years to get here, it would be about 46.5 billion light years away by now. That is only the limit of how far we can see, however. No one knows how far beyond that it actually goes.
