When I was five years old, an older Lady who lived upstairs from us was babysitting me.
We ware sitting on the Stoop (front porch) the enjoying the evening and looking up at the Stars in the Sky. I turned to the poor Lady and asked, where does Space end?

Once upon a time, somebody heard the expression "begs the question" and started using it without bothering to find out what it means.

If you try to find the limit of liberals’ stupidity, you’ll see that infinity does indeed exist.
Hasn’t quantum mechanics abolished the concept of infinitely small already? Isn’t the planck length the point at which the universe “pixilates” — that is, at which no smaller thing could exist? Or does the theory of inflation suggest that the size of the planck length itself has grown?
Also: How weird would it be if there isn’t enough matter in the universe to cause a Big Crunch, but there is something else altogether which would limit the universe’s size before Heat Death? Some force or property of space which limits expansion, the way you can only stretch a waistband so far before it resists further stretching?
I think I’ll stay well outside this one.
“Computer models”
Guess that solves it.
