[ How would you get your mind around the idea of "an unbounded space?" ]

Unbound space?..
If reality were bound does that make it a second reality?..
If reality were unbound does that make it first reality?..

Is an unbound space like an unbound Universe?..
How could you bind a Universe?.. or even Multi-verse?

What would you call the container?..
Thats really one big plastic bag.. You know; since we're shopping and all..

I guess Galaxy's revolve in something, I mean they "push" against something...
Like a cyclone.. but at the edge, the far edge of the Universe

Whats there?... Looks like the limit of mans conceptual conceiving.. What is the Universe contained in?.. Thats one bodacious designer bag.. If space is unbound that would be another way of specifing infinity.. which is a variation of eternity.. which makes human reality a cartoon.. Wonder if theres another reality beyond mankinds observation thats so real it makes human experience like a firefly in a jar..

If so, it would be a feepin shame to miss it..
It would be like a firefly released from the jar to fly off into the woods(universe).. You know, to do what fireflys do.. whatever that is.. I like fireflys..

John 12;35 Then Jesus told them, "You are going to have the light just a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, before darkness overtakes you. The man who walks in the dark does not know where he is going. 36Put your trust in the light while you have it, so that you may become sons of light." When he had finished speaking, Jesus left and hid himself from them.

Thank you so much for sharing your musings, dear brother in Christ!

What is the Universe contained in?..

Of a truth, space/time does not pre-exist - it is created as the universe expands.

Since the 1960's measurements of the cosmic microwave background radiation to this day, observations support the inflationary model. And that means, of course, that there was a beginning of real space and real time.

As Jastrow pointed out, that was the most theological statement ever to come out of modern science. The first phrase of Scripture is "In the beginning, God created..."
