I wonder what occupied all that space 14 billion years ago.

I once had a guy with a masters in physics try to explain all of this to me during one of our discussions. What is out there where the universe ends? He used a paper model of the infinity symbol to try to explain it all. Still, it is hard for the human mind to contemplate that nothing exists where the universe ends. To me,even nothing is something.
This is a great thread with excellent replies. This subject has always fried my mind when I try to think about it.

People don don’t know how big or how old the universe is.
It’s nothing more than speculation.
These people that claim the earth is 13.7 billion years old know about as much about that as those people that believe it is 6000 years old.

My dating for the age of the universe (13,700,000,005 billion years and counting) is more accurate so I should get some of the prize money.
