infinity (small)

Both physicists and religious leaders incorporate infinity when describing reality.

Physicists claim that the universe is infinite in its size, while religious leaders claim that god is infinite in his power and his wisdom. But infinity can exist only in mathematics and in imaginations. We have no problems in imagining infinity. That is because compared to the universe, we are so small and compared to god, we are so lacking, and compared to the age of the universe, our life span is so short. Many physicists agree with religious leaders that there is no beginning of time. They both claim that time is infinite.

It is easy to imagine time to be infinite, because our fleeting moment of reality is so very short and we move so very slowly compared to the speed of light. Time exists only as a man-made concept of measuring motion. Man, for all intents and purposes, is motionless, and lives and dies at the same place and the same time in the vast universe where he is born.

It is also easy to imagine space to be infinite, because the space we find ourselves in on the earth is so very small compared to the size of the universe. Space exists only as a frame of reference for measuring position.

Man, for all intents and purposes, lives on a 2 dimensional finite surface without any edges and without a center. This is because we are stuck on a very large extending film that is insignificantly thin, the surface of the sphere, our earth. Stuck on the ground, we can choose any direction, and be able to travel in that direction without ever reaching an edge. This is an illusion of infinity.

In that light, the entire universe can be looked on as if it occupies a relatively thin shell of a finite area of a relatively large sphere. This shell is without any edges or a center.

Its 2 inner surfaces are like mirrors reflecting all light in between. As we look at the sky, we see its vast extension within the shell. As we look directly up, out of the shell, light is reflected and is guided and kept within the shell.

There is no edge or center to the universe just like there is no edge or center to our earth's surface. Not having an edge or center is an illusion of infinity.
