If you say, the universe is expanding, that's not it.
How could you conceive of infinite space and matter, anyway?
How?
Yet, that seems to be the case, apparent infinity, for now.
If you say, the universe has limits, what are the limits of what lies outside it?
And what, then, are the limits of what lies outside that?
And so on...
It leads on, after a while, to consideration of what is called nothingness. If the universe is not limitless, then there may be a concept of nothingness which applies at its periphery.
What then, after all, is nothingness, and then the idea of the problem of infinity rears its ugly head again, and one wonders then whether nothingness, beyond somethingness, is infinite, and what infinite means in the context of infinite nothingness beyond being?
