I have been watching my thread expand just like the universe, and it has been fascinating to read the various observations which none of us can prove or disprove, other that to say our section of the 'universe' is still travelling outwards from the big bang of 13.7 - 14 billion years ago.
Thomas Hobbes (1588 - 1679) described this action, without the fuller scientific knowledge we have now, as "matter in motion", forever travelling through the universe until deflected by human actions on earth.
However just consider that everything in this universe is formed from atoms, and each atom is 99.9% nothing, empty, zilch!! Therefore, whatever we think the universe is, containing those stars and planets mentioned in that wonderful piece of film in my opening post, it IS 99.9% NOTHING!!!!!!

8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)
The scale of this though is beyond human comprehension given our view of scale and dimension. But, what if there is some supreme being, I believe it is God, who has this globe on his/her table..........the globe containing the whole universe...................all in tiny scale!!

Food for thought??
