Science of the Unknown
for Say it Plainly
The thing about the universe is that we really don’t know it. We live in it, yes….
We take up space in it, and it takes up space around us. We think we know what it is, because it’s everything. But what is everything? That’s not really a good answer.
Only recently has science tried to tackle the question of what it really consists of. What shape is it?
Is it a plain, that goes on forever? Most have probably thought it’s a sphere… because we have our three dimensions, and that would make the most logical sense.
But we can’t even perceive the edges. How could we? So then all rules are out the window.
It could be a cube, a pyramid, a cylinder, a blob. Heck, it could even be one of those 3-D star shapes the mystics called the Merkabba!
We’ll never know as long as we’re on the inside looking out. What’s it like trying to find the shape of the universe? Well… can an ant know the shape of a blanket?
