Well, it looks like my inmagination is taking me far as well. Maybe that's the answer, just because imagining feels great... now I understand the quote of Einstine..."Imagination is more powerful than knowledge," somehting like that I guess.... Seriously, this is the ultimate question: Where are we heading? Suggestion; Instead of asking what something is, is better to ask what something is not.... reason is because, asking what something is, you would get a tone of answers that are not wrong, neither right, but good, great or excellent. Think about it, and instead of What, why, where, when, how....ask yourself what is not.

We cant see far enough to be able to determine how many galaxies there are in the universe, 100 billion may very a very nice safe easy to comprehend number, but I dont think its even remotely close, just two weeks ago a few Australian scientists discovered that the Milky was is in fact twice the size previously thought, using only existing data... Im not so sure about this…
