"It’s easy to disregard nothingness because there’s no thought available to encapsulate it. There’s no metaphor that fits because, by definition, once the nothingness becomes tangible, it ceases to exist."

An interesting take on the distances between the planets in our solar system. Takes a lot of scrolling to the right.

It is a mind bogglin' big universe...
😲
Think about this, the star Betelgeuse in the Constellation Orion, is so big, that if it sat where I sun does, the star it's self would extend out past the orbit of the planet Jupiter . . .

Hard to see on that last link, but the tiny dot is our sun, in comparison to Betelgeuse . . .
Say my name three times...go ahead!

It's like saying when you try to extrapolate the end of the universe, you say, if the universe is indeed infinite, then how - what does that mean? How far is all the way, and then if it stops, what's stopping it, and what's behind what's stopping it? So, what's the end, you know, is my question to you.
The concept that fascinates me is there is nothing past the boundary of the universe. Yet the universe is expanding into that nothing.
