Just recently NASA has discovered and made visible a galaxy that is the furthest away from earth at about 400 million years. ' No big deal' one thinks, but then i started to wonder what this means. Our universe apparently started with a 'big bang' about 15 billion years ago (may be a few minutes more or less..) and formed the star and galaxy structure as we know it 1 billion years ago. Meaning before that was absolutely nothing, just endless blackness which has been appropriately named the 'dark ages'.
It just blows my mind to think how big the whole universe is and to think that it is infinitive any reference of measurement is actually useless. Does it end somewhere and we just don't know about it yet ? Creepy to think that perhaps our universe fits on a particle of dust of some parallel dimension. AJ
