QuoteIt fucks my head up almost as much as thinking where space ends and where it does end what starts and how long does that go on for. 
Also when our spacial time started, how far does it really go back and what came before and how long was that in existence. 

According to Bill Bryson, space is finite but it does not have boundaries, in a way which we can't comprehend because we can't perceive the extra dimensions involved. You can't get to the edge of the universe because there isn't one. But it isn't infinite.

So that's that sorted out then  :(

And for all those who want to realise everything they know is total bollocks...

As physics is currently understood (so I understand), we have no idea of knowing what came before, um, this for want of a better term, as the science we know doesn't work when you squeeze all the matter of the universe together (or approach light speed for that 'matter'*chortle!*). There's also some rumblings that the science we know doesn't even apply to other parts of the universe! THERE AIN'T NO UP, PEOPLE! 

I love not knowing stuff. It makes me feel good inside!

Sheesh lads, it's all pretty obvious really:  God did it.  Problem solved, now go back to your idolatry and pointless amoral existences.  I also complete jigsaws by cutting out new shapes that fit the ones I can't find, if anyone needs a hand with that.

No worries, braw. That other one you linked will do nicely. As for the universe, we're all stuck in a big / small glass pyramid in a smug Tory's drawer. Like in Zenith.
