What if the Earth is floating in a black void for endless miles..and that's all there is?
For all intents and purposes, yes.
>>17007499That may very well be all there is for us right now. But don't forget how long time really is and how easily things that are impossible now become possible in an instant once circumstances change. The universe is made of nested relational patterns and the relationships are constantly changing at the most recent level. Something incredible may become possible in the very distant future and if somehow you are able to be brought back by then the wait will have felt like nothing for you because unconsciousness is a time machine in it's own right. This is all possible whether you are religious or not because if you are then you probably believe in a soul and if you aren't then you must believe that a human being is essentially the sum of their parts, and those parts are made of matter and energy that never gets destroyed. Even the heat death of the universe isn't a guaranteed end when you consider that it's a kind of universal symmetry and leading scientific theories assume symmetry was broken several times during the early phase of our current universe.
>>17007499That sounds like complete madness. I suggest going back and calculating a finite shroud area around the universe because space has expanded since the beginning; it means there was something from the outside.
>>17007598Does it matter what's outside the observable? Might as well be joghurt
