I'm not sure about the current speculation about how big the Universe is.
But I've been thinking, instead of seeing the Universe as always expanding, could the Universe be spinning? Like on an axis
Like when until the 1400s when we finally figured out that the Earth was Circular.

My thought is that it's just big. Doesnt expand or spin or anything. It's like being in costco, It's a big store and sometimes cant see the other end of the store but sooner or later you'll find the END.

I realized its fucking huge, way beyond that we think.
Thats why I think you cant find the end cause its circular possibly.
Idk, alot of different possibilities.

its quite impossible to know since we can't see the universe as a whole.

So could it be ever expanding then?

the known universe seems to be expanding out from what appears to be the same point. but that is just the known universe.

there are more stars in the universe than there are grains of sand on earth. and it is expanding outward -> hence big bang theory

It has to be infinite. There's a point where the presence of matter will end, and all that's left is an endless void.
If its finite, then whats at the end that would keep you from going?
Eventually all the matter will probably fall back in on itself.

such a big question to such a small amount of human race existence time.. why bother? thats the question!

but to light up some minds, our brains can only understand until a certain point, theres sooo much more besides what we can acknowledge as human beings!

its like wanting to see through a cement wall, u wont be able to using ur own eyes.. no matter how much u think of where to look or how to focus ur vision, u cant see trough the cement wall!

thats just how weak our brains are to think on such a universe question.
