Infiniteness

I was chilling on my porch today looking up at the sky, when I got to thinking. How large is the universe ? Nobody really knows for sure. The farthest we can see is about 15 billion light years away, hence the approximated 15 billion year age of our universe. But I think it really shows a lot depending on whether you think the universe is only as large as how far we can see or if there's potentially unlimited amount of space beyond.


Some people see imagination as pointless because we live in the literal. In their minds, we're enclosed within the earth, our country, our job, our minds. Imagination is essentially an embodiment of freedom. And what else but the largest of these "containers" can show the limit of a person's freedom in their mind ? Of course, this isn't a for sure method, it's just an interesting test, much like "is the glass half-full or half-empty".
