You're talking about trying to understand the infinite. It's the same thing mathematicians deal with, just focusing on the physical. We humans can't grasp it.may sound strange, but as a kid at 6/7yrs old, and a little interested in science but having 0 knowledge of astronomy / physics ..., I would think about how the universe is described as a thing / a noun. Then I would think that, if the universe is something, then it has boundaries like every other something, and if it has boundaries, then there has to be something else beyond those boundaries since a boundary is a dividing line between one something and another something, - and so what would that other something beyond the universe's boundary be?. Then I'd feel a little weird and go back to my hotwheels, but even now 50+ yrs later, and still dim about those subjects though progressing quite far on others,, I still can't quite get my head this whole universe business.

There is no being that can grasp the infinite. It's outside of anyone's experience. Humans can describe it with math or physics...but no being can grasp it. Unless you attribute a consciousness to the universe, which I would certainly entertain.You're talking about trying to understand the infinite.

Because of boredom, craving, grasping and clinging
The Who -- "Everything is Nothing; Nothing is Everything..."Nothing is something.
Some physicists understand that since the universe's creation / Big Bang, the universe had a finite starting point and is currently expanding. The "boundary" we might see as the known universe might be the farthest reaching stars or galaxies on the edge of the expanding universe.may sound strange, but as a kid at 6/7yrs old, and a little interested in science but having 0 knowledge of astronomy / physics ..., I would think about how the universe is described as a thing / a noun.

well, feel free to let yourself out given your suspicions - I'm not the bong type either - little to hi-strung for that shit.However, if this is just something you might discuss over a bong hit, I'll be letting myself out and heading elsewhere, first of all, because I don't smoke, but the smell of smoke is palpable in this case...
So'k, I was never too much of a One Size Fits All guy...learned my lesson after watching cartoons and thinking that I could learn more by not smoking. Those years are well-ensconced in my memory, and I've no desire to re-enact them...well, feel free to let yourself out given your suspicions - I'm not the bong type either - little to hi-strung for that shit.
Some schools of thought attribute the existence of something a little more positively, as being akin to a dance, or form of play.
I believe it is called Lila in Hindi. Just as a child feels that exuberant bliss of mere being so, too, might all of existence be a manner
of play that exists for its own sake, and not for the sake of an end or goal, but just to be.
Then, god is another name for craving, grasping and clingingBasically there was nothing and then God was all like “Big Bang all up in here” and now this. I’m skipping over some of the details.
And that, right there, makes absolutely no sense to me, and is something I expect will eventually be challenged and proven wrong. Otherwise, the theories that we’re living in a cosmic Petri dish lab experiment suddenly make sense.the universe had a finite starting point
