| Re: Is deep Space deep? The depth of space, while quantifiable, is virtually impossible for us to conceive, yet is still only a matter of perspective.  (I'm still trying to decide if the above statement even makes any sense.  )

May be Space shouldn't be measured or understood by Earth's standard? But then how can we comprehen all the things around us? Again, I don't know if the above questions make any sense...

| Re: Is deep Space deep? I must harken back to 1972 with Hawkwind and their classic space rock album, Doremi Fasol Latido. Space Is Deep. Space is dark, it is so endless when you're lost it's so relentless It is so big, it is so small why does man try to act so tall Is this the reason deep in our minds It does not feel, it does not die space is neither truth nor lie Into the void we have to travel to find the clue that will unravel Is this the reason deep in our minds The secrets lie with our tomorrow in each of us a hidden sorrow The path goes onward through the night beyond the realms of ancient light Is this the reason deep in our minds. I think they not only imply the physical depth of space but the profound answers we find there. |

So space might be bigger (or deeper if you want), we can only talk about the part of the universe which can have (or actually has since we see the early light) causal contact with us...
