People often say they can’t fathom a never-ending universe.

Question.

Can you fathom a universe that has an end?

Think.

Isn’t it just as hard to imagine a universe that has an end as it is to imagine a never ending universe? Imagine the universe having an end. What does your mind immediately jump to a picture of? Well, what’s beyond the end of the universe, and the end of that, and the end of that, and the end of that, and the end of that? We want to imagine the universe as having an end because on Earth, in our experience, everything has an end. At the same time, there is always something beyond the end of everything else. Beyond my feet is my room, beyond that is my house, beyond that is the sky, beyond that is the solar system, beyond that is the galaxy, beyond that is deep space and more galaxies…

You see? At the same time as you’re having a hard time imagining something with no end, you’re in essence creating an image of something that has no end.
