Hi Sylas. Thanks. Your explanation is very clear and helpful. The universe has no edge, but we can consider our present location in time, this moment, as a horizon to our limits of perception. Can I then make the assumption that the universe is spatially infinite in all directions ? Given...

OK - I understand. One could end up a little nonplussed about the spurious nature of the analogy though. Yes, and we could extrapolate the analogy to apply to a human being on the surface of the earth. OK .. OK. I thought at the outset, we were talking about an edge to the three...

Hi Dave. Thanks. Yes, I am familiar with your analogies above - very 'Flatland'. Interesting that you to refer the 'edge of the universe' thing as a spurious analogy - I thought it was an actual proposition by other posters, and that analogies were given to explain THAT ! Anyhow, I need...

Hello. I've read through the last several pages again recently, in an attempt to resolve the issue I was wondering about earlier. I still haven't been able to resolve it, and could even say I'm even more confused and mystified as to what's been said by some. I have a reasonable understanding...

To mismaratwork, #281; In post #279 I said .. "There was a statement made earlier by blandview (?) that we live at the edge of the universe" .. which you took as an insult, and said in post #283 .. "Generally manipulating a name (blandrew to blandview) is an insult, showing...

I have a reasonable idea of what they mean. There was a statement made earlier by blandview (?) that we live at the edge of the universe. I queried this and was given some analogy, which I need to understand .. equally vague, in order to understand the former .. kind of circular, that...

Definitely sounds like semantics or more. How did you deterimine the centre of the book if it's length was INdeterminate ? Edge of the story ? What does that analogise ?

I still don't get it. To equate the edge of the universe to time, seems to be just playing with language. To repeat once again, you said “we live in its present, observe its past and wait for its future. So in that regard, we're at the edge” In what regard ? I am at the edge of the universe...

I still don't get it. And earlier you posted ; we live in its present, observe its past and wait for its future. So in that regard, we're at the edge That would seem to me to be in the middle of the temporal dimension, not at the edge. But why mix space and time ? Surely the three...

Hi. Accepting that it has 4D's, 1 of time and 3 of space, isn't it a dodge to equate the edge with time ? What is it's spatial rather than it's temporal edge?
