I was thinking to myself the other day. You know whta i thought? i thought about elephants. Pink elephants. What the fuck is up with pink elephants. They are all over whinny the pooh, and all they do is wreak havoc.... not to mention sit in your brian for a half hour. WHen someone says dont think of about pink elephants, what are you gonna do, think about grey lions? NO!
by the way this is cool:
1st imagine we have a space ship that can speed off at millions of times the speed of light. Then imagine we start at Earth.
As we speed off we see the earth getting smaller, and the solar system becomes a tiny dot that looks like a star. Then after a bit we start to see other solar systems that look like stars from this far out. Then multitudes of stars are showing until finally we have left the galaxy. We already know what our Milky way galaxy looks like.
We speed further and further until we are far enough out that our Milky way galaxy looks like a single point, a single star, other galaxies join ours and more and more until space is filled with stars like galaxies. This is our universe, we continue even faster now for the space is exponentially greater here. After a while we see our universe as a whole for we have gone far enough to leave it behind... stragely enough our universe looks much like our galaxy, the swirling pattern is much the same... We go even further, until out universe now looks like a single point, and other universes come into view. After much longer we can see the multiverse, which looks like the universe, which looks like our galaxy. There is more, so much more. I will call the act of going out far enough to see these images that look like galaxies: Expanding.
We can expand this view so many times that there is no number large enough. We as humans may or may not ever travel this far. But if we could, and we expand the images all the way, we would reach a great expanse. This great expanse is how we would see it, but in reality, we would have only left the body of the living thing we live within.
