alborzFri, Apr 27, 2007 Hmm, I like that Superfamous - even if it were to end, we (you, me, cupcakewizard, grains of sand and everything else) would end with it. That's interesting. I think I have a hard time wrapping my mind around an infinite universe having a finite amount of material in it. But I guess it's to be expected that such things would be difficult to conceptualize. But I definitely see your point of the universe as an ongoing process.
cupcakewizard, your idea reminds me of the quote from Michelangelo:
In every block of marble I see a statue as plain as though it stood before me, shaped and perfect in attitude and action. I have only to hew away the rough walls that imprison the lovely apparition to reveal it to the other eyes as mine see it.
