I am fairly cavalier about dismissing things that make no sense to me. The Easter bunny makes no sense to me. God makes no sense to me. I can laugh about that. That he may make sense to other people is fine with me. But I can laugh about that too. (But I try not to laugh AT people, only at their follies, as I preceive them) It is often not fine with other people that God makes no sense to me. But that is their problem.

If the universe is expanding ( we only know it is expanding relative to us), then the space itself may be expanding. If space folds back on itself, like a mobius strip, there may be no "end" as we conceive it. Then again, space might be infinite. The only edge we can be sure about is the light we see at the edge of the universe, which may or may not have anything to do with the boundaries of space. It is a metaphysical question as far as we are concerned, imo, because we just don't know. Some day it may not be metaphysical. I like it that fundamental questions remain a mystery, and I see no reason to "believe" something untestable, because there are some questions I cannot answer "for sure".
