I don't buy infinity

Jeremy Leach

I don’t buy infinity

I don’t believe that space is endless

I think we’re trapped in a paradigm of thinking in 3D

And a mathematica that’s unhelpfully limitless

 

The perpetual question of ‘what lies outside’?

Of no ending and of no beginning

The perplexity of always being able to divide

For this we still don’t have an inkling

 

Some form of 'closed-loop' would be my best bet

But I've really no clue, just between you and me

With a wanting brain, hard-wired to not understand yet

But one thing I do know :  I don’t buy infinity

    Why is it that in our arrogance we assume that we have a brain that is capable of understanding all that nature is and has developed over billions of years? Maybe our limited instruments just don't have the processor, the memory capacity, the video card or even the proper mother board to accommodate such processing even if we could find the right apps Good write

      In reality we are not the important intelligent species we like to believe, we do not have the understanding, ability or capacity to process the question raised in this write, an interesting and enjoyable read

        I agree. To the point that I get some satisfaction when science is overturned!

        Science is the most insidious religion I have found to date, as full of lies as any other, and yet frighteningly the most prevalent. Infiniti...is a vehicle, that's the best description and my favorite. Wrap my head around what is too elusively huge? Are you kidding?! Beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a haunting poignancy. Keep looking as the answer is closer than you think. Thank you for sharing.
