As I walk the dog at night, I look up at the myriad of Stars and in the Winter, I particularly look towards Orion and think of the beliefs the ancient Egyptians had about that constellation. "Below", I see Sirius twinkling and "changing colour".
I then get to wondering, probably as many who look to the Stars have done, just how big is the Universe?
If we accept that the Universe we know "began" with a bang, that event happened "somewhere" which must surely be "the centre of the Universe"?
If you "accept" that scenario, I wonder just where are we in relationship to either "the centre" or the furthest "edge"?????
Which "direction" should we look to even look towards the "centre"?
Forgetting the "centre" and looking back to Orion, during the Winter, it's interesting to see how our view of it "changes" as our perspective is changed by our orbit around the Sun.
Fascinating. Well, it would be if I could see the Stars and it wasn't for the fog tonight. 😞
It's life Jim, but not as WE know it.
Live long and prosper.
