Luke quotes

'Space is almost infinite. As a matter of fact, we think it is infinite.'
- Dan Quayle

This is a funny statement Luke. Space may be boundless in the sense that it
is expanding, but to say it is infinite or almost infinite is really funny.
'Binary logic' seems to trip people up. What are your comments on this
quote, or does any one else have a comment on this conception of space as......?

If outer space was infinite then light would not travel in a circle, and the
universe would also have no beginning nor end. It may not end -the universe
- to say that it is infinitely big, or bigger than big is a metaphysical
error. Perhaps the universe is a split phrase, or an entity that possesses
contradictory-complimentary fundamential properties? 

Plato states in Timaeus that the universe is a body without organs since it
does not need organs to expell its' wastes. It recycles these wastes, and
since there is nothing outside the universe no organs of perception are
needed. It is the orginal BWO.

In truth ignorant,
