Somebody said this to me

[Jackalope]

Time beginning with the big bang never made sense to me. Still doesn't.

Also, the idea that whatever came from 'our' big bang is all the stuff there is anywhere never seemed likely to me either. Square the known expanse of 'our' known universe. Travel that far in every direction. I'll bet you you find some more stuff somewhere, eventually.

The least appealing idea of all was the one that said that not only all stuff and time came into being with the big bang but space itself too is limited to the extent of that big bang's expansion (i.e., the universe). So unintuitive. I must be a simpleton cosmologist but ideas that sound crazy often turn out to be just that.

I have no doubt that in reality the future will be vastly more surprising than anything I can imagine. Now my own suspicion is that the Universe is not only queerer than we suppose, but queerer than we can suppose.
