What is in Space
Gas plume near the edge of the Orion Nebula.The extent of the universe as we see it through the telescope is inconceivably large, but it is so on account of our experience which is confined to much smaller dimensions. In other words, dimensions are not based on an absolute scale, but upon the scale of our experience. Furthermore, our experience arises solely through our senses which are admittedly limited and biased. We think of atoms, as we know them, as being small planetary systems far beyond the revealing power of the microscope. Who can say that the entire universe of which we are conscious is more than a complex atom of a still greater cosmos? Who can say what is large and what is small?
