Even if the macro-universe ain't infinite, there'd still be an infinite number of SoV's within it. No matter where you go, you're always at the exact center of your personal SoV. oc

It is increasing but that incease is decreasing. Mitch Raemsch

I agree with Fred only I'd go one step further pointing out the collapse into black holes with disintegration pretty much describes the Obama administration. The "end" is clearly near. |
