Start by thinking big, really big

And then think even bigger than that.

When I was young, I remember we used to play a word game of a sort asking where something was and having to give its location inside the next largest unit above it until we’d hit the universe and be stuck at that point. And that’s today’s question: what’s the universe in?

I have no idea. I suspect that if I could go fast enough to reach the edge of the known universe and pass it, I'd find absolutely nothing. Possibly the laws of physics would no longer apply and I’d cease to exist the moment I left the universe. (Seems a little unlikely, though, because there couldn’t be a universe if the laws of physics, though not immediately present in the void, were not viable once they arrived.) Another possibility is that I’d get lost because unless I stopped and waited for the universe to expand to my position. I’d be unable to see it until light, at least, caught up with me. I might also run into a universe coming from the other direction.

Another problem from Zeno tomorrow. Something about dancing girls, but might have something to do with motion. Who knows?
