The ultimate theory of relativity

"1.Tis true without lying, certain & most true.
2.That which is below is like that which is above & that which is above is like that which is below to do the miracles of one only thing
3.And as all things have been & arose from one by the mediation of one: so all things have their birth from this one thing by adaptation.
4.The Sun is its father, the moon its mother, the wind hath carried it in its belly, the earth is its nurse.
5.The father of all perfection in the whole world is here.
6.Its force or power is entire if it be converted into earth.
7.Separate thou the earth from the fire, the subtle from the gross sweetly with great industry.
8.It ascends from the earth to the heaven & again it descends to the earth & receives the force of things superior & inferior.
9.By this means you shall have the glory of the whole world
10.& thereby all obscurity shall fly from you.
11.Its force is above all force. For it vanquishes every subtle thing & penetrates every solid thing.
12.So was the world created.
13.From this are & do come admirable adaptations whereof the means (or process) is here in this. Hence I am called Hermes Trismegist, having the three parts of the philosophy of the whole world
14.That which I have said of the operation of the Sun is accomplished & ended. "

I saw a show recently about astrophysics where the presenter was talking about black holes and how there is a possibility that a black hole could contain other galaxies and our galaxy could be within a black hole within a galaxy etc etc.
It led me to muse that The universe truly is infinite but not in the way that we think about it, ie: 'an infinite number' suggesting a 'unit' of infiniteness. It is truly mind bogglinlgy infinite in the sense of (infinity) X (infinity) X (infinity) ad infinitum

I can almost think about it then my mind just crashes and resets...

There is some evidence to support the idea that you can't keep shrinking or expanding things in size. There are absolute limits.

.. but those limits are AWESOME. Like the speed of light or the size of an electron. They perhaps do exist but not on an experiential level.
