My point, which may not be well taken, is that from inside we can't tell what's outside. We can infer and we can guess, but we don't have the wherewithal to know either what was before time began or what is ourside our bubble. The edges of which we cannot see.
And our mathematical calculations which describe the inside of our bubble also allow for some possibilities outside the bubble, none of which can be confirmed.
Which leads one to wonder: Why does Man have eyes if He cannot see? Why can he figure out he's in an expanding bubble without being able to figure out what came before the bubble and what's outside the bubble? What evolutionary advantage is there for the ability to know without knowing what?
And if Ivory soap is 99 and 44/100% pure why does it float? The air which is trapped inside would be a contaminant, rendering it far less pure than that.
Much boggles the already confused mind.

You are certainly correct, especially with "may".

- More cooped than nested, I think.
- here's my deal...
- Well, this Universe has at least one boarder, me!
