    What is it? A night sky as seen from another planet/galaxy? One universe, right? Billions of galaxies. Infinite variety. Thank you for your reply and the graphic Ele

    It is one of hundreds of Hubble Deep Space photos taken by the Hubble telescope. Go to Google images and type in Hubble images. What you are seeing are galaxies billions of light-years away. This one is on my desk-top computer. Notice there seems to be a spiral pattern in their placement, although that is a coincidence.

    Wow! Thanks Ele. To say it is beautiful is a gross understatement. Breathtaking is more like  it. Now to know there are BILLIONS of galaxies in the Universe is something I really cannot grasp. Ours is beyond comprehension itself. Multiply that by oodles of googols and well I'm totally lost. Ever think there may be duplicates of us out there somewhere living their lives wondering if they are the only ones in the Universe? I'm gonna ask. :) This post was edited by RosieG at April 18, 2018 7:00 AM MDT

    But you're not sure of dark matter. How do you choose what you are sure of and what you aren't? I'm gonna ask. Thank you for your reply! :)

    I guess I could give you stand-up comedian answer. Everything is 50/50. It either exists or it doesn't. Too early in the day for deep thoughts.

    Considering Schroedinger died in 1961, I imagine his cat is dead too. Infuriating, aren't I?
