You get on a boat.. you keep going until you reached the end of the universe, then...you observe. In other words, you look, and see. And what do you see? considerably beyond what You can observe. But to say "we're pretty sure that the universe extends considerably beyond what we can observe." Is nonsence. To get beyond what you can see, you simply keep moving forward. But you people seem to be limited by other peoples limitations. If you blow up a balloon, where is the edge? It's at the little part with the hole where you blew air into the ballon. But for some reason you people believe the balloon has no edge. I'm dumbfounded!
