[QUOTE="Satyr, post: 11592189, member: 32040"] Imagine it like this (I am using somewhat of an omniscient perspective): there exists a room that is very, very large. There is a light hanging in the center of the room that illuminates only a portion of the room. Now, with an omniscient view, we know that, although only some of the room is lit, that there exists space far beyond the reach of that light. However, as a typical bystander within the light, we don't know what is beyond the reach of the light: more space or walls? Dr. Tyson was applying a similar description with our universe. It seems reasonable that there is space beyond 14 BLY, but we don't have the capacity to see beyond it (much like the light bulb in my analogy lacks the capacity to illuminate the room beyond its terminal means).
