"...mines is ...how far is outer space & when does it end...if it does?
That's a head- melter and would be mine too"
Agreed!
I'm big on astronomy, even though my telescope isn't the greatest. It puts things into perspective how small we are, how nothing we do matters in the grand scheme of things. Humans and all our endeavours will be a tiny blip on the timescale of the universe. I think it could be round. Like the earth, go in what you think is a straight line and end up behind where you started. Surely it can't come to a dead end, or is it just ever further expanding....so many questions!!
That and I like looking at the moon 
Also managed to get photos of Jupiter and a few of its moons using an iPhone held steady over the telescope lense  |

Perhaps our universe exists inside a left luggage locker like in Men in Black  |

I want to know what the atoms in my body have previously been part of. Part of another person? a blade of grass? dinosaur poo? Ideally I want science to discover that atoms contain 'memory' and for there to be a way of extracting and deciphering the information. That would be awesome, in the original sense of the word.

"...mines is ...how far is outer space & when does it end...if it does? "
Simple, It doesn't end. Cosmologists have debated wether it just revolves on itself, but we won't find out in our lifetime probably |

But does it though, ????? Where the proof or evidence ...it's all speculation based on theories... |

Incorrect.
Answer is: we don't yet know. We can't see if there is an edge as the light is rushing away from us, and when people talk about the 'edge' of the universe what they should correctly talk about it the edge of the *observable* universe.
Short answer: We do not know if the universe is infinite or not.
The is 'doughnut' shaped universe is one of a number of competing hypotheses (multiverse, branes, the universe as a hologram, that it is explained if you treat matter as waves rather than particles...), even if it is favoured by Homer Simpson.
"Mmmmmm... doughnuts..."

Not quite right...the light is not rushing away from us...we are looking into the past and can only see as far as the point where light has had time to travel to us. And expansion of the universe creates a horizon beyond which it will never be possible to see. |

No we don't...I had to explain this to my son about five years ago when he was going through an 'evolution' phase. His current phase is 80's music, he's a strange 10 year old |

He sounds pretty awesome, nothing at all wrong with 80s music. High fives in his general direction. |

"How did the $64,000,000 question become a $64,000 one? 
It comes from the name of a game show that was aired in the US a few decades ago, I think."
I know that  Just wondered how it devalued so much  |

What's the point of The Kadashians? (Sorry for the horrible spelling, I've even stumped my spell check). Kim with her internet breaking arse, the one who generated the whole lip thing and the other one who was dating a crackhead. Madness. What the fuck do they actually do? |

"Why is orange jam called marmalade ? "
Something to do with the Portuguese for quince, 'marmelos'. 'Apparently' marmalade was originally made with quinces. |

You forget the father who famously stood by OJ Simpson, that upstanding, law abiding pillar of the community!! |

the science questions are great, theories often backed up my mathematics/observation...
we wouldnt have got this far today without the physicists,biologists,inventors etc..
people take that for granted.
My 64k question:
plants mimicking insects...
evolution is the 'answer'(when you read about it) but somehow I have to fathom, that there is some kind of observation that must have been made.Yeah sure they might mimic the feel of the insect..but the colours?
I posted about an article about organisms being quantum machines(via BBC science), it goes on about the photosynthesis etc,being a quantum process.
My theory is, everything we class as alive has a consciousness that could be vastly different to what we perceive..and I'd say it could be highly likely we are pond scum to something else. |

As they say, "Spend too long arguing with an idiot and the causal observer won't be able to tell who's who." |
