it really brings to perspective how incredibly shut down and narrow many peoples awareness is.

Yes, and the size of the universe is only an estimate. It could be much vaster than we can even now imagine.

And, what about parallel universes?

We are aware really of only our own but there are hints that ours is not the only universe.

Here is a mind boggler - think of a galaxy of universes. That is so vast that I can't really get my mind around it.

That's when it gets really weird.

Think about infinite time, infinite space, infinite dimensions, infinite densities, infinite possibilities.

And here is a mind blower to chew on. What if what we call the "laws of the universe" are nothing more than our collective agreements as sentients? What if the agreements in a different universe were different? Say, one where magic was an every day fact of life?
