Yes
If we on earth can only ever see one side of the moon, what do 'moonies' see of the earth, obviously half of it at any one point but which part? It hurts my head trying to think of an answer.

I know what does hurt my head - what is the universe expanding into, if we keep flying in one direction where is the end of it.

Also, what created the universe? Big bang? So what created that? What created the atoms and particles. It does surely lend credence to there being. god, but then who created that god in the first place!!!
 
I know we know that the moon isn't made of cheese, but what if the universe is just a lump of mould, ever expanding, in a ruddy big zoom lens, and the planets just lumps of dirt, on which we are just microbes?

Humans, who want a bogyman to scare their credulous neighbours... :tumbleweed:
 
The moon rotates on its axis like earth but takes exactly the same time to rotate as to the go round the earth thus the same side always faces the earth. However, if you were on the side of the moon facing earth you would see all of the earth (apart from the poles) as you went round the earth in 28 days. If you were on the dark side of the moon, you would never see the earth,

Nice to see god uncapitalised! Then the question is WHICH god(s) or godess(es)!

Hopefully, hypothetical theology doesn't break the religious discussion rules.

Any. My simple brain thinks of the universe as a giant barn - what is outside, how was the barn created. What existed before the barn/universe was there - what did it replace? It's something so complex that maybe there was an almighty being that did create as thats about as likely as anything else but who created that god, and who created the one before that? Its like if the universe developed from one small grain of something, what created that grain!!

Many people just cannot get their heads around the concept of infinity. Even a Möbius Strip is beyond their understanding.

My own opinion is similar to yours: if the universe isn't infinite in time and space, what's outside it?
 
Another one - but bigger!
 
Nothing is outside it. In fact inside it is mostly nothing too.

Thats just wrong, as evidenced by Wallace and Gromit a grand day out.... I'll get my own coat... :exit:
 
The heat takes just as long as the (visible) light so when the Sun comes out from behind a cloud, so does the other radiation.
