Congrats man!

Chris, what have you done! If I would be close to the 1M mark, I'd expect to reach some large negative number, e.g. -2147483648. Or at least the counter to stop at 999 999. Now the poor guy must look out for 1 000 000 000 ;(

...but oh so very close!
May I be the first to congratulate OG on his achievement which should be reached within a couple of hours.

So, you may (or may not) know of Olber's Paradox - which essentially asks why the night sky isn't uniformly bright as, were it infinite, there would be nmo point in the sky with no star.
I was reading about this and came across this prose:
Quote: Were the succession of stars endless, then the background of the sky would present us an uniform luminosity, like that displayed by the Galaxy - since there could be absolutely no point, in all that background, at which would not exist a star. The only mode, therefore, in which, under such a state of affairs, we could comprehend the voids which our telescopes find in innumerable directions, would be by supposing the distance of the invisible background so immense that no ray from it has yet been able to reach us at all.
Bonus points to anyone who can guess who said it, without recourse to google searching the interwebs.

Carl Sagan?
Along with Antimatter and Dark Matter they've discovered the existence of Doesn't Matter which appears to have no effect on the universe whatsoever!

Nope.
Good guess - but way off the mark

Interesting theory. Perhaps light disperses enough that at such distances we can no longer see it?
Space must go on forever, right? If it ended, such as running into a wall in a room, what would be on the other side of the wall?
Fun to think about. I'm going to go start counting the stars.

Maybe. There is a theory that the universe is a giant four dimensional sphere, making the "end of the universe" idea much like the old "edge of the world" theory. If this is true, if a spaceship set out from earth, it would eventually circle around through the fourth dimension and come back to earth, just like Magellan sailed around earth in the third dimension.
Still, its only a hypothesis...

Politics is full of test subjects. I say we try it.
