My journey will be finished, as I reach the valley. There are persons that go further. This is called speleology - investigation of caves. Jules Verne wrote "Le voyage au centre de la terre". The centre of the earth is the ultimate point. The lowest level on earth, but there are other bodies in our universe. like "black holes". They have no bottom, as I understand it. According to theory of realtivity there is an infinite way down. Physics demands observation and measurement. One metre is defined as the distance light in vacuum travels in 3,3356409519815 nanoseconds. In a very strong gravitational field, and a state far from vacuum, it will be tricky to measure, but my guess is : there is no bottom in a black hole. The opposite question, the size of the physical universe, has been answered with 'cosmos is finite'. This is an interesting paradox. 'Down' is infinite, but 'up' is finite. Of course this is due to the rigid point of view, that physics has. In the olde days, metrological observation was not necessary. Your feeling, revelations and the text of older scriptures, were the reality. Since individuals differ from each other, there were many realities. Few had accepted the dull world of metrology . Remember that the great Newton, when playing with his mathematical symbols, believed he was investigating God's thoughts. God is greater than that, we gradually discover. Why should he play dice? Nevertheless Newtons achievments are valuable for helping us understand some phenomena, like gravity. I can calculate how fast I will fall, if I lose my grip. This is an obstacle. I have to concentrate. Hope I see you tomorrow.
