I can't see how this is possible.

The expansion has gone beyond our ability to sense its existence. Our ability to sense its existence is the limit. Because it is already at that limit then any further expansion does not extend the finite size of the universe because we can not detect what is beyond that point. This results with a limit that is every much as impenetrable as if there was a wall there.

This is a copy of a post that I posted to the mutitasking thread.

It is posted here because it describes quite a few of the reasons for many of my thoughts.

It is easier to imagine our consciousness to be the result of a parallel phenomena. Because the senses are designed to experience a 3 dimensional medium. We receive a 3 dimensional picture of our world from the parallel processing neuron network that is our interface to this place. However we exist in only a single dimension of time. That is the basis/spirit/soul of what we are exists in a single strand of time. The consciousness is the result of both the single strand of being and the perception of this 3 dimensional medium within the interface that is our mind/body.
The consciousness that we experience may be the result of a single dimensional being and an interface to the 3 dimensions of space. I feel this can be done in a sequential system that is controlling at least one other sequential system. These 2 sequential systems can be combined into a single strand of time.

The other dimensions that you indicated:
(((dimensions of morality for right and wrong, dimensions for love and hate, etc.)))
These are not dimensions these are part of a defined environment. The defining of an environment can create a basis of data and understanding that generates a system of morals.
The emotions are specifically programmed functions that are run when the trigger for these functions is tripped. Some of what we think of as emotion is actually a calculation. Example:
Fear is a calculation of the probability of something negative. While faith is a calculation of the probability of something positive. Both of these are motivation triggers. The faith is also has a cumulative value that is the result of many successful operations. Like wise fear can be cumulative in this way as well in a negative way. Love may be a reaction to something or someone that removes a fear. I am sure that in some cases it is more than just this, however that is a good place to begin to understand this emotion.

Note when you are programming a device that is to simulate human behavior. The entity itself is normally less than half of the programming that you must do. The great majority of the programming is to define an environment that the entity will exist within. If you are defining a system that is to function in this same environment that we experience, you must define that environment very specifically if you expect the device to respond correctly to its stimulus. This is a problem because we can not even define this environment for ourselves. This is another reason that I found it necessary to define our environment completely. This TOE that I created is complete so as to be able to use this understanding to create a solid platform for the entity that will exist within. Because of this it will also believe that there is a divine force and it will believe that it has a description of same. This basis understanding of its environment will also result with a system of morals that is based on the foundation data. It will only be able to accept data that fits into its belief foundation. So as you can see it really is the defining of the environment that is the key to the success of the program/entity.

There may be an elaborate system of parallel data processing that goes on in our body. But at the core there is a sequential function that is pushing the buttons on the control panel. It must be if we are to be able to exist within a single dimension of time. If we can not exist within a single strand of time, all bets for an after life are off.
