We're just mere humans. It sounds insulting, but that's it, isn't it?
What if what we see, interpret, analyze, and conclude is all illusion, regardless of the mathematical accuracy that we perceive as being accurate.
The size of the cosmo is just too much...
The difference between a spider and a human is half big. The human in comparison to a state is huge. The state in comparison to the earth is huge. The earth in comparison to jupiter. Jupiter to the Solar System. The Solar System to the Milky Way. The Milky Way to the Local Group. The Local Group to the Virgo Supercluster. The Virgo Supercluster to the Cosmos itself and at least 9 other superclusters.
I can't comprehend it, and because I can't, just leads me to believe that it'll never be disovered, or it's just illusion.
What do you think?

Also, do you think it's possible for technology to be harnessed that allows us to exit the Milky Way, or even the Local Group?

Mike, it's not stressing, it's mere thought. It's interesting, in my opinion.

Good questions. We as humans perceive what is outside of our bodies as reality. Our perception of reality goes on inside our minds( wherever THAT is).A wall is only a wall when two or more people agree its a wall.So in a sence,reality is just agreement.It all COULD very well be an illusion,a game some omnipower is playing with us.Quantum string theorists
have found that reality IS indeed very much illusion.Electrons pop in and out of existence all the time.Exiting the Galaxy? Sure, it took just 66 years to go from the first powered flight,to the moon,As soon as you put limits on your imagination,you put limits on your reality.
Keep your mind open.Just because you can't grasp it doesn't mean you should shut down.Your Question tells me you are a very deep thinker.My favorite quote is this: "The universe is not only stranger than we imagined,its stranger than we CAN imagine".

The concept of Maya differs from what I believe as a Christian but I must say that your illustration is an outstanding one. The Y/A world is very analogous to the Hindu teaching of Maya. I will certainly remember it for times when someone asks for an explanation of how Hindus can believe in Maya and yet act as though the world were not an illusion.

Actually everythink you see around you is subatomical particles, that are like pixcells on Monitor , so pretty much we are like a game we are spiritually somewhere els, but we are stuck in a game where we are controling the body through our spiritual signals as a joystic would. just play some kind of a game and you will realize what i am talking about... Everybody on this planet is programed to a different frequency , basically everybody is playing different games at once,, Get it.. the rest i can not say, There is Time for every think as we are 4th dimensional beings experiencing 3rd dimensional reality. through our magnetic electrical brain frequencies....... :)

well my friend if you think about where we came from you would think we can go further than the universe has limited us to. we were once animals who simply ran around, we then discovered fire and thought caves were more comfortable and safer than trees. i doubt that any of our ancestors ever thought we would ever be able to fly and even go to the moon. and yet they believed that life was worth surviving and getting through. we wont reach it but our great grand children will do without a doubt. i have no idea what our purpose is in this universe but i do believe its a good purpose seeing how lifeless everything else is besides life itself. illusion is what we get when we are on a wrong path. when we walk the right path the answers are around us.

Yup. It's -real- big out there. But if it -is- an illusion then it's one helluva good one.
As for the technology......... Right now it doesn't look too good. But maybe there is a way around the lightspeed barrier that we'll discover in another hundred years or so.

No
Getting out?
Not while you're alive.
Now you can change over to stressing over something you can do something about.

It is no more an illusion as we think.
