If Space is infinite outwardly, is it also infinite inwardly?

Question

Do we resemble, or mirror, the Universe in macrocosmic and microcosmic dimensions?

Answer 1

I start with the assumption that the outside of the universe, what we call outer space, stretches to infinity in two directions, in largeness and in smallness. The inside of the universe is consciousness, mind, the subjective pole of the consciousness-body-world field, the field of Being. Given my initial assumption, it seems logical that this inner space is also infinite, and in two directions. That would mean that, yes, we resemble or mirror the Universe. The universe as a whole exists in a field, and everything that is part of it, including ourselves, exists in that field, so the parts resemble the whole.

(I think, incidentally, that it is a common philosophical mistake to confuse the microcosmic dimension, the infinity of smallness, with inner space. Answerer Nate seems to be doing this.)

Answer 2

assuming the universe is outwardly infinite is fine. maybe it is, maybe it isn't.

but we, inwardly or the universe? I don't think so and here's why: YES, we're constantly finding cells, then Atoms, then protons, then electrons, then mesons, quarks, etc...

but if you can get INFINITELY smaller and inward (a space that can always be cut in half, say) you then render the concept of "nothing" as meaningless. And 0 (zero) is just too important. you may always have "somethign" (like a photon or something like that) but you have to have the concept of nothing existing, in say, the space between the smallest particles!
just my opinion

Answer 3

I would like to believe so, especially after realising that the human mind can do things that are beyond the reach of science. In the end, we are all energy, which is also what the universe is made up of.

Answer 4

It has the potential of infinity outwardly, but it is never infinite. We have measured it. We know how many light years it is across in places, since it is not round and we know that because we have also measured its shape.
You cannot measure the infinite. You can measure what has infinite potential because it will never reach that potential, always having a momentarily fixed and finite mass.

Answer 5

YES
