Subject: Re: OT: what does an expanding universe mean?
Can you? Not in an abstract way, but if closing your eyes and seriously trying to imagine that you cease to exist, that there is no more "me"?

Not really, no. I can imagine looking down after I die and seeing what 1poorlady and 1poorkid are up to; how they would be dealing with things without me. But I'm still an observer in that scenario. Intellectually, I can say "the same as before I was born", but I can't remember that (obviously...since I didn't exist), nor really imagine it.
