--- Quote from: Case on 29 Apr 2016, 05:20 ---Wrt. to US law - I'm trying to make it a habit to not assume anything about US legal standards, especially when it comes to state-, or communal legislation. It's too easy to project my central european cultural experience onto a culture that looks similar, but didn't develop in the same way.

I think that's an even bigger problem for foreigners from other English-speaking, ex-British countries. In some ways, the USA is so familiar, particularly because of the ubiquity of its pop-culture products, and then you stumble over something that reminds you just how very foreign it is.

That building on the edge of a waterfall looks more like a cathedral than a castle.

Based on the Big Bang, the universe is finite.

If you can call this forum "wild."

Well, that stands to reason, as my current living area is boring, and there is a lack of large water. And castles.

That isn't how it works. The Big Bang occurred everywhere in the universe, when all matter was condensed into a singularity and began expanding suddenly and quickly. It is conceivable that some area of the universe may be largely without matter in it (we've found such an area), but, as far as we can tell, the universe is infinite and expanding.
It is really hard to explain adequately and in a comprehensible way.

By "near you" I meant "in this galaxy" or maybe even "in our supercluster of galaxies".
