> What is really the meaning of life? Why are we here?

It may seem like I'm getting off the subject for a little bit, but trust me, it will lead back to it.

I've always wondered exactly how big is the universe. I mean, our galaxy in just one of possibly millions out there. There is a great chance that there are galaxies out there that we don't know of. But exactly how big is the universe? And if the universe is a specific amount of light years big, there must be boundries. Maybe there aren't boundaries and the universe is like a sphere. But saying that maybe there are boundaries, what is past the boundries of the universe? But wouldn't that mean that it's not a true boundry? To me, it's mind boggling. The idea about the size of the universe is beyond my brain's thinking capacity.

But to get back to where I was actually heading...life. Those two questions at the beginning of this post lead me to think about life and its existance. Now just saying that there is no such thing as other life forms out in the universe besides us on Earth (even if there are people who do believe, I'm just saying theoretically that there isn't), why would the universe run without life forms? Does it possibly run on a different time system that one that exists on earth. Also, what would it be like if there was no "universe"?

Personally, it's all just so mind-boggling. What are some of your opinions on these ideas/questions?
