so let me start out im currently 14 and have no school for the last year so if you can explain it to me like im a 5 year old it would be apreciated

im sure this has been asked plenty of times but couldnt find any specific post

so last night i was laying in bed and couldnt sleep and somehow got on the tought of whats is infinity and well ended at space but since or at least as far i know humans cant imagen infinity well i couldnt sleep for the next 2 hours i just kept thinking about it

so is there anyway to kinda comprehand the size of space because i dont know if its possible right now or that humans will ever be possible to do so

and well then i came up with a few other questions those being

can humans imagen literally nothing? because i cant imagen nothing because i always need some background like black or white or green or whatever

and then the 3rd question

well i believe in the fact that Extraterrestrial life exist

but what are the mathmathical chances of them existing (i probaly already know that anwser since it will probally just end on yes just yes) but then is it possible for us to calculate the chance of us actually finding them or they find us?

well i hope u can make some of this post because my english is probally terrible in this post since english isnt my native language
