    Imagine there being just no stars behind you. Just nothing. On one side you see the universe, like a wall of stars and lights, and next to that just pure nothingness. The void.

      Or the quantum foam, or both, it’d be wild to be able to stare out into that sorta of black, in a metal way.

      You could never get to the void because space-time has already accelerated the edge of all matter away from you faster than the speed of light.

        Not “the void,” no, but “a void,” yes. As the universe continues to expand faster than the speed of light, the stars outside of our galaxy will slowly disappear from view. There will come a time when the night sky is just the milky way and darkness elsewhere. I don’t know if anything will still be around to observe it, though.
