    The Edge of an Infinite Universe

    PBS Member Stations rely on viewers like you. To support your local station, go to: http://to.pbs.org/DonateSPACE ↓ More info below ↓ Have you ever asked “what is beyond the edge of the universe?” And have you ever been told that an infinite universe that has no edge? You were told wrong. In a sense. We can define a boundary to an infinite universe, at least mathematically. And it turns out that boundary may be as real or even more real than the universe it contains.

Hosted by Matt O'Dowd Written by Matt O'Dowd Graphics by Aaron Halevy Directing by Andrew Kornhaber Our universe may be infinite. In order to wrap our puny human minds around such a notion we like to come up with boundaries. For example we have the “observable universe” – that patch that we can see, and beyond which light has not yet had time to reach us. It’s boundary is called the particle horizon. Beyond it there exists at a minimum of thousands and possibly infinitely more regions just as large. Our observable universe is like a tiny patch of land in a vast plain. We define its horizon like we might build a little picket fence around our little patch – meaningless from the point of view of the plain, but it makes our patch feel more homey and us less crushingly insignificant.

    The Footsteps at the Pfister | Real Ghost Stories

    They came to Milwaukee for a wedding, not a ghost hunt, and neither of them knew the Pfister Hotel had a haunted reputation. But two nights in a row, strange footsteps moved through their room while they slept. Each assumed the other had gotten out of bed—until Sunday morning, when they discovered they had both heard the same thing. Then a clutch left on the desk somehow ended up across the room. It wasn’t until checkout that someone mentioned the hotel’s paranormal history. A quick search revealed stories eerily similar to their own, including guests who claimed to hear unexplained footsteps and find belongings moved. So who—or what—had been walking around their room? #RealGhostStoriesOnline #PfisterHotel #HauntedHotel #MilwaukeeGhosts #GhostStories #ParanormalExperience #UnexplainedFootsteps #HauntedWisconsin #TrueGhostStories #HotelHaunting Love real ghost stories?

    One Last Visit Between Sisters | After Midnight

    They had always been close, even after adulthood put several states between them. Then, one night, she woke to the unmistakable sound of her sister saying her name. When she opened her eyes, her sister was standing in the bedroom doorway. She looked completely normal. She didn’t appear frightened, injured, or distressed. She simply stood there for a few seconds before disappearing. Convinced she had experienced an unusually vivid dream, she checked the time and went back to sleep. The next morning, several missed calls were waiting on her phone. Only later would she discover just how closely her strange 2:17 a.m. encounter lined up with the final moments of her sister’s life. #GhostStories #Paranormal #SpiritVisitation #AfterDeathCommunication #FinalGoodbye #SignsFromBeyond #ParanormalEncounter #Afterlife #Unexplained Love real ghost stories?
