"Astronomers believe that the universe is 18 billion light years across. Suppose you kept going another 18 billion light years. What if there's nothing out there? Suppose you kept going another trillion times further. So far out you see nothing. Because the light from the universe would be fainter than the faintest star. Infinitely cold. Infinitely black. Sometimes, if I wake up, and it's dark, I get really scared. Like I'm out there. And I'm never coming back."
"Here . Hold on to this while you sleep. And if you wake up and you're scared, you'll say, Wait a minute. I m holding Erik's shoe. Why the hell would I be holding some smelly basketball shoe a trillion light years from the universe? I must be here on earth safe in my sleeping bag, and Erik must be close by."
