As I recall from high school geometry (which I failed, so caveat emptor) a point has no height, no width, no depth, no volume. It is a theoretical construct - a reference point needed so that geometry may be built upon it.
Or at least I think it's theoretical.
It occurred to me that the entire universe could be a single point, which our perception then unfolds around us like a camping tent - even though we ourselves are part of that single non-existent point. Maybe our concepts of height, width, distance and mass are all wrong. Maybe nothing has any of those attributes. Maybe they're all as theoretical as the point.
Or maybe a point, having no height, width or depth, is large enough to be everything.
Or maybe those are both same thing, and there is no difference between infinitely small and infinitely large.
Or maybe, to paraphrase Ike Turner, "bloggers be thinkin' too much."

so what's your point??
I have neither a point nor a non-point.
