I think what is potentially very interesting here is how human perceive vastness, and how humans first experienced vastness: Viewing the horizon such that it appears infinite, floating in a body of water so large that you can see only water in all directions as the horizon curves, staring into the deep blue sky, staring into the dark, star-filled sky.
Understanding how humans experience or understand the infinite (or perceived infinite) would be a fun research topic. Do any HNers have experience with such research or know of people involved or good reading about this?
