Every time I see these wonderful pictures I wonder if the occupants of planets (or other structures) in this region look out across a vast horizon of amassed material and wonder if those distant 'holes' or 'gaps' in their view lead to something more .. some wider 'universe' of large space .. and what would their incredulity be once their explorers make it to the end of the 'large mass' (if ever) and see the great, giant hole into which we are all born. They wouldn't need rockets - they'd need incredibly long-lasting wheel-based devices, just to see what is beyond their world.
Like, do fish ever see the air above their world and wonder if there is anything more .. its just mind-boggling to think about.
If I were of a species born on one of these Pillars, I wonder if I would see the stars and all the emptiness, eventually, as anything other than an extreme abhorrence...
