No. Could you?

*Sigh in relief* Of course not.

How would you get your mind around the idea of "an unbounded space?"

In mathematics? Or in physics?

In mathematics, I suppose the concept of infinity would do the job. Yet some physicists say that, practically speaking, the concept of infinity is "unconstructable"; i.e., not useful for physics. Either way, I think we're out of luck here.
