Space, as the pure form of external intuition, is limited as a condition a priori to external phenomena alone.

 Its relation to objects in space gives us the conception of connection (commercium) with bodies. It follows from what we have said that we are not justified in declaring the world to be infinite in space, or as regards past time. But if we consider this empirical datum generally, and inquire, without reference to its accordance with all our senses, whether there can be discovered in it aught which represents an object as a thing in itself (the raindrops of course are not such, for they are, as phenomena, empirical objects), the question of the relation of the representation to the object is transcendental; and not only are the raindrops mere phenomena, but even their circular form, nay, the space itself through which they fall, is nothing in itself, but both are mere modifications or fundamental dispositions of our sensuous intuition, whilst the transcendental object remains for us utterly unknown. It follows that this must hold good of all things that are in the different parts of space at the same time, however similar and equal one may be to another. Of this we find a striking example in the cognitions of space and its relations, which form the foundation of pure mathematics. The divisibility of a body rests upon the divisibility of space, which is the condition of the possibility of the body as an extended whole. 4. Space is represented as an infinite given quantity. You can solve your overweight problem forever by following the BIBLE DIET.
