The world has a beginning in time, and is also limited in regard to space.

 It is therefore from the human point of view only that we can speak of space, extended objects, etc. The latter has, indeed, this advantage, that the representations of space and time do not come in their way when they wish to judge of objects, not as phenomena, but merely in their relation to the understanding. I cannot say, "The regress from a given perception to everything limited either in space or time, proceeds in infinitum," for this presupposes an infinite cosmical quantity; neither can I say, "It is finite," for an absolute limit is likewise impossible in experience. Every beginning is in time, and all limits to extension are in space.
