I think that vastness you speak of is definitely there. We may have measured the speed of light accurately but I don't think we've even come close to measuring the speed of thought which may just exceed the speed of light and approach infinity.
Have you ever read Orson Scott Card's "Ender" quartet? He introduces some very thought provoking concepts in that series of science fiction novels. Ender's Game, Speaker for the Dead, Xenocide and Children of The Mind. I highly recommend them for anyone interested in exceeding the speed of light ... (watch for the ansible network).
