People used to think something like that existed back before they explored enough of the world to realize that it looped back around on itself if you went far enough. In fact, many cultures believed the ocean already existed before the earth and sky were created. It's the closest thing to infinite nothingness they could imagine.

No, no clearly all space walks are actually faked in a secret underwater studio. The coolant explanation is just an excuse.
