《暗夜呢喃》里超级宇宙和米戈深渊那里的原文都是已知宇宙,即爱因斯坦时空连续体:
讲述了【我们所知道的宇宙时空】在由无数宇宙连接组成的无尽链条中的可怕位置,讲述了由这一链条的每个环节组成的那个拥有弧度、棱角、物质与类物质电磁集合体的超级宇宙。
the juxtaposition of dimensions, and the frightful position of 【our known cosmos】 of space and time in the unending chain of linked cosmos-atoms which makes up the immediate super-cosmos of curves, angles, and material and semi-material electronic organisation.
【我们以为等价于宇宙的时空球体】在他们所认知的无垠永恒中只是一颗原子。
【The space-time globule which we recognise as the totality of all cosmic entity】 is only an atom in the genuine infinity which is theirs. And as much of this infinity as any human brain can hold is eventually to be opened up to me, as it has been to not more than fifty other men since the human race has existed.

但是,这颗人口稠密的行星只不过是那个恐怖的星际种族所占据的一个前哨罢了,它们真正的、最初的起源肯定在更加遥远的地方,甚至远在爱因斯坦所宣称的时空连续统一体之外,或是远在人类所知晓的最广博的宇宙边界之外。
不仅仅是去犹格斯,而且还会在那之外——远离银河系之外,甚至可能是超越宇宙最后一道弧形边缘之外的地方。
but this was itself merely the populous outpost of a frightful interstellar race whose ultimate source must lie far outside even 【the Einsteinian space-time continuum or greatest known cosmos】.
not only to Yuggoth, but beyond that—away outside the galaxy and possibly beyond the last curved rim of space.
而爱因斯坦时空连续体在洛氏眼里就是有限大:
