December 9, 200619 yr the question is this: is there and 'end' or 'edge' to the universe? or does it keep going forever? im not too sure myself, but i believe in the expanding universe theory - friedmann (expanding) universe what i imagine is that matter (stars, galaxies, etc) is expanding, in line with this theory, but the space they are expanding into is infinite. tell us what you think and your ideas.
December 9, 200619 yr From what i've read im pretty sure theres a tangible edge to the universe, but whats beyond that I have nooo clue Gamertag: King Arizona
December 9, 200619 yr Author just say there is an edge.. if whats beyond that is empty space... its volume and still part of the universe. if whats beyond that is nothing but a solid 'wall,' its matter and still part of the universe. one things for sure.. if there were and edge, and the universe, from that point foreward, no longer existed, the edge would be something we dont yet scientifically understand.
December 9, 200619 yr The Universe contains over 100 billion galaxies, Every hour the Universe expands by a billion miles in all directions. "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel AdamsMy new site. [bETA]
December 9, 200619 yr Our galaxy is 100 000 light-years, it's astounding to think of something so large that it takes light itself 100 000 years to travel from one end to the next. Amazingly, our galaxy is one of the smaller ones. So, does the universe go on forever? Then again, what's forever? If the universe expands, what space does it expand into? Or, what's beyond the universe's edge? Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-I took the one less traveled by,And that has made all the difference.

December 9, 200619 yr Yea, I think I read that the accepted size of the Universe is currently 78 billion light years accross...And growing, some think. The popularity of any given religion today depends on the victories of the wars they fought in the past. - Me!
December 9, 200619 yr We can't even see everything in the universe so why worry about something so silly as an edge.
December 9, 200619 yr We can't even see everything in the universe so why worry about something so silly as an edge. Because some of us, unlike you, have imaginations and look for more in life than physics equations.
December 9, 200619 yr because humans are curious "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace.

December 9, 200619 yr We can't even see everything in the universe so why worry about something so silly as an edge. Because some of us, unlike you, have imaginations and look for more in life than physics equations. What's wrong with being practical? I would rather spend my life doing achievable things and know I can fulfil them rather then wishing what could be; why can't I question its value? I think Earth and its beauty is vivid enough without having to introduce more then what there is. If I was all about physics equations, then I would give you some speculative theory then the truth; Someone's being a bit grumpy. For the sake of the thread, there probably is no hard edge, whatever that means.
December 9, 200619 yr Lol ever think of questions that make your head go blank? :lol: like thinking about if their was nothing in the whole universe, nothing. But then you think "then what is their thats the whole world its just.." * Brain shutdown commencing * :P or if their actually was a hard edge (their wouldn't be) imagine going to the end and it was just black cardboard boxes and you knock it down and you see some guy on the computer about to 'run' earthquake and he tells you that no one could get here then he puts you back where you were and deletes your memory of it. :mrgreen: "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace.

But, there are other galaxies that are far larger. Of course, our galaxy could always get eaten up from another larger galaxy.

December 9, 200619 yr What if the Universe ends like a galaxy? And is really like a galaxy in a bigger universe? What if there is a giant unicorn which waves its horn around. When it does, nuggets of universes appear and we are only one of them .
December 9, 200619 yr There is probably two questions in life, which humans have trying to answer since the anyone can remember 1. What is the meaning of life? 2. How big is the universe I think that there must be a twist to it, it maybe like a teleport r something, transporting you back to the other side or something. Or, we may be in a game or something, and the reason for why the universe keeps expanding, is because the makers of the game are trying to make it harder for us to get out.

That's fine for you, but why call people silly for not being pragmatic every second of their life?
December 9, 200619 yr Whether or not there's an edge to the universe, and whether or not it is still expanding, we'll probably be obliterated (by nuclear war or the sun's explosion) before we ever get there. I find it interesting that there are people out there who believe in the multiverse (that there is more than one universe all stacked together). I thought the whole point of the universe was that it encapsulates everything. How can there be multiple universes? Wouldn't they just be part of one universe?

December 10, 200619 yr dude, its from an action movie but if thats what u believe then ok :-w . i think that our universe is surrounded by antimatter which is being annhilated when it comes in contact with real matter and is pushed back. eventually, this antimatter will overpower the real matter, hence the big crunch theory
