Question:You know the funny thing about the universe is that m theory or superstring theory postulates there is 11 dimensions. Our universe is theorised by these superstring experts to float within the 11th dimension as a membrane intersecting other membrane universes. Its hard to explain thoroughly as the documentaries out there on the BBC do a better job at illustrating all this. But as an answer to your question, whether this universe ends or not is inconsequential because even this universe is still feeling the effects of others upon it. And is constantly being jostled about on the 11th dimension as other universes are created alongside it continually.

Moreover there are 4 constant forces in our universe, weak nuclear, strong nuclear, electromagnetism and gravity. Now to put it in layman terms it was found that all these forces should be relatively of similar magnitude but gravity for instance is very weak. Eg you have seen the effect a tiny magnet has on a peice of iron or what have you its fairly robust, yet gravity needs a body of many orders greater to have even half the pull of a little magnet. It might sound trivial to us, but scientifically speaking this is a sticking point to many scientists that gravity must be interacting or leaking out to another membrane (universe). But watch the video for a better understanding of what Im trying to emphasise to you.

Anyways if heaven exists and is eternal it definitely exists outside this physical universe or various other physical multiverses that surround ours. I think that whether energy cannot be destroyed or created is another fuzzy area, if our universe was created by the big bang then it would stand to reason that the energy used to bring it about came into existence at that very moment, be it by 2 colliding membranes..... or perhaps the energy always existed and was borrowed off by the explosion which bought our universe into play. But I admit its a very contentious subject indeed. As any scientist can tell you all the laws of physics break down when trying to calculate or simulate what properties the universe had at the instant of the Big Bang. This is why even Einstein had so much trouble with his last big personal project to bring about theory of everything to explain all the sciences in one unifying form.

If all matter is energy and energy cannot simply vanish, it merely dissipates, then energy is eternal whether the universe is or not :)

Sweetie let me just start with there is a heaven believe it or not. Second god know how to opperate everything the world can be small as a state and there will still be a heaven. I want you to know that you don't doubt god in no kinda of way so trust in him and he will make a way for you.. holla at me!!!!

Heaven is not a physical place, as the universe is. It lies in the metaphysical realm, which is eternal. It is the realm of energy which, according to physics, never dies. Energy just changes forms.
Edit: You could say that heaven exists in a dimension (metaphysical) parallel to the physical dimension. And energy does not require the physical realm in order to exist.

We live in 4 dimensions of space and time. There is evidence that the universe has many more dimensions unseen. We are material and finite, but the unseen realms are infinite.

"No ear has heard, no eye has seen, nor has it entered into the heart of man what God has prepared for those that love Him"

that's a non-sequitur - the existence of the material universe is unrelated to the abstract human mental concept of heaven.

however i applaud your search for ways out of the beguilment and mental prison subservience to incredulous religious dogma brings and further applaud your search for the answer being at a cosmological level.

God has made the world possible and surely can make the heaven in a way we can never understand say it in a met-physical way or whatever definition, imagine Earth doesn't exist and you live like a spirit among spirits and being told a perfectly engineered earth with all the orbit systems, the sun serving for a day light, and the moon and the stars to sparkle the night, humans form, perfectly engineered with hands to work and eat, the mouth and the teeth to chew and eat, the digestion systems and reproduction laws, attractions to the other sex and stuffs like that, it would seem impossible but done possible and its the same thing, everything is possible for God and has proved it. Just see how perfectly you are engineered and the timing of the summer and winter, how our foods are produced naturally and we having the right systems to consume them. We are excellent and He is perfect.
Cheers

You've got it wrong: sure the universe is not eternal, but existence is. Do you think souls will disappear when the universe evolves into a different form of shapes, or into a different univers?

the body is temporary so it dies as the universe will someday; the soul is ever existing so thr has to b a place whr it'll hve to exist eternally....
