Question: What is beyond the universe!?
I know there is no proven answer for this!. I'm looking for opinion!.

Okay, the universe is supposed to be never ending, but that makes no sense to me!.

If there IS an end, what is beyond it!? And beyond that!? Must it be never ending!?

I have been told that it loops, and that's how it doesn't end, but a loop is a circle!. A circle has boundaries!. What is beyond the circle!?

I have also been told that human minds cannot comprehend the eternal and the never ending!. This is because we are mentally bound to what we are familiar with, and on Earth, everything has a beginning and end!. I cannot accept this!. I want to comprehend!.

So, I thought hearing a few more viewpoints would help me out a bit!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
You are right!. human minds actually can comprehend the eternal!.
Indeed we are mentally bound to what we are familiar with!.!.!.!.but, it doesn't mean we are not able to comprehend the eternal, it only means that at the moment we can not comprehend yet!.
So you are right!. Go ahead!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Our universe could be never ending!. It could be a doughnut!. You just loop around and around and around!. Dimensions are crazy things!.

It could be that, to us, the universe is never ending because we just aren't able to escape it!. There might be things outside our universes loops and bends, but we will not be able to experience or even define it because we are stuck in the inescapable universe!. perhaps that is where heaven and hell are, if you believe in that!. Maybe that's why we cant go there or understand it!. It would be like finding Christmas presents in the closet!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well let me ask you
what is the very last digit in our number system!?

I can assure you It does not loop and it is not incomprehensible (for the most part)!.!.!. it just goes to infinity!.!.!. It is the same with the universe :/

Perhaps in a different form (maybe when we escape the confines of the physical world) we can experience some other reality, some other knowledge but right now this is all we can know!.!.!.

Some scientist speculate that space has this shape:
http://en!.wikipedia!.org/wiki/M%C3%B6bius!.!.!.
giving it a infinate quality, I agree, that space can have a shape, I just think its more complicated, It could be also a fact that universe is expanding at such huge rate that its impossible to tell reach the end of it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

well what lies beyond the universe is simply our endless imagination!.!.they say the universe has no form, yet it is continually expanding!.!.!.to say that the universe is infinite is to say that man's perception of the universe is also infinite!.!.!.we could only speculate and wonder what lies beyond our limited understading of the complex existence!.!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

My Physics teacher said that there is a black hole on outer space!.!. Thus, when we get in a black hole and go out alive (which is impossible because according to Science, there is great force, it may crush us into pieces), we'd be able to reach another universe!.!.

So, instead of spending so much time on finding out what, I took his answer and moved on with my life!.!. I mean, life is short, have fun! =)Www@QuestionHome@Com

i don't know what beyond the universe is but i know whatever it is it is not universe!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Our universe is one of many which developed from a Central Sun of Being!.

Oh!.!.when I'll reach its borders, I'll tell you what I see beyond them!.!.guess there's no other way to learn it, and all speculation are pointless!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

All the other universes; an infinite number of them containing an infinite amount of detail

well, if there really is an end to the universe, then beyond it should be!.!.!.!.i don't know!.!.!.empty space!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

It is not dooWww@QuestionHome@Com

We are able to understand things more complicated than our minds!. We may be unable to visualize them, though!.
The universe can be defined as the set of everything that exists or can exist!. This definition leaves nothing beyond the limits of the universe!. Anyway, there are no "limits" like "boundaries" for a universe defined logically, like that!.
A physical perception of what the universe is, like a big ball or a very long tape is contradictory!. If you consider a physical object as such, then there will always be something beyond it!.!.!. at least, a place from which to observe that object!. So the universe is not like that and it does not have physical boundaries!.
It is though by physicists, that our REGION of the universe may have the physical structure of a "bubble", a finite multidimensional shape closed to itself, leaving us unconnected from the vastness of the rest of the universe!. This is possible!. However, most recent observations indicate that, if we are indeed in a bubble, it has to be extremely large, to explain the flatness detected on the spacetime!. Beyond such bubble, everything can be expected, including other places like our planet or areas where even logic as we know it will collapse!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

there is no beyond!. the universe is itself time and space!. there can't be space beyond it!. there is no distance beyond it!. it is not stuff inside an empty space!. it is space!. beyond it there is nothing, not even empty space, and in fact not even nothingness because then that would mean there is something, nothingness, but there isn't!.

it's like before you were born you weren't aware for a long time of just darkness!. you just didn't exist!.


but the universe does have boundaries, but you can't go outside them, even if physically getting there wasn't a limitation!. because you are universe as much as anything else, and if you try to step 'outside' the boundary, then what you have done is merely stretched out the edge of the universe and made it grow!. and this is in fact happening all the time, the universe is constantly stretching, thinning out this way, and growing in size!.

but not inside something, not into something!. just growing!. it is the 3 dimensions of space, it cannot be inside that!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
