Is there anything beyond space?

[Wombat]

Can space go on forever or is there something that circles it. and if there is then what holds that. And when does it stop?

I often ponder that same question when I'm waiting at a red light...I get frustrated thinking about it!

 

[Pimp C]

I have often wondered that too. I can't really comprehend either senerio. It seems like everything has to eventually come to an end.

Or you know, the "fact" that space is constantly expanding. What the hell is it expanding into?

man, didnt you see "men in black", at the end, there were two aliens playing marbles, one of the marbles was earth.

that should answer all your questions.

actually they were galaxies.



i have no idea. i guess we'll have to wait for science to figure it out.

i assume its just nothingness beyond nothingness beyond the borders. so the entire universe, technically, doesn't exist as there is no 2nd object to compare it to. it is smaller than the head of a pin, larger than infinity, etc.

You can't look at it as just space, it is "Time-Space" which is something really different than just space. You have time thrown in there for one thing and it just keeps on going...tic-toc. However to answer your question yes there is and "Edge" or "end" however you do or don't want to look at it. It's Called Millaways..It's THE RESTAURANT AT THE END OF THE UNIVERSE! There's also BIG BOB's BIG BANG CAFE if you want to catch something after the end of the universe.

uh.....more space??

I believe that space is infinite and not expanding. When we talk about the universe, that is, planets, stars, galaxies, etc, however, I believe that is expanding.

Galaxies are moving farther and farther apart, thus "expanding" the universe. What is the universe expanding into? The infinite empty space.

I don't see how it could make sense otherwise.

hmmmm, i think our laws of pghysics only apply to the 'universe' and that reigion expands, but outside of it its a whole new ballgame
