I remember reading years ago in a book on astrnomy.?

Question

The closing lines of the book were " Quote Behond the furthest universes nothing exists not even empty space ! Over the years those few words --not even empty space have kept popping up to stir my imagination ! Can anyone comment on --not even empty space !

Answer 1

This "nothing" is what we perceive without the laws of physics. Our universe is limited by the knowledge we have about it. Recent theories (the "M" theory) suggest that endless universes exist, and sometimes they even collide one into other. Probably, out there, beyond the boundaries of 12 billions light years, others dimensions, other plan of existence exist.

Answer 2

yep, thats true. The book is right. THe universe creates space as it goes on. Its a strange concept to grasp. Here is a tid bit on the whole timespace thing:

imagine a huge trampolin, its the universe. Now, everything on this trampoline leaves a little depression, that is the gravitional field. So, as the universe expands, the trampoline is getting bigger and bigger, the trampoline gets created as the universe gets bigger. The universe doesnt through stuff onto an already existing trampoline.

Answer 3

It's like trying to imagine what was around that small point that we call the big bang. It's hard to imagine the big bang creating empty space, our brains like to think of it as the big bang exploded into empty space and flung stuff outward, but there was nothing for the big bang to explode into since it even created empty space. It's hard to grasp.

Answer 4

We are so small, compared to the dimensions we have defined for Universe and live so little, according to the time dimension we have invented, that even our imagination can reach the frontiers of the Universe, so, I think we will never adequately answer your question!

Answer 6

Oh, as soon as I get your question.

Nothing is an impossible concept to grasp. To understand it, first you must learn the concept of the amount of empty space in an atom. Then, move on to the objects around you, then to earth, the solar system, the surronding light years, our arm in the milky way, the milky way itself, our galaxy systems, and all the galaxies. It's huge. It's ample, awash, barn door, brimming, bulky, bull*, burly, capacious, chock-full, colossal, commodious, considerable, copious, crowded, enormous, extensive, fat, full, gigantic, heavy duty, heavyweight, hefty, huge, hulking, humungous, husky, immense, jumbo, king sized, mammoth, massive, monster, mungo, oversize, packed, ponderous, prodigious, roomy, sizable, spacious, strapping, stuffed, substantial, super colossal, thundering, vast, voluminous, whopper, and whopping. Its also Brobdingnagian, behemothic, big mother, bulky, colossal, cyclopean, elephantine, enormous, extensive, gargantuan, giant, gigantic, great, humongous, immeasurable, immense, jumbo, king-size, leviathan, lusty, magnificent, mammoth, massive, mighty, monster, monstrous, monumental, mountainous, mungo, outsize, oversize, planetary, prodigious, stupendous, super-colossal, titanic, towering, tremendous, vast, and walloping.

Answer 7

I try to imagine an infinite, absolute void, totally without any mass,energy,or spacetime.
