As stated before, Cyberspace is limited to the computer networks that contain it. As more computers and networks are added, yes cyberspace will expand. Cyberspace will end when the computer networks end (the end of the world?)

The universe also has ever expanding limits, however larger than those of cyberspace. The universe will continue to expand (maybe forever).

Outer space is not limited to the universe. It has no boundaries.

Actually current theories are that space is finite but unbounded. You could travel infinitely in any direction and never come to the edge of space - but because of the curvature of space, you would probably end up back where you started.

This is hard for our minds to comprehend because the curvature is in a 4th dimension (spatial dimension, not time, which everyone thinks of as "the" fourth dimension). The best way to imagine this is to remove a dimension. If you were a flat, two-dimensional being, moving on the surface of the earth, you would be shocked that you could move forever in a straight line and never come to the end of the earth, but you would eventually come back to where you started.

Another thought experiment that helps us understand that space doesn't have an 'end' (which a finite 3-D space would have to have) is - "What's at the end?" A wall? What's beyond the wall? More space! Actually, without curvature, our minds can no more comprehend a finite space than they can comprehend infinity.

the expansion of the cosmos obeys one of the three different possible models:
1.finally the gravity will take over the expansion and the cosmos will shrinkage and destroy. and then an other big bang.
2.the expansion will take over the gravity and it will continue to expansion for ever.
3.the expansion and the gravity will neutralize each other and the cosmos will expand very slowly without acceleration.
which will happen, depends on the amount of the mass in the cosmos and the amount of the force which cause the expansion of the cosmos.
anyway, the cosmos is limited, but the space(which the cosmos is expanding into it) is infinite.

properly it ought to't be endless and enhance. that is both one or the different. in spite of the undeniable fact that, it must be finite with no boundary, clone of the floor of the Earth is finite in area, yet it does no longer have a boundary. If the Earth become "pumped up" to enhance that is floor area, there ought to nevertheless be no increasing boundary. in spite of the undeniable fact that, we are conscious that each and every aspect on that is floor must be transferring perpendicular to the floor itself. The circulate must be in a length that isn't area of the floor. we would not might want to pay interest to this length to maintain in mind that the floor area become increasing. An increasing universe must be visualised interior an same way. the three dimensional volume of area expands, yet at each and every aspect it is increasing right into a route perpendicular to the quantity. Ie into yet another length that we favor no longer note of even in spite of the undeniable fact that we are conscious that the quantity is increasing purely to make issues interesting, time ought to also partake of this enlargement. As a touch workout, attempt to imagine a 4 dimensional volume increasing right into a fifth length. you'll then take exhilaration in the priority of the problem. As a contact, with increasing area we see a upward thrust in distance between factors as time advances. With increasing time we ought to anticipate an prolonged period between activities with distance. seems clone of a red shift would not it? Scientists are actively searching for information of this added length.

Whether the Universe is opne or closed is still not determined. The internet is determined by how much memory is available, so it is finite but expanding at the rate of the blog factor.

We dont know that outer space is infinite. It may be, it may not. Cyber space is not infinite, it is an interpretaion on info on discs.

If you set off in a rocket going up in space,so lets say you suddenly come to a metal ceiling,what is beyond that solid metal.NO it must be infinite.the only other thing i think could be that you would eventually end up back were you started.

Infinite means the universe goes on for ever. It never ends. Our universe has no boundary or edge.

Space is not infinite, although it is unbounded. And cyberspace is not analogous, being a different sort of space altogether.

Are computers infinite?No.Now,cyber space is limited to computers hence it is NOT infinite.
