Does the universe go on forever, with no beginning and no end, encompassing all that is or ever will be?

Question

If there is an end to the universe, will we find a big curtain, with the Wizard of Oz hiding behind it?

Answer 1

Good question but if I have the answer i'll be richer than Bill Gates

Answer 2

"planet earth" and the "life forms" that are here are subject to "TIME". Every life form has a timer on it that, times out, runs its life, then dies, if something outside of the timing doesn't end the life of the cells first. Therefore the universe is not subject to a beginning and an end. Earth has a beginning and probably an end. There could also be some other forms of life that are subject the "time thing", but not necessarily the same as ours. It could be in another dimension that we are not privy to seeing or knowing about, or it could be anywhere in between seeing or not seeing any of this. We are subject to beginnings and ends due to being on earth and the "big scheme" of things, but there is no beginning or end for the rest of the universe, so there is NO Forever either. This applies to whether God or whatever is the entity in charge or the layers of heirarchy in the universe. This all exists this way for a reason, not by chance.

hmmm. good question.
1. will the universe go on forever? yes. with or without humans, the universe will 'go on forever'. there are already indications and proof from astronomy that the universe is in fact expanding (see Stephen Hawking's books). the universe is not humanity's exclusive privilege.

2. if there is an end, will we find a big curtain with the Wizard of Oz finally revealed? tough question - but if i follow my logic from above that there is no end to te universe, then there must be no curtain even. but I will say, really don't know - Nobody has gotten out of life alive, bud.

ok can all and sundry coach God scientifically, i assume you may in basic terms coach something in case you have actual data. there are a number of things which could be coach scientifically. like how does your concept technique artwork, no you may still coach which you have a concept technique through fact no you may still see your ideas. the certainty to this query is does god exist. the anseer is definite, through fact how else do you coach how we got here to be, any opposite direction that somebody got here up with became into evolution, or the great bang concept. hmm the approach has no longer been shown. for this reason the call concept. the respond Does God exist is per faith., although if it is likewise per actuality interior the certainty that we had to come back from a writer, reason we cant take place with the help of accident be the main problematic species with the help of accident. So if there's a designor of the universe whom is it. Amd that's the place the bible suits in. that is God's way of disclosing himself to us. He does not choose us to exist. and he's exterior the perameters of guy. we are limited to particular regulations ie time, gravity and so on. So i understand that's an prolonged answer, however the respond is God is exterior the area of technology. He does although if supply us clues approximately his existence.

Answer 5

Maybe but not really. There is the steady state theory that says destruction and construction go on forever. There is the oscillation theory that says the universe will expand until it reaches a certain point and then contract, explode and do it all over. Another theory that says the universe will expand until it reaches a null state and there it will remain Then there is string theory that proposes eleven other dimensions. So as to what is and what will be, you might consider Doc Smith's theory of the "Cosmic All".

Answer 6

Others have mentioned this, but so will I. Time is only a tool created by humans, therefore it is inapplicable to the existence of the universe. Time only exists in that we (humans) perceive it. The concepts of beginning and ending refer to time and it is difficult to view the universe (or multiverses) as existing outside of temporal boundaries. Our mortality and ability to witness creation and destruction of physical objects throughout the galaxy lead us to believe that everything has a time limit. If suddenly no universe were to exist, what would be left? There would be a state of nonexistence. How can there be a state of nonexistence? Even in nonexistence the nonexistence will exist. Perhaps the universe is a state of nonexistence and we are the counterbalance?

Answer 7

Actually, I believe the universe is curved, that is one reason why it would seem to be endless. This why measuring the distance light travels from a star to earth is not accurate. The universe is no doubt a vast expanse, but not an infinite expanse. Because of this curvature, if one were to travel from earth in a straight path, he would eventually return to earth. A circle is basically infinite, there is no beginning and no end, I believe the same applies to our universe.
What lies beyond the universe, one can only speculate, maybe heaven?

Answer 8

I think that it does. Rather, I like to think so. The universe is so vast and all encompassing. However, I do think that the universe will expand and enclose ad nauseum forever.

Answer 9

That what you said.[1]
OR it will come to heat death[2]
In either case there will be no wizard of oz.

Alternatively if you are worried that our "wold" is false perception a la Descartes' evil demon[3], sure it is possible, but why worry about it, if we have no way to know?
