You do not really ask a question...
However, the idea that the universe is "round" is incorrect (to our current views of physics).
It is OR
- finite and closed with no boundaries, and could be imagined as the skin of a balloon. Just the skin, nothing else, not the inside, not the outside. That skin is full of small riddles (the quantum variations of space-time).
OR
- infinite and open, and is more difficult to imagine, but would look like the shape of a horse saddle...
The first is easier to comprehend (and visualise), so I stick with that one!

Sorry, Why is it scary that the earth COULD be round? Round as against what other shape? What does the word THAT refer to in the statement, "beyond that nothing"? What about the other stars, planets etc? It would be interesting also to know, what is beyond nothing, other than more of the same. You could compete with John Prescott with just a little more effort. Still, good game, good game and lots of fun.

No it is not scary. The Universe creates its own time and space. There is no 'beyond' that. Stop worrying about 'beyond' and concentrate on the here and now. The Universe can look after itself, quite literally. But can you?

Space is only as large as the matter that is in it. If there was no matter, as in the moment of the theoretical big bang, then the universe would be without dimension, or time. Both of these are a by-product of matter, which both creates the illusion of space but also distorts the fabric of space throught the effect of gravity. The theory is that if you were able to go in a straight line without deviation you would eventually return to your starting point.

Universe skill one be conscious inclusive of each thing... so if ur speaking abt the fringe of our general universe, the area remains contained in the universe... who defines the boundary of universe?? and previous the area there isn't any area and time meaning it in basic terms makes no experience speaking about something outdoors universe, because there isn't any such difficulty as outdoors universe.

the universe is a small part of something infinite in that i mean us and all the observable universe are all cram ed into someones light bulb or a atom on the end of a drop of water maybe smaller than an atom.

I have wondered about that but it doesn't scare me. The easiest answer is that there are other universes but then the question must be asked again...what are between universes? Is it an interdimensional thing? Can you define "nothing"?

Universe is not round,it can as well be eleptical or shapeless.There is no state of" nothingness":the entire universe is filled with plasma or unknown substancs.There is no vaccum as such.Do not be scared.You cannot fall out of Earth so long as gravity is there.
