I have yet another a vague thought, 'The universe will gain an extreme (maximum) quantity of mass if it (the universe) attain a perfect state of rest' That means there will be no motion i.e no revolution/rotation of any planet, star, galaxies etc and even light will have a zero speed. Can universe gain mass by full or partial state of absolute rest?

It seems that mass diminishes with an increase in velocity of an object. Objects at the velocity of light may have zero mass becose it is not possible to measure their mass at that terrific speed. When all energy is converted into mass than mass will definitely increase. The universe seems to losing its total mass when it is expandind and tends to gain it when it contracts its volume. Means energy in all its forms, creates nass, when put to smallest proportions. How does it fit in the prevailing theories, is yet to be seen.

The universe is not (by theorists) containerized. What is expanding is the distance between the pieces of matter within the universe. We have not seen the beginning or the end of the universe, all data is calculated on the light received, the visual examination of the matter that appears to be extremely distant.
I have not heard that there is more mass coming into the universe, only that in order for all of those galaxies to continue expanding, there has to be more matter than is visible. Thus, the knowledge and calculation of dark matter. This is not new matter or any increasing mass within the universe, rather, it is the discovery of a type of matter that makes the current calculations 'fit' with the observed expansion.
The universe's contents are expanding into... well, expanding into more universe. What is beyond what we can see, your guess is as good as mine. The calculations for an 'end' of the universe is 10s of billions of years away. I don't think I'll have to worry.

The universe is expanding in volume. Astronomers have observed that galaxies are generally moving farther apart.
Current theory holds that the universe is contained. Because of the first law of thermodynamics (energy cannot be created or destroyed), all the energy that existed at the creation of this universe (whatever you believe happened) is still here and will be here at the end of this universe. That energy may convert between energy and mass according to E=mc^2 and it will become more disordered over time (entropy).

Actually approaching the speed of light will increase mass. But the total amount of mass/energy in the universe is fixed. What is not fixed is space and time the Universe as afar as the latest finds go is expanding and does not seem to be enough gravity to hold the thing together.

Its Expanding in Volume acc to sceintists due to the Big bang
and mass is not also constant
u cant say
a lots of mass converts readily in Energy in stars
- Scientists says that
but perhaps energy is also converting into mass somewhere
who knows
and when we will come to know
u will be here to ask
and i will there to answer
my freind!

The univers neither incresing in volume nor increasing in mass
The universe mass is constant due to the principal of mass preservation .
and decreasing in volume due to the gravity effect , and this occurs from the time of great explosion whitch caused the universe creation

Both- at the speed of light 186,000 mile per second.
Thats fast!
As it expands it replaces what it pushes out or replaces.
Like pouring water into a baloon.
About 6 trillion miles a year. whoa baby. Mind boogling.

none, if you believe in the theroy of eveloution, them mabye you might find something, but being a christia and beliving in intelligent design, there is no need for the universe to be expanding, if it was we wold have mor singals in the climate of the earth, and the flow of gravity will change due to the new mass, if that's not changing, the universe is not.

Doesn't really matter. None of us will live long enough to appreciate any difference. A human life-span is a very insignificant thing in terms of the cosmos.
