Are you good at abstact reasoning? Can you tell me what the space outside the Universe looks like?

Question

use your imagination...

Answer 1

There is no space outside the Universe. Our Universe is actually something called Space-Time. There is nothing beyond it - not even nothing actually, it just does not exist. As the Universe expands, it is not moving into somewhere, it is simply expanding and adding more distance between all that there already is.

That is what we know to be true, but there is a fanciful story about a ship that travels to the end of the Universe until they come to a great brick wall. The ship moves in all directions, but cannot get by the wall. Finally, they spot a small hole in the wall and have to get into their suits and space-walk to see through it. When they look through the small hole they see . . . nothing.

Here's an even spookier one for you. Space and Time are part of the same thing. We move both through space and time. Uncle Albert's idea and proven to be right. As you move through space, you subtract your speed through time. Meaning that the faster you move, the slower time is for you (relative to others not moving as fast).

Answer 2

The space outside the universe would be another universe or many others we cant figure out , the universe is infinite it is the space ,, the universe will continue forming .. if you talk about another space or another universe which we cant see by our telescopes , it has probably other measures ..there will always be :asteroids collisions and comets and galaxies and planets orbiting stars in the space ,, some solar systems are still forming others are old of billion of years and their planets have been formed a long time ago but still in collisions,, and the dark matter which is said to pull the universe to expand ,,the story of the space doesnt end.. You cant ask a human being to have abstract ideas about the space, it is beyong our brain capacity

Answer 3

It should look like nothing.
We are told that universe acquires space as it expands. This is possible only if there is space outside the universe. Further, it ought to be without any dimension, or else it would be defined as part of the universe.

So my reasoning tells me that indeed there ought to be a dimensionless space outside the universe even as all the dimensional space is defined to be the universe.

Answer 4

As far as I know (Big Bang theory) there is no space outside the Universe. The Universe is the totality of space that exists. Space extends at the same time as the Universe.

Answer 5

I read this really cool webpage buried inside NASA.GOV. It's a history of the Voyager probes. (there are 2 in space today) Sent into space in the late 70's (yeah I was just a kid) they are the most distant human made objects in space. Today, one of them is more than 100 times away from Earth than is the Sun. Something like 93 Million times 100. If you want an image of what - out there- looks like - search the link below.

Answer 6

It has been postulated that there may be other universes all touching like the bubbles in soap suds. Other theories say there is nothing at all. I can't say for sure, but my hope is for many more universes if only for the sheer fantasy of the idea. That's one of the things that makes us human, the ability to want to look outside ourselves, past our planet, beyond the galaxy, into the very eye of creation itself.

Answer 7

It doesn't "look" like anything, because there is no "space" outside of the universe. One can never get to the edge, because there is no edge, and no thing outside of the universe.

Answer 8

the universe does not exist in space.

rather, space exists inside the universe.
this is the change of thought that Einstein figured out. the universe encompasses everything material.

Answer 9

Our universe is vast, it's hardly to tell if it's even enclosed space.

But outside our universe may be millions of atoms, and we are simply a universe in an atom.

Or it may be pure whiteness, the void, nothingness.

Answer 10

I think there is either no 'outside' the universe, or there are other universes next to ours, in a dimension we can't see or comprehend - perhaps alternate universes or perhaps all moments in time.
