can anything be removed from our universe?

Question

or is it only changed

Answer 1

Good question! We don't know where all the energy goes that enters a black hole.

Answer 2

We only have our senses to observe and record, and within that limitation, all we can do is see things change. We see the red shift of light changing when viewing the galaxies, indicating an expanding universe. We see elements change from one form to another. We have never witnessed creation or something changing into nothingness. The black holes are really not 'nothingness' since something is there, the gravity is so strong that light can't escape, but common sense tells us that 'something' is there. If something manifests itself to one of our senses, then we can say it exists, beyond that, its just fanciful thinking.

Answer 3

Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust


Things only change form, they cannot be removed.

Answer 4

Yes, but only for a short while ,(reality) can be removed but everyone knows it will return.

Answer 5

I saw a lorry with the words ' World Movers' on the side - perhaps they would know dear?

Answer 6

If not, I hope the universe never gets a nasty case of appendicitis.

Answer 7

Tell me what or who you want removed and i'll give you a price.

Answer 8

Not with the energies we have access to. Perhaps black holes can do it? We don't know

Answer 9

Scientific fact: Matter can neither be created nor destroyed. So, no.

Answer 10

Changed....unless you know where things go in a black hole.
