where does the universe end?

Answer 1

no end
infinite

Answer 2

Asking this can only lead to trouble. I asked my astronomy prof. this question once and he said "I don't know...nobody knows". He has a Ph.d in Astronomy so that should help you a little. Maybe not so much on the answer, but the intensity of such an answer that this question calls for. I want to boggle your mind right now. Think of this: If the universe did have an end, what would this end look like? Would it be some kind of wall? And if so, what is on the other side of this wall? What is this wall made of? I doubt the ending is a wall though. Some people say the universe never ends and that it is infinite. The only thing I can think of that is infinite is ....... well nothing really if you actually think about it. You can't really say that the number system is something else that is infinite because wouldn't distance to the end of the universe be a number too. Infinity has to do with measurement or numbers. If the universe is never ending and has always been, then I just wonder if we are dreaming or if we are really even here. Think about it. Your mind is infinite and that is about it. Your mind made up the number system and made up this idea of infinity. Maybe we are all just living some kind of mental life. I should have done less lsd when I was a teen.

Answer 3

The universe is expanding so fast that there is no measurable end, and it will continue to do so until the internal clock ticks down to 369 x 36 = .000 time left o'clock. Then the whole thing explodes and starts out of chaotic nothingness and reforms all over again. The "Cosmic Circle" of creation has done this many times and each new beginning creates a "larger" smallest thing in creation out of all the matter and energy it formerly contained. Every creative epoch in the physical world is absolutely finite with a beginning and an end, and nobody but the keeper of the gates of infinity knows exactly when that moment is, or at what point of expansion the universe comes to an end. But that's just the way I see things, hey, I could be wrong? Nah...

Answer 4

We have an event horizon, beyond which we cannot see, that is about 40 billion lightyears away (even thought the Universe is only 13.7 billion years old). So, in some sense, that is where the Universe ends for us.

Beyond that, however, is certainly some more stuff that looks just like our Universe. Way beyond that may be a good deal more stuff that has different physics. The Universe may be infinite.

Answer 5

Most scientists believe the universe does not have an "end" much like the earth does not have an "edge". They believe the universe is a four-dimentional sphere; a soccer ball is a three-dimentional sphere, a circe could be calle a 'two-dimentional sphere'. The human mind is hard-up on this one, but topology, a branch of mathematics, helps cosmologists figure this out.
If you have a Nokia phone, like a Nokia 3310, play the game Snake 2. Set it to 'no maze'. That should help one visualize a 'universe without an end'. I hope I knew more games that could help one visualize.

Answer 6

The universe has no end because it is always getting bigger. It has always been expanding at the speed of light (12,000,000 miles per minute) in every direction possible (basicly, it's sphericle) since it's creation (Big Bang Theory) so in the time I've spent writing this, the edge has moved about 20,000,000 miles already.

Answer 7

Since we have a very limited ability to study the universe and we only can see a small portion of it, we simply do not know. According to NOVA, "The most distant galaxies we can now see are 10 or 12 billion light-years away."

Answer 8

The last best estimate is that it ended July 20, 2004.

Answer 9

The universe has no beginning and no end, it is infinite. If there is a beginning or end, only God knows the answer.

Answer 10

Many years ago when I was used to get high we used to ponder this question. What I came up with is that there is always something outside of something. It is never ending. It can not end. It is very mind boggling. Good luck. If you ever find the end.....Let me know.

Answer 11

The universe does end....its diameter is about 13 billion light years. It ends in.......nothing. nothing is "something" with no length, no width, no depth, no time......nothing.The universe is embedded in nothing.
