Is there an "edge" to the universe?

Answer 1

Assuming that the "BIG BANG" began it all then no there is no edge as the universe is ever expanding like a balloon, simply growing larger and larger.

Answer 2

I think there is an edge to an individuals universe depending on how much they are willing to reach out to the world around them. Some people will never find the edge of the universe because they see themselves at the centre of it!

Answer 3

It's a hard matter to explain,also because there are different visions of the thing.Here goes one that makes some sense(???haha).
The Universe borders don't exist,because if measured in different places, the physical units of measurement as lenght( for space) and time are not a constant.They do stretch.Weird example, just to give the idea: one second measured around XXXXX constellation,is still a second if measured there,but measured here it might be as long as one solar year.The same happens with the distance,being space and time connected. According the ondulatory theory there is a limit (a physical place in certain conditions of present mass, at a certain speed, impacting other matter)where space becomes infinite,because infinite is mathematically supposed to be time that the light would take to cross its next section .
According this theory the Universe is expanding,but in the sense that it continues creating matter and time and pouring it in between the known galaxies, (like an underground spring in the middle of a lake..)...
I hope i made some sense.
(Ya might ask in the science section,or read something of modern physics,from Mr Einstein on.(Relativity Theory stated first that time and space are never constant ).

Answer 4

Depends the perspective. The edge to this universe would be the begining of a unknown dimension. If you beleive in that dimension stuff anyway. Sort of like the edge of this universe is all around you, but that edge hasn't breached dimensional fabric yet. Hippy theory I know, but no one else was going to say it... originality.

Answer 5

The only edge of anything is the limit your mind imposes on it. The universe is infinite, yet expanding at the speed of light. There are speeds greater than even this, and more than one universe, more than one life. We are all connected. If you really wanted to, you can see the edge of the universe, just open your mind and let go of your thoughts.

Answer 6

I don't know about your corner of the universe, but around here it seems to get a little more "edge" to it every day. I remember when the universe was a much warmer, fuzzier place. But life on the edge isn't all bad.

Answer 7

Each galaxy is a molecule. If you reached the edge of the universe, you would find all the galaxies would pack together to create something else. Maybe we're just a micro-micro-microorganism living on a speck of dust inside a molecule that makes up the body of another living creature.

Answer 8

The very word "edge" suggests that it is the border or end of something here, and beyond which there is something or nothing.... now your question is about empty space, for which there is supposed to be no end, and even if there is an edge or end, by our own definition, again something has to be there beyond it !

Answer 9

That's a good question.

Universe does have edge as well as shape. Yes, time defines its edge and space defines its shape.

I hope you understand that, since I really don't quite!!

Answer 10

No, it's expanding, we also do not know it's shape so it might not have an edge. It depends on the theory.
