What really is the universe?

Question

Can it be just part of something even bigger?

Answer 1

Stephen Hawking said the universe is shaped like a pear with the singularity or big bang at the bottom and the curves in space time. However their is also the fecund universe theory. This states that when one universe has a black hole, time does not end inside a black hole but initiates a quantum bounce. This creates a singularity on the other side creating a baby universe. Each new universe the laws of physics are the same but their may be slight variations. The beliefe of our universe being the way it is, is because ours is how universes typicaly develope. This is basicaly the anthropic principle, which states, if our universe was not the way it was we would not be here. Richard Feynman states that a particle will take every single path through space time available. Meaning each universe could be another possible outcome of reality. A final note on one of the particles that exist in the universe (or perhaps multiverses) is the electron. All electrons are the same one curve. Also electrons move backwards in time while positrons move forward. So the electron is a curve on a atomic scale that moves backwards in time. This is all highly theoretical. However I hope my answer was helpful.

Answer 2

The Universe is something that not even the most creative, most imaginative, smartest, brightest, person or creature can imagine. It is something that is beyond our understanding and comprehension.

To ask such a question, brings so many different theories and debates that can span an entire populations lifetime. We will never truly know what the universe is...humans have been debating and arguing this topic for centuries, if not millenniums.

The most prominent example is Albert Einstein theory on dark matter. At the time it was mocked and laughed at; now, astronomers are recognizing that it is dark matter that is pushing and expanding the universe as we speak and has been doing so for over 13 billion years.

How can we hope to answer this question when one of the greatest minds of all time was laughed at for his theory regarding one of the most important things in the universe?

Answer 3

The Universe is a tiny bubble within the infinite dimensional matrix of the Super-Megaverse. The only thing we can know of the Universe is what we can observe. There are billions and billions of life forms out there we are just one, one that might not make it for very long.

Answer 4

OH YES...

And, in fact it is.

Our Universe is the Milky Way Galaxy. The Milky Way contains something like 100 billion Stars and gosh knows how many planets are associated with those stars. Since they are not burning (shining) we cannot see them, but it is logical to assume that each Star has from 0 to 10 planets associated with it.

Beyond our galaxy there are roughly 100 Billion more Galaxies.
Those galaxies contain an untold number of Stars and planets.
It is quite difficult to see those other galaxies because of the brilliance of the stars in our own galaxy.

Answer 5

The universe is simply space, all energy comes from God, some of this energy is cooled in space to form matter. Air, water and other things like gold all have spiritual counterparts. Scientist make no sense.

Answer 6

it could be just part of something bigger, everything else is, but then it is that whole collection of things that would be the universe.

Answer 7

Univers is a vast area fyll of gases dust etc.
It was formed after a big bang
scientists believe that either it will keep on increasing or one day it will be compressed

Answer 8

It is everything. No, then it wouldn't be the universe.

Answer 9

there something else out there that we don't know. so yeah

Answer 10

waves of ether.
