Is there a border to the Universe? If yes, then what do you think is outside of the Universal sphere?

Answer 1

This sort of question generates the highest percentage of false and meaningless responses of any other I know of in A&S forum. Here's the real poop. According to the BB model of the universe, the universe is expanding, but there is no boundary beyond which there is only empty space into which stars and galaxies are expanding into. This is a common misinterpretation due to a widespread inability to grasp the concept of curved space. On a large scale, every can consistently be presumed to be pretty much the same as it is in our neighborhood, although any conclusions about what lies beyond the observable universe are impossible. However, the volume of the universe may be either finite or infinite. This is simply not known. In General Relativity, finite *and* unbounded is not a contradiction.

Answer 2

Some people are beginning to believe that the universe is infact finite, like a loop.

If you believe in the BB theory then you also have to believe that there is an end of the universe that is moving further and further away all the time as the universe expands.

I really don't think man will ever discover the real answer, but it is a goal worth examining.

Answer 3

The universe isn't a shape so it doesn't have a border.

It doesn't have a start, end or a center. Yet if you had a stick long enough and held it straight out in front of you you would poke yourself in the back.

The only reason people say it is infinite because you will never come to an end. But you will just end up where you started. You can see the surface of earth is infinite because you can walk forever and never see the end.

Answer 4

I will reiterate my view on the universe. We all experience the universe through our senses (hearing, vision, feel, smell, taste, and any undiscovered). The universe begins with where we are and reaches out as far as our senses and our technology allow. If we were able to go to the position where our senses reach now, that location would be the new beginning of our universe, from which we experience the universe.

The problem we humans have is that we cannot conceive of something which has only one end. As individuals, each of our universes (and I believe there are as many universes as there are living things) starts with us. This is NOT a spiritual thing, but a physical thing. We reach out to the universe from where we are.

So, my answer to your question is that the only border to the universe is where it starts, and that is with each of us.

Answer 5

There must be an end because there was a beginning, hence the universe is in fact finite according to modern physics to include the "Big Bang" and creation science, so there must be an end because it is expanding. I think it to be logical that all these had to come to existence at the same time.
1. for there to be matter you must have a place (or space) to put it
2. and without time there would be no when to put it.

So if these are linked there must things outside the time domain that has inverse qualities of these elements of time space and matter.

A. non matter (or spiritual instead of material)
B. timeless (without time) for time is linked to matter

Just a thought..... who knows

Answer 6

The border of the universe limits to the edge of the space matter has yet expanded into. Beyond that there is 'space' but no time, hence there is the border.

Answer 7

There is not border just alot of dark matter out universe is expanding in to.

Answer 8

There is an undefined imaginary border for the universe, beyond which is absolute zero.

Answer 9

Easy, the Multiverse. That is, other universes, bumping into ours creating new matter in ours when the branes bump into each other.

Look up "M Theory" and the "Kaluza-Klein Theory"

Answer 10

No, if you could go far enough, you'd just end up where you started, like on that old game asteroids, but in 3 dimensions.
