Does the universe end if so what’s beyond the walls of the universe?

Answer 1

Some theories of a limit in the size of the universe state that it is curved. You just return to where you started. The is no physical end.

Answer 2

Supposedly then universe does not end, yet in other theories it does end it's just to far away to ever reach in anyone's life time. That theory is based upon the fact that the universe is expanding so if it is growing then there must be an end, and in opposition to that it is theorized that the universe will then begin contracting as well causing it to shrink..... So if there is an end to the universe is all based on opinion and what theory you believe. What is beyond the universal wall? that is one question that is too complex for the human mind to comprehend

Answer 3

Gosh, where to begin....... Your question could be answered in many different ways. Theologically: Western theology holds that the universe is without end. Scientifically: Science holds the universe as it exists today is a result of what's been called the "Big Bang"; that the entire business came from a small and very dense item that exploded and sent matter flying off in all directions. This matter allegedly coalesced into objects which are supposedly still moving away from the original location. That's a terrible over-simplification, but there you have it, in basic theory. In as much as matter can neither be created nor destroyed, the substance of the existing universe must be limited to the mass of the original material, and is therefore finite. My personal view tends to have me thinking most everything has both a beginning and an end. As such, for me the universe has borders. Insofar as what might exist beyond it's borders, infinite possibilities exist, and the entire matter becomes philosophical. Quite likely, if anything exists beyond the borders of the universe it would be impossible to either detect or define within the realm of our current frame of reference.

Answer 4

Considering that the universe is spiral you would reach back where you started from but if you take the possibilites of what exists beyond the universe it can be another universe. we can think of the universe as a house of mirrors only difference is that this house is dark and also that you can't see the mirrors but you can pass through them without realising that you have just moved from one universe to another. So we might say that there is another universe beyond our universe but we wont realise that we just moved from one universe to another. Thus we might say that the universe does not have an end.

Answer 5

"Some theories of a limit in the size of the universe state that it is curved. You just return to where you started. The is no physical end"

So there is no wall. Like an ant living inside a huge beach ball. What happens when it gets to the end? There is no end. No imagine that in our space.

Or a different analogy ... Think of the ant living on a Mobius strip? No matter how far it travels it can never leave the strip.

Answer 6

Considering the latet news discovered my the cientists, We might have to ask which universe you are reffering to ?
The cientists had a trouble explaining the gravitational behaviour of some stars. The calculations predicted an enormous amount of mass to do that. Much more than what is visible in the whole universe. More recently it seems gravitational energy can com in from other pararel universes and affect our own.
If you interested read a book called Elegant Universe by Brian Greene -> http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/elegant/

Answer 7

What if the singularity that created the universe, was from an enormous explosion of gas. Possibly from a huge volcano like object.
Then that volcano must be attached to something; that something might actually be the "continent" of space.
Our universe could be floating aimlessly, in the ocean, or atmosphere of a much larger object.
Just a what if.

Horton hears a who.

Answer 8

I think the universe is expanding and that there is nothing outside of it. Some things are too complicated for the mortal mind to comprehend. Maybe space and time do not exist outside the universe.

Answer 9

while it can be argued that the universe does not end; notable thinkers suggest that without actually needing to end, if the amount of material in say a thousand cubic kilometers of space is a single atom of hydrogen and over there this is even less, then a boundary may be present.

Answer 10

Theory has it that the universe is still expanding. However, since we don't know the shape of the universe, we don't know where to look for the edge. (if there even is one)
