Ive always wondered about space time and all things that are involved. Im also curious to hear what people think about the big bang; what surrounded this infinately dense area of matter that "exploded" into the creation of the universe? It seems to me that there would need to be an area for our universe to expand into. Would this mean that there is an alternate universe that ours has "pushed out of the way" during expansion? Or maybe there are simply an infinite number of universes. It just seems childish to me, to believe that there is an edge to our universe. What's beyond the edge? Nothing? Isnt the void and emptyness of "nothing" at its very essense..... SOMETHING?

There is no inside and outside. There is no beginning nor end. These concepts may make sense on earth, to humans, but not to space.
The universe just is.
If you really want to know all ins and outs, you'd have to study string theory, learn branes, and even then: good luck.

The logic hole you are falling into with these questions, which is very common, arises from the fact that you are implicitly applying everyday "common-sense" ideas to extreme situations in physics, where they just don't apply.
It is completely meaningless to ask "what is outside the Universe" or "what came before the Big Bang" because space-time is a property OF THE UNIVERSE so there is nothing corresponding to it outside the domain of the Universe. Furthermore, since everything "outside the Universe" is perpetually unobservable to inhabitants of the Universe, there is no way to say meaningfully what exists outside the Universe -- it has no comprehensible meaning.

Interesting question. The answer seems to be that space itself is expanding. There are all kinds of theories about foams of universes, or that our universe is a singularity in another universe, and heaps of others. As we are unlikely ever to be able to observe "outside" space we will never know.

convinced...this explains the severe divorce cost lately. do not snort...there's a cosmic connection. you observe...it truly is real..the universe is increasing and we human beings on the earth are turning out to be more beneficial aside on a daily basis....there's a powerful parallel from the macro to the micro...we are no diverse.

nobody know this, even scientist, the space is too large for us
