space never stops growing, so what is it growing into, what is beyond space.?

Answer 1

more space

Answer 2

Many people really don’t understand the real meaning of space. Even Einstein stated that ‘gravity bends space’.

What is SPACE ?

SPACE is nothing but ZERO, ABSOLUTE ZERO .

No Mass , No Temperature , No Energy , No Time………………just nothing.
Is it weird ?
Lemme explain,
All the physical entities like energy, mass, temperature, time….…..were evolved from ZERO. Zero is the starting point and it is the ending point. In architectural terms, its called as Definite beginning and Definite ending.

Space can’t be explained in a single sentence. There is so much depth to it.

Imagine a universe with nothing i.e. zero , at certain point of time, a point in space got some energy and it became a star .[ don’t ask me, how that point has got energy, that’s not the issue here. you can think it as a spiritual energy or universal energy or else THE ZERO ENERGY itself ]

Eventually this point [star] started radiating energy, in order to balance this, there must be some point which can absorb energy. That’s nothing but a blackhole. Remember, blackhole is also a point in space, a blackhole cannot suck space.

0 , + , - , …………………..zero , plus , minus.

Zero is the space, plus is the star which is radiating energy in all the directions and minus is the blackhole which is absorbing energy from all the directions.

So, what is happening here, the ‘plus ‘ energy is traveling thro zero [space] and reaching the blackhole [minus], in the same way, the ‘minus’ energy from the blackhole is traveling thro zero and reaching the star. That’s how the star is getting energy all the time . Plus to minus and minus to plus thro zero. It’s a perfect balance.

So the conclusion is , the space is something which cannot be stretched . it was there before and will be there for ever. The energy in the space can be stretched but not the space.

Answer 3

Think of a balloon. The universe is like the surface of the balloon, and rocketships are like ants on the surface of the balloon (they can't leave the surface of the balloon). Air keeps being pumped into the balloon, meaning that if the ants want to get from one place to another they keep having to travel farther and farther. The greater the distance, the greater the expansion -- if the ants stay in one neighborhood they won't notice the stretching.

The real situation is more complicated than that because space is infinite, but when people say "space is growing" they really mean that distances between things (e.g. galaxies) are just getting bigger.

So if you want, you could think of space-time being floating in some higher dimensional space that has the "room to expand" that we need, but that's not how scientists think of it. They think of space as something that relies on nothing except itself. It just is.

Answer 4

Space is growing into a retail shopping out let,beyond space is the car parking area

Answer 5

Space.

Answer 6

Space was created during the big bang. It is not growing into anything. The balloon image is OK for part of the answer. If you could attach circles that don't expand to the outside of the balloon as it expands, that would be closer. Galaxies aren't expanding, they are getting further apart.
Saying that space didn't exist before the big bang and that the big bang created space boggles my mind. I can't imagine it. Good luck trying.

Answer 7

Space is actually stretching. As you read this, even you are expanding ever so slightly, as is the rest of the universe. As one theory has it, the universe will keep expanding but at some point retract and implode upon itself. Almost like the sun is supposed to do. Our solar system is near it's half-life. It is around 4 billion years old. In another 5 billion years, thesun will start expanding, eating up the first 3 planets in its path - the third being Earth. Mars will become the closest planet to this huge sun. Then the sun will begin imploding unto itself as has been witnesses of other suns scientists have observed in the universe.

Answer 8

I theorize that its zero kelvin and as the universe expands, matter interrupts this zero Kelvin state and creates more space. As this happens there is more space for the matter to expand within and so it moves out...therefore effecting the zero kelvin and dormant matter and providing it energy, therefore creating heat and increasing the kelvin rate. Here therefore becomes more space and space grows vastly forever until eventually it becomes so finely spread out and all matter exists within a fraction of kelvin and more space is created as more zero kelvin is occupied with energy and the matter that exists being particioned more like radiations half-life, always becoming less but never reaching zero.

Hope you can understand this, it requires a little knowledge of a few concepts. :D

Answer 9

There is nothing beyond space. It is the galaxies that are moving away from each other cos of dark matter.

Answer 10

The universe is all there is. It is expanding. There is no "beyond" the universe. Time does not exist if it is not contained within spacetime. That's the theory anyway. Think of the "outside" of the universe as a thought nobody ever had.

Answer 11

It is not space that is growing - it is the universe.
