is the universe shaped like a doughnut or a soccerball and whats at the end and if u go 2 the center of?

Question

the earth u implode right?

no i mean if u go 2 the core of the earth... would gravity on all sides cause u 2 implode

Answer 1

Essentialy, the lastest studies say 'both'. I know that doesn't make much sense.

The 'doughnut' shape, however, is just a metaphor. It is not really shaped in a ring, rather that it explained in that way so it can be visualized in three dimentions. The Universe is curved four dimentionaly, therefore imperceptably.

To visualize this, imagine a two dimentional creature on the surface of a sheet of paper. The paper represents the creature's Universe. Now, roll the paper into a tube and (ignoring the inevetable folding and crunching) bend it around so both ends of the tube are touching and lined up with eachother.

Now, the creature starts walking. It can cross over any edge of the universe and end up on the other side. If it walks in any direction long enough, it will end up where it started. But the creature is totally unaware of the curvature and completely perplexed by ending up where he started, because his Universe is curved three dimentionaly, in a way he cannot comprehend.

You are a three dimentional creature and the paper that is your Universe, is curved four dimentionaly. The universe isn't a fourdimentional doughnut, though. That's just an excercise for visualization purpouses.

A more accurate, but harder to describe, is if you were to take that same paper and bend it so all the edges are touching in a ball like fassion, the effect would be the same.

It is impossible to observe what is outside of existance, currently, so whatever may be beyond that, if anything, is anyone's guess.

Answer 2

The universe is too infinite to determine a shape and the universe is continually expanding so the there actually isn't an "end" of the universe. The center of the Earth won't make you implode, but the intense amount of pressure and heat will crush your body to death.

Answer 3

if i had to chose between the two i would say a soccerball as a dounut shaped universe is impractical when compared all the possible theories excluding the infinte universe and god theories.

said that nothing would happen if the earth was in the dead center of the universe, unless compared to the big bang therory where upon doing so yes the earth would be crushed

Answer 4

The universe has shape because gravity can distort that shape. Not just in the three spatial dimensions, however... it is curved in a fourth spatial dimension, and there is great work being done to determine if it is negatively curved, (saddle shaped) or positively curved (spherical), or a flat shape.

Those flat, saddle and spherical descriptors don't really work all that well, because the curvature is in the extra dimension that we cannot percieve directly. Gravity does distort the local shape of the space around it, and one can percieve the effects of that shape in graviational lensing of light as the light passes by massive objects.

Answer 5

The regulation of Conservation of Mass states that count number can't be created nor destroyed. From this, we are able to logically finish that the Universe has consistently been there. yet how does this make experience? by definition, the be conscious "supernatural" means that it can't be defined by organic guidelines. For the massive Bang to have handed off in accordance to the organic guidelines we already understand, it would want to might want to be an unlimited trend of expansions and contractions, which may recommend there change into in no way a starting up to it. it truly is the position theists make the blunders of arguing from lack of expertise; because the beginning of the massive Bang can't be defined, God must have performed it. inspite of the indisputable fact that, on condition that there change into "not something" (I placed citation marks round it because it truly is not fullyyt real) earlier the massive Bang, inspite of led to it to ensue change into not certain by the guidelines of the Universe, because it did not exist yet. possibly, then, something might want to have come from "not something."

Answer 6

For how much scientists have discovered, it is shaped like a cylinder. At the end, they say there is nothing. Not nothing like an empty room, but pure nothing. No air, no stars, no planets, just an endless black vacuum. I'm not sure what is in the center.

Answer 7

Our universe is so big we will never know. Then you have to take into account the hundreds, millions and possibly billions of other universes we may find one day. Every time science gets "smarter" they expand the size of the universe a few hundred million light years. My guess is it will never stop expanding and we will never stop chasing the end of it.

Answer 8

The universe doesn't have a shape.

Answer 9

the universe is shaped like a soccer ball n wats at the end is for god to know n for us to find out when we die

Answer 10

The universe is infinite, so it doesn't have any shape, nor does it have any centre.
