This question really bugs me! Here's some information for people who do not know this, scientists believe that our Universe is a closed universe, that explodes periodicly, then contracts back into a ball of many elements. There is another theory that states we are a open galaxy that will explode, and then keep flying off in different directions, until the galaxies become so scarce, that we wouldn't even be able to see the stars at night, not only that but this theory means that the kenetic energy that is accelerating us will everntually slow down, and when it stops completely, the temperature will drop to Zero, and everything will become extinct. Well now here's the tough question, if our Universe is one of these kinds of Universes does that mean it's possible that there could be more gigantic balls of mass floating out in an area of limbo, that explodes periodicly, before it either flies away, or contracts into one piece. Just think of the enormity of this, Could this really be real?

Imagine the ants in the backyard of your house in california. Can it really imagine what's there on the other side of the world say the Eifel Tower?
We are just like those ants. We know certain things (like the ant knows about the backyard and it's boundaries). Unfortunately using that "very limited" knowledge to apply to find what's out there beyond what we know is impossible.
One of the theories I made myself is that you should be able to view 'time'. We can only physically view height, depth and width. 'time' has been proposed as a dimension but not the one that can be physically seen like the above three as it continuously changes.
If we are given that gift to view the time, probably we may be able to view what's out there.

The universe is not really a thing like your thinking its more like a time filled with events and the big bang does not explane space itself or the stuff we call nothing, the distance between all the little peices that is more like timewether its lightyears or quantum nano milasecounds.there may have been many big bangs in many parts of the uni. suns can nova but noone knows if a black whole can do the same they could be bang makers and theres probable alot of them out there

The Universe is all in the eye of the beholder. Or maybe in the eye of a beetle in another universe.
I believe we're in an open universe, but it doesn't really matter... considering this little blue planet will be wiped out before the universe reaches this point.
To answer your question, I think the universe isn't 'on' or 'in' anything. It just is.

I don't think anyone is really sure about the Universe Einstein's theory is probably the most easy explainable. Look it up on the net cause all i know is Who is on first What's on second and I Don't Know is on third lol good luck!

when science ends... religion begins
the reality of it that I see, is that we won't get out into the stars in my life time, not enough to answer that question. So I focus on the things I can change, the people I can affect, and let the other things that I can't do anything about take care of themselves.

This forum is Yahoo ANSWERS...repeat, ANSWERS!!! There is absolutely no answer to your question about some "thing" other than our universe. Tons of idle speculation, yes, but not one shred of hard scientific, observational evidence that any of those concepts are the way things actually are. Possible??? Of course!!. Provable??? Absolutely, positively not!!
