If I leave the Earth and keep traveling in a straight line where would I end up ?

Question

I asked this question about 2 hours ago but mistakenly put it into the wrong category.

Answer 1

If the universe is infinite then you wouldn't end up anywhere. You'd just keep going forever.

Answer 2

First lets think about how much more the earth has to offer. (heat, company, the internet etc.) then considder how with a limited life the deep space would be too cold to exist. People don't grasp that if you start with nothing then why put enges onto it. Space doesn't have edges so you will just keep going. When you have reached the orbit of Neptune there will not be enough heat and a guy called Small who was left on his own for 3 months in a lighthouse off the west coast went mad becasue he had no company.

Answer 3

That would depend largely upon when you left Earth, and from where. A straight line from Earth could have you crashing into any number of know heavenly bodies in as little as a couple of days (the moon), or you could travel for centuries until a Klingon found your ship and dissected you!

Answer 4

each thing's a lie. Like theres been quite a few circumstances at the same time as the international became to (apparently) end like in 2008, 2005, 2000 etc and it not at all got here about. the subsequent date is December 21st 2012. apparently like a large fireball or some thing from area is going to pass immediately exceeded earth by slightly and it is going to reason astounding climate and wide warmth rises. by what I listen besides, and they say Nasa has already discovered it.

Answer 5

I seem to recall that the general consensus among cosmologists leans in the direction of viewing space as being globally flat, ie. Euclidean. Keep heading upward and you'll end up in a very dark, empty space, nowhere in particular.

Answer 6

Albert Einstein once said, " space curves, and if you could look far enough, you could see the back of your head".
So you would end up right where you started, or travel on for all eternity in a circle.
