If the universe is just some big expanding bubble or box, what's outside of it?
Is it possible that like light.. where there is an absense of light, it's black or nothing.... with the outside universe it's the absence of time?

Some scientists today believe there are several universes that create a multiverse. Imagine it as a pile of foam bubbles, where each bubble is a universe. Beyond that scientists can only speculate. It would be an absense of everything on the outside of a universe as everything exists within a universe. And time is relative. It doesn't really exist at all.

This tends to metaphysics and things. To put things in some perspective.
First current theory of physics-and so far it works almost perfectly in its predictability-is that there is no time without space and space dos not exist but is a product of the expansion of the universe. So what's outside. Whether the universe is infinite or not does not matter. Current string theory allows for an infinity of universes. Think of the bubbles in your bubble bath. each bubble is a universe with its own laws of physics. This is the wonderful thing about infinity. you can stuff it with more infinities without violating any laws. Bottom line we do not know. we do not even know if there is an outside. We are still too new in this game of physics but we are getting there. We have come a long way since "Zaappp!!! Let there be light" was the prevailing theory as to the creation of the universe.

thers is nothing, there is no space outside it. According to some theory, the universe is 'round' and has its ends joint together; seems hard to comprehend, but we are talking about another dimension. If there is something that can travel fast enough being shot out, according to the theory, it will come back to the same place after time.

This might as well be a philosophical question. What is outside of everything? More everything. The universe either is or isn't infinite. If it is then there's no end to it so there's no outside. If it isn't infinite then there's still no way to get beyond it.

Well we don't know and probably never will know. I don't know if lite could escape our universe but I believe that gravity can according to string theory, that is why it is so week according to the other forces. I also think the 11th dimension may have something to do with your question.

Yo Raunak fuckfacts. F your replica and paste. we needed authentic thoguhts no longer robotic. the idea of there being a parallel universe is a robust question, yet with each sturdy question there is yet another question that would want to be requested. Its like leaping the gun to be short. I say this becuase we do not even know how our universe works therefore lets no longer probable even imagine about yet another. because if we do not study about the makeup(guidelines of physic that seem to regulate daily) that we are cloaked in we are able to by no potential proceed. So a extra useful question might want to be, How does our universe artwork? Now the following is the authentic options blower. There won't be able to be purely another! because each decision you're making might want to CREATED a sparkling universe! each little thing might want to might want to be oppisite otherwise there might want to purely be one universe. following me? ok so say you had to goto the mall, yet in the different universe you probably did not. know imagine of each little thing you settle on about on the mall and each thing you settle on at homestead or with a pal. with each decision there is two or 3 conceivable solutions and for each answer there might want to might want to be a universe. So for each day existence there might want to be billions of universe for one individual. for the international there might want to be trillions abon trillions. my answer is sure there is extra universes. yet sick by no potential see them.

the universe is not a thing it is every thing dont by the big bang its a myth a big bang is only one of many ongoing cosmic explosions that occur every day.

We are prob a molecule in someones keyboard in another dimension, who are using that very keyboard to ask the same question in their world.

It's where you go when you die, into the void that is nothingness.
