does the sky end?

Question

i mean really think about it. it surely cannot go on forever. it obviously goes from sky to space then to what??

this has baffled me since i was a kid.

JEWEL you miserable cow stop being so pathetic. i don't want to go to the library or search the internet, i want to know other peoples opinions. this is what yahoo answers is all about. if everyone searched the net then no one would be here for you to take out your crap life issues on. so just be grateful we give you something to do.

Answer 1

Yes, when it reaches the edge of the universe there is a big sign there and written on the sign are the words:
STOP HERE YOU CAN GO NO FURTHER

Answer 2

There is indeed limit to everything in our knowledge, all things that come into our observation seem to start somewhere, and then end some place. But these divisions of the known universe into things with limits are only arbitrary, just illusions that we learn to capture in our perception through our physical eyes. If our eye were not the way they are then all things would look as different as one could see; if our eyes, for example, were bigger than they are now then everything would have looked small; and if we were able to see ultraviolet and infrared wavelengths of the spectrum of light then this world would appear in very different colours. It is all the way we observe things, and there is no limit any thing in the world, it is as if all things are summed up into one complete entirety.

We know now that the blue sky we see is a simple optical illusion. And when we fly at a high altitude the shy blue colour starts to turn into deeper blue, and then there is no colour at all, only the bleakness of space illuminated by distant starts. The spread of space and passing of time has now also proved to be a part of one single continuum; travelling faster than the speed of light in space, for example, causes time dilation. And it is theoretically possible to travel vast distance in no time it we are able to cross the universal limit of the speed of light.

Above, or beyond physical our world there is the world of abstract realities, only conceived in our thoughts. For example, in our imagination distance is just a thing, and not a stretch of space. We can imaginatively reach to the other end of the universe in no time. And then what do we find there, is the question you ask. In words of Frederick Nietchze – if one travels far enough one will find himself in the end.

Answer 3

Yes.

Your question relates to the definition of any boundary.
We can solve the problem with a mathematical sphere that surrounds the entire amount of atmosphere, anything beyond that limit will have a statistically irrelevant amount of the particles found in the exosphere.

Can we draw such a sphere? Below 100km 99.999% of the atmospheric mass is found, but the atmosphere reaches to 10,000km

The skepticism of our measurements, our inability to see EXACTLY where the last statistically relevant assortment of atmospheric particles, is accounted for by our equations. It makes no practical difference if we are several kilometers off in the calculation around 10,000km. Instead of a perfect spheroid which matches our data perfectly, we construct a 3-D region in which the atmosphere is most likely to end, beyond which probability of finding stray elements approaches 0.

Answer 4

the sky is a hallow sphere so the only ends are inside(toward the earth) and outside(toward space) of it. but then we get into but if the sky is simply air then even when im on the ground I'm touching the sky. if the second part were true then there would only be then ending toward space.

Answer 5

Sky is an empty space. Empty space is endless. Also, scientists say universe is constantly expanding. I don't know if it is expanding or not but I just feel universe is endless. Perhaps we can't think in terms of our limited perceptions or with logical mind about the universe. We always tend to think in terms of limits but universe transcends all the limits and logic that we can think of.

Answer 6

The blue sky turns into space after a few miles travelling upwards, apparently.

Answer 7

The sky only exists as a perceptual interperation of reflected light in our minds.

So I guess that you could say that it begins and ends in our thoughts.

Miserable cow?

If we all answer the smart *** answers with smart *** answers How are we different?

Answer 8

Yes it does eventually after a few 100 miles it turns into space.
Yes space does go on forever.

Answer 9

The sky ends beyond the ionosphere. After that, it becomes space.

Answer 10

to answer your question about the sky ! i would say it goes on forever !! but darling i wouldnt waste your time arguing with other people on here its not worth the energy plus you might get reported of the sad sack pc police xxx LOL
