is there an edge to the universe?

Answer 1

Theoretically, there is an edge to the universe, at which point nothing has expanded past. The existence of a physical limit to the universe is something that will never be proven.

From our perspective, there is an edge to the universe, past which we have not seen with our most powerful telescopes. What is beyond that point depends on our capability to build more powerful telescopes that can detect objects past our earlier limit.

Answer 2

that the universe has no boundary or edge just as one would not find an edge to the earth, or to the surface of any other sphere. If one travelled in a straight line toward the edge you would eventually return to the point of origin thanks to the curvature of space

(of course the point at which you left would no longer be there due to the expansion of the universe - unless your journey was instantaneous that is - the volume of the universe is finite, it's volume accelerating with time).

However, the observable universe does have an edge... it is simply as far as we have seen... approximately 15 Billion light years, 1 mile, 125 feet, 4 1/4 inches. :o)

Answer 3

Because there is absolutely no law of physics that says the shape of our universe has to be round or saddle shaped or any other shape for that matter I submit the same applies for edges.
I found a large moth's wing once and if the answers are in nature, as some say they are, then our universe looks more or less like an inverted nike logo only rounded. The edges are defined but not clear. Hope this helps.

Answer 4

There is an edge to the universe, and as it is currently understood, the Universe is expanding into nothingness - absolute nothingness. No physical laws apply beyond the edge of the Universe because there is nothing for them to apply *to*.

Answer 5

The universe is infinite. There's an edge to our galaxy but not the universe.

Answer 6

No. There is no edge, center, left or right, up or down, corner or short cuts. It neither expands nor contracts. It just is. Infinity squared to infinity, limitless and forever. The universe is nothing that contains everything known, and plenty of unknowns.

Answer 7

No there is not.
