Scientist say that the universe is expanding. They say its expanding in a void. So really what do you think this void looks like. I know it impossible to famthom but what do you think? I think it all white like the Matrix, :)

Antonio, I really wanted to spare you this, peeking into the void and what not. But if the desire really burns within in you, you'll be disheartened to know that on the other side of the universe ... is a McDonald's. And it's closed!!!

The universe expanded initially at the speed of light,it expanded into nothing
The universe is bracketed by two types of nothing,this may seem bizarre but think about it.
The universe has a beginning and an end.
It is a finite incident it started sometime in the past and eventually it will go out of existence.
Before the universe started there was nothing but there had to be a potential and the potential had to be finite.
Some way this potential initiated a situation that led to the space-time pulse that was the beginning of our universe
It had to be finite or it would have had nothing to cause it to change.
The beginning of an incident.
When the universe runs it's course it will go out of existence.
It will enter a state of eternal nothing,an incident that happened once and will never happen again.

God . . .God is on the outside of His creation, the Universe!!! The universe is constantly expanding and has expanded for billions of years now! If it were not for the fact that God will someday create a 'new universe and earth' as foretold in Revelation 22, the present universe would have expanded forever! In the Old Testament book of 1 Kings 8:27 it says “But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven(sky) and heaven of heavens (universe)cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have builded?” The greatness of our Creator/God is incomprehensible. His magnitude is not confined by all that physically exists, even to the farthest ends of the universe!

The universe is composed of matter. Matter has mass. Mass has gravity. According to Einstein, gravity is a warp in the "fabric" of space. Thus, light, which appears to travel in a straight line, actually follows the threads in this fabric. We know large masses cause the light beams to curve...hence gravitational lensing. It has been proposed that the mass of the material universe causes light to curve back into it. If you were to travel to the "end" of the universe and look outward, you would just be seeing things that are back in the universe. If you were to try to get out of this world, you would just be going back into it! Since we are caught in this loop of the universe folding back into itself, there is no "outside". Couple this with the finite capability of the human mind trying to comprehend an infinite concept makes it particularly frustrating.

Well, I think that the void would be an area that totally lacks in anything. And since whiteness like in the matrix has to come from light, it couldn't be white....it would be nothing. No light translates to us as black, or darkness.

As I understand it, matter in the universe is not expanding into empty space, space itself is expanding. Into what? Into non-space. Something that isn't space. It isn't really possible to imagine it, it can only be described mathematically.
It is all a little too esoteric for me.

of direction no longer! Asking some distance-fetched questions stimulate the recommendations, for the two the answerer and the questioner. I strongly motivate those questions, the questions that are no longer asked commonly yet ought to have exciting solutions! the only issues that i'm against are easily dumb solutions. There are no longer any dumb questions, purely solutions!

The latest theory seems to accept an infinite number of branes (membranes) that move about like foam in an ocean. Every so often they collide with others and a new big bang creates another universe. All of them being part of a multiverse.

The expansion of the universe occurs in the time dimension of the space-time continuum. There is no 'outside', because if an outside exists it would be part of the universe, since the universe is 'all that exists'

What I've read is that the universe is composed of all space and time , and if you try to imagine something that's outside os space itself, it just can't be done. If you could try to reach the end of the universe you would just come to your original position.
