What is beyond the universe?

Question

1: give and educated guess
2: use your imaganation

Answer 1

1. Assuming our universe is a giant black hole, beyond it would be space and other universes.

2. Heaven, or United Artists (as opposed to "Universal" ( smile ).

Answer 2

The main options:

1. Nothing. Just define 'universe' so it includes everything.

2. Space containing no matter and perhaps even no energy.

3. There is no such thing. Space exists only as relationships between matter, so if there is no matter, there is no space. I'm not joking. Some scientists seriously consider this.

4. There is no such thing. Space is expanding along with the material universe.

5. There is no such thing. The universe is a closed topology. I don't think there is any particular evidence to support this.

6. Conjecture whatever you like. We'll never know. It's beyond our event horizon. Imagine parallel universes if that tickles your fancy.

Answer 3

Just space an an infinate amount of universus or i it universi or universes? Anyway billions and billions and billions of more univereses just like ours. On my computer at work i have a photo of what appears to be blank space and when Hubble was pointed at this same space for I think 10 days it picked up thousands and thousands of galaxies.

Answer 4

nothing... our universe is a single closed system, much like a chemical in a flask except that there's nothing outside the flask, I came to this conclusion because of the increasing expansion of the universe because of the increase in dark energy (because something has to fill up that void). So basically, the universe is closed and there is nothing outside of it...

Answer 5

Since there was no space before our universe came into being(?), what could possibly be at the leading edge of of the expansion of our universe.

Answer 6

I can't imagine infinity. I tried and failed. So I believe space is curved on itself. So just like the surface of earth has no end, yet it is not infinite, I believe 3-d space is like the surface of a 4-d sphere: finite and curved on itself.

What lies beyond and above this 4d sphere... nothing but giant turtles and sea monsters probably.

Answer 7

Hold a jug below the surface of water taken in a drum or bucket.

Now THE JUG IS IN WATER
and WATER IS IN THE JUG
The objects,events you see,sensations you feel in the universe, you perceive from your five senses are some chemicals and their reactions in your brain,all inside you. YOU are the universe.Nothing outside hence boundless.

Answer 8

your question touches on the metaphysical phenomena of consciousness. the ageless question of whether "the universe" exists in the mind or the mind in the universe.

if the mind exists in the universe, then it obviously cannot exist outside it.

if the universe is a figment of the imagination, then anything is game.

i tend to think the latter.... because there is no end to the question of what exists outside the thing that is outside the universe...

happy pondering....:)
