What's beyond the Universe?

Answer 1

You have to know that no one can answer this one with facts. My thoughts about this is maybe Heaven is on the outside of the universe. Or that there are more universes. But then the next question would be, what is beyond all the universes? And I also think that since the scientists say the universe is expanding there is just empty space out there for all of this to go into and space is never ending. Which is an overwhelming thought to me. Or Honestly, when I think about the universe, all that's in it and what could all possibly be out there my head begins to hurt.

What are your thoughts?

Answer 2

This is a good question...for no one quite knows the answer.....but for sure the universe is still expanding from the initial `big bang`......and it must be expanding into `something`.......perhaps it expands into the nothingness that may exist beyond the ongoing expansion......but for sure one day the force of the expansion may cease and if there is enough matter and gravity in the universe then the universe will start to draw back in on itself until it returns to its original state at the time of the big bang, perhaps invoking yet another big bang.....a cycle that goes on forever (an oscillating universe)......if not , then the universe will expand forever, the galaxies mutually receding until the last one has disappeared over the cosmic horizon and the universe becomes cold and lifeless.........with no rebirth.........

Answer 3

Literally nothing if you want to be picky, because the definition of universe is "everything."

Mathematicians of the cosmological bent have envisioned "multi-verses" (infinite diverging realities) and "membranes" (dimensions beyond time+space), and of course there is the concept of scale (a universe in a grain of sand, re: the final scene from the movie Men In Black) where our vision is as limited as an ant's-eye view of the true universe.

As a practical matter, you are a human on planet Earth and you have a finite life span and limited sensory perceptions. It is a wonder of the universe that you are savvy enough to ask the question: God bless you for asking!

Answer 4

Taralogi..You come up with a great question??
In the name of Allah, the beneficent, the merciful.

If you believe in God (Allah), Muslims religious book Quran..According to Quran and Allah said " He created seven universes in layers. You do not see any imperfection in the creation by the Most Gracious. Keep looking; do you see any flaw? Look again and again; your eyes will come back stumped and conquered."

"When you look at the mountains, you think that they are standing still. But they are moving, like the clouds. Such is the manufacture of GOD, Who perfected everything. He is fully Cognizant of everything you do"

The Future Of The Universe

It is not known if the universe will expand forever, or if one day it will begin to contract. In either case, the future of all the inhabitants of the universe could be rather bleak. If the expansion continues, after billions of years, all the energy of the sun and stars will be exhausted and every living thing will freeze to death. Eventually, only the expanding emptiness will remain. Alternatively if there is enough mass in the universe, gravity will one day stop the expansion and then contraction will begin. A contracting universe would ultimately end in a very hot and compressed state called "The Big Crunch." This would also destroy all life forms, as we know them.

Besides the above two depressing and purposeless scenarios of the future, there is an another possibility. Some physicists feel that time may reverse when the universe begins contracting. This prospect has a striking resemblance to the Quranic description of the Day of Judgment.

The Future Of The Universe As Described In The Qur'an

Now, let us turn our attention to the verses in the Quran that describe the beginning, the expansion and eventually the contraction of the universe. There is marked similarity between the Quranic revelation and recent discoveries in cosmology. The Quranic verses however, go far beyond modern cosmology in describing the future of the universe. The Quran gives us insight into laws of the universe that are yet to be discovered the laws of the contracting universe.

Hope this information is enough for all to understand the concept. Please while replying to any threads I would request you to all please please don't even think to use abuse langauge against any religion matter. We all are believe in God but only the approach is different. Respect you religion.
Take care.. Have a wonderful day ahead

Answer 5

There are many theories on whether the universe is infinite or not, I beieve it is; in "A Brief History of Time" Stephen Hawking says that the universe is probably infinite, it would be like walking around the Earth but never reaching the same place twice.

Answer 6

According to my mate Eddy Einstein if you set off in a perfectly straight line from earth, excluding the curvature of space, you will end up after some time from where you started. The theory being that the universe is in fact finite.

Answer 7

I would say the Universe includes all there is!

Your answer could be satisfied by a simple web search although the answers people give are only theorised or philosophised, not factual:

Answer 8

Thinking of this makes me feel like I'm on a roller coaster. I think that there are an infinite amount of universes. If my answer is hard to comprehend, think like this: For every univers, there are 10 more to surround it completely.

Answer 9

As far as we know, the universe encompasses everything that exists. If there is something else "outside" this universe, we can never know about it, we can only speculate. I take the view that the universe contains everything.

Answer 10

Thats one of the Big Questions. Nobody knows. Nothingness? Just infinite stars and galaxies going on forever? Either alternative is incomprehensible, and maybe there are even stranger possibilities. It would be interesting to live long enough to find out, though.
