These are a few of our Universes amasing things.
Dark energy is said to out weigh all the universes solids by 1000%
Dark matter (they know not what it is) is beleived to be what is causing our Universe to expand at the rate of 66.6% the speed of light in all directions. (and increasing)
Known solids are less than 4% of the mass in our Universe.
We can only see the trillion (M/L) galaxies, but 10 to 100 times this amount of Galaxies are dark and can not be seen by us.
that would make 10 to 100 trillion galaxies.
Why I ask the question is, I am waiting for the day when our knawledge of space is expanded to be able to see beyound our universe as we know it.
If one took (as an example) 25 trillion Galaxies and the average Galaxie had two hundred Billion stars such as our sun,
how many worlds similar to ours might there be?
Why would there be only empty space beyound our Universe?

One reason the matter and energy might be "dark" is because it comes from a higher dimension.

For Einstein’s Special Theory or Relativity to work required at least 11 dimensions. String Theory requires 20. We are still limited to understanding the basic four; length, width, depth, and time.

If dark matter and dark energy is located in a higher dimension then the reason we can’t see it is that we aren’t built to see it, and we may never understand it.

Once light was thought of as a wave, but now we know it is a particle. Based on that gravity could be a particle; a graviton. However, there is no hard evidence for gravitons, no one has seen one, picked one out, or conducted an experiment where their existence can be inferred. We believed in atoms before we could see them. Currently, we can’t see individual photons, but we can infer their existence. We can track them and determine that they can be influenced by gravity; meaning that they have mass.

Our fundamental understanding of gravity hasn’t changed since Og told Nog “Ugh, heavy.” Galileo experimented with it. Newton defined the mathematics of it, but neither one knew exactly what it was.

Could it be that gravity, dark matter and dark energy are all expressions of something in a higher dimension expressed in the 4 dimensions that we understand? After all what is in those higher dimensions, there has to be something there? This doesn’t require the existence of other universes, merely a more complicated universe than the one we see and interact with.

The Universe, by definition, is the sum total of everything; including the empty space in between. Only recently we found proof for dark energy. We detected some energy because it had an effect on other energy, and we couldn’t see the source of the effecting energy. Another words we infer the existence of dark energy because we found proof for it and don’t have any other explanation for what is going on.

It seems to me that if there are at least 5 times as many dimensions that we can see or interact with, that there must be a lot of other stuff inside of those dimension that we can’t see or interact with.

Look at the difference between the volume of a circle and a sphere. The extra dimension adds a whole lot of volume. If you consider the sphere at each point in space time during its existence then you create a string of spheres, vastly increasing the volume of the original circle by expanding it into higher dimensions. So if we put the circle into a 5th dimension creating a hyper-sphere then the extra volume might be composed of dark matter.

Keep waiting patiently hon, because that won't happen in our lifetime.

Outerspace is considered infinite, until such a time as someone is able to find the edge and end of it.

But theoretically, I do believe that there are innumerable universes outside our own. Nature Abhors a Vacuum. And if we were the only universe, that's what it would be in essence.

There is only one universe and we are in it.
It is an incident with a beginning and an end.
There is nothing beyond the cosmic interface that defines our universe.
Anything connected to it is part of it anything not connected to it doesn't exist.

Not only are there many places
that is made up of matter, there
is a Spiritual dimension as well.
Where the one that spoke and
nothing became everything dwells.

excellent question.
YES. I believe (and many other do to) that this universe lives in the MULTIVERSE

Sounds more like a religion. Another one of those many questions that has no answers, just opinions.

sam like numbers..there are too many empty space beyound our universe. so it can be enclosed as infinity.

While you are waiting, you will do us all a favor by learning to write coherently and spell correctly.
