So you know how all those "smarty-pants scientists" say that the universe is constantly expanding? Well anything outside earth is the universe and it goes on forever you know? Well if it is constantly expanding, where can it expand to? There is nothing beyond it....HA NO SO SMART NOW ARE YA SUCKERS!

It's going where it's going to go, and there is nothing you can do about it.
Actually, they say eventually it will stop expanding, and then collapse back on itself, then you need to worry. Kinda like a rubber band being stretched, and then snapping back...Not something to worry about, instead worry about all the nuts here on this planet that are trying to destroy us.

The universe in which your question, the media, and thought are all valid is unique. Any other universe would not have the same initial conditions, and the same on-going harmonics. This yields two answers:
1. The universe is expanding, and since no other universe is in sympathetic harmony with ours, there is little or no resistance to its spacial expansion. Even if our universe were to bump into another universe, centered elsewhere, it would not interact much.
2. There is at least one theoretical universe which overlaps our universe. The Imaginary Universe is centered at the same spot as ours, but it contains only material which travels faster than light. Our universe and the Imaginary Universe only interact at the Event Horizon within every star & black hole. this interaction & the work done there puts a limit to the expansion of both.

Exactly, there is nothing beyond the edge of the universe, so there is nothing to stop it from expanding.
The universe is just the sum total collection of all the stars, planets and so on that we know. As well as the energy put out by them. It sits in empty space and that space itself isn't part of the universe it is just empty space; nothing.
We don't know what existed prior to the big bang or if anything even did exist. Modern theory says that it was all empty space with nothing there. If there was a previous universe then it is slowing being destroyed by our expanding one.

Your question is like this to me:
I can't comprehend infinity, so anything having to do with it must not be true.
Wrap your head around this one:
Two infinite sets:
1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,..... forever and ever
0,1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15.... forever and ever
Neither set is larger than the other - they're both infinitely large, yet one contains an item not in the other.
Then there's 2,4,6,8,10,12... which is also infinitely large. However, it completely never touches the first two sets at all. Where do you put them all if they're both infinitely large? Huh?

By God, she's got it! She's figured out all by herself the final piece of the puzzle that the scientists just couldn't make fit! The Nobel Prize. Fame. And no more having to skulk around on Yahoo Answers.

so theoretically the unvierse is the surface of a sphere, not the sphere itself. so the sphere is growing, so theres more surface area, so the universe can expand. picture the unvierse like a balloon. mark little dots on the balloon for each galaxy. then just blow the balloon up. it expands.

well, if you believe the Big Bang theory, what was there first. Nothing a big void, thats where the universe is going. eventually it will stop, and all be sucked back in over a few billion years, and I personally believe everything will reoccur

In time we will see beyond our eyes. As we get wiser, we will have new technology that will provide us with information that we never thought it would be real.
Just wait and see, like millions, billions, or trillions years from now. Technically, our offsprings or descendents will see.

If a tree falls in the forest and there's no one there to hear it, does it make a sound?

I guess I'm not quite an Einstein, so the relativity theory has been sorta hard to wrap my head around.
Next question?

So are you saying that it is not expanding?
Are you saying that there is something beyond our universe?
Are you retarded?
