What's outside the Universe ?

Question

(((( o ))))

Answer 1

Technically, there is nothing 'outside' the Universe because the Universe is the collection of all 'things' including space-time and the the other microscopic dimensions that string theory proposes(if they do exist, that is).

Of course, there is that talk about parallel universes. If they do exist, would they be 'outside' the Universe in the usual sense of the word? Or are they right here, right now only they can't have any physical consequence on us?

And by the way, technically we cannot observe the Whole Universe. What astronomers and everyone have been observing all these years is just the so-called 'observable universe'. You see, according to Einstein's general theory of relativity nothing travels faster than light--including information since it is assumed that information requires a physical medium to 'travel'(Well, you can't actually use the telephone without using electric pulses). Since the universe is estimated to be around 15-20 billion years old(way older than Methuselah), any star or galaxy more than 20 billion light-years away from us will be unobservable and would have no effect whatsoever on us(gravitational or otherwise) since the Universe is not yet 'old' enough for light or anything that travels at the speed of light to cover that distance.

So even in our humble universe we can see only up to some 'horizon' beyond which lies the unobservable universe. Beyond that horizon is still part of the universe, but what kind of place is it is up to the human imagination. Perhaps there are intelligent beings over there who can't see us just as we can't see them. And perhaps they are wondering about the same questions that plague us.

By the way, great question! That made me think...

Answer 2

By definition... nothing can be outside of a "universe." Universe, unless it is defined as finite, means "all of everything." There are some people who are playing with the idea of "multiple universes" and "overlapping universes" but their use of the word is inconsistent with it's more commonly accepted meaning and I suspect they will soon begin to rename the structures they wish to consider (as finite sub-universes within an infinite boundary for example,) in order to keep from causing confusion.

But once again.... There is nothing at all outside of an infinite universe because an infinite universe cannot and does not have an outside. The very idea is illogical.

Yo Raunak fuckfacts. F your replica and paste. we would have enjoyed genuine thoguhts not robotic. the assumption of there being a parallel universe is a sturdy question, yet with each and every sturdy question there is yet another question that must be asked. Its like leaping the gun to be short. I say this becuase we don't even comprehend how our universe works subsequently we could not probable even think of approximately yet another. because of the fact if we don't comprehend with reference to the makeup(rules of physic that seem to alter every day) that we are cloaked in we are able to in no way proceed. So a extra helpful question may be, How does our universe paintings? Now here is the genuine recommendations blower. There can not be in basic terms another! because of the fact each and every determination you're making might CREATED a sparkling universe! each and every thing might must be oppisite in any different case there might in basic terms be one universe. following me? ok so say you had to goto the mall, yet in the different universe you probably did not. comprehend think of of each and all of the flaws you settle on approximately on the mall and each and all of the flaws you settle on at abode or with a chum. with each and every determination there is two or 3 conceivable solutions and for each answer there might must be a universe. So for every day existence there may be billions of universe for one guy or woman. for the worldwide there may be trillions abon trillions. my answer is sure there is extra universes. yet unwell in no way see them.

Answer 4

Purgatory (the space between our universe and others) and the other universes. It's not like you could just squash universes together. That'd be total madness.

Answer 5

the only undeniable thing that is outside "the" universe is the Not-universe.

Answer 6

There -is- no outside. You (and everybody else) keep insisting on trying to apply 3 dimensional metaphores to a reality that is at least 10 dimensional (and maybe even higher).
Get a clue.

Answer 7

theres is spaces between other universe and ours. But what out side of that is not yet to be created. Now others are being created as the big bang explosion expands.

Answer 8

Other universes of course.

Answer 9

No matter where in the universe you go to, so will be still in the middle.

Answer 10

God...He abandoned us and left the Universe because He's afraid of all His Creations.
