If you had the best answer to the question of "why does the universe go on forever?" how would you present it?

Question

I myself would present it in a way that was fathomable by others, then I would actually tell the person what it was.

Answer 1

Why is a very good question. I'm not going to pretend to understand God's reasoning for why we see the universe as going on forever. I think our minds are not developed enough to comprehend how vast space actually is. Time is something we conjured up, we make the calendars and clocks and divided it all into years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, seconds... into finite divisions so we can pretend to have a good grasp on what we understand as time. Space can be looked at in a similar way, distance, and our understanding of it might be too infantile. I have always pictured a grain of sand on a beach you can't see the end of, that grain of sand is our galaxy and that beach is the universe with countless galaxies and even maybe, more beaches, with more sand... How we see things might not be how things really are.

Take that single grain of sand and go as far away from it as you can, then step back and look how far you've gone, double that, then again and again. You can picture it going on and on. But when you get back to it, why, is simply unknown.

To pretend to understand the mind of God is to prove ones own lack of knowledge.

Answer 2

KISS! Or, keep it simple, stupid. It's an acronym in communications. Play to your audience. The more complicated you make it sound, the more turned off others will be. The easier it is to comprehend, the more likely you are to foster a sense of agreement. The same message can be re-packaged for a variety of audiences.

Test your own theories first. Begin with your opening premise. If you cannot find any evidence to contradict it then, move to the second and so on.

Warning: how is far better answer than why. Whys can usually be disproved.

Answer 3

i'm sorry i'm leaving this retarded answer that doesn't answer your question like you want it, but i always believed that the universe ends, and there is a 2 dimensional world beyond ours. its my little grandoise idea.
2 D worlds are actually really complicated. you can't look to the side cos all youd see is a line. you can just see out, but what do you see if you look out that way? i just think our universe is a bump on the flat plain, and i don't know where thats going to end, but thats a small portion of what i spent a whole day scheming up about. its very interesting if you think about it.

Answer 4

"GOD" is the ultimate reason for the "peace" that should be due all that he has created. Until we find a way to come to that "resolution" then we his "little creations" will continue to return. This would be called "reincarnation." I wish that all of the inhabitants of the Universe much Peace, Love and God's blessings.

Answer 5

Your answerer is good. Most people would not even fathom and answerer.

Answer 6

Since I have no special knowledge of this, I would not attempt to present an answer to something I know nothing about.

Answer 7

It doesn't matter at all how it go on,the whole universe just being exist as an obeject,it can be being as any form.

Answer 8

By inverse thinking....if it stops...what's there? Something would have to be on the other side.
