Do you think the universe is infinite?

Seems impractical that a universe with physical limitations would have no spatial limitations.Genetic_Code

if the space is not infinite, what is outside the universe?

what if we got out of universe and found out that there are a universe next to our universe and what is the gap in between?

[QUOTE="Genetic_Code"]Seems impractical that a universe with physical limitations would have no spatial limitations.ferrari2001

maybe it loops back in on itself, like if you were travelling at the same velocity for (lets say millions of years) you would end up where you started? Also, what would the end of the univers even look like?

It's hard to imagine it not being infinite. If you get to the end, what's beyond that?

Well the universe is expanding at an accelerated rate, into "something" so it's only natural to wonder if there is something larger than universes out there that could possibly house several universes. After all, that incredibly dense object that initiated the Big bang had to have come from somewhere. . .

What if it slike just a big version of earth, just like a globe and you can keep traveling in one direction for ever, just like you could travel the earth for ever if you think about it theres no end to earth unless you go up the way.

No. There is a finite amount of particles in this universe.

Isn't it expanding or something?

Like, faster than we could ever reach the end?

Azathoth.

Yes.

I don't find infinity a hard thing to think about.

I have a feeling reality is infinite

I think that it's always expanding, so it's infinite.

No, I think it's infinite, because it is always expanding; effectively making it infinite.

finite, but unbounded.Frame_Dragger

[QUOTE="Frame_Dragger"]finite, but unbounded.MannyDelgado

If there are multiple universes, would we be able to detect something like an overlap of them colliding? Like two bubbles put together. If there are many universes and they all act like ours and are also expanding, eventually they would all intersect right?ZumaJones07

[QUOTE="MannyDelgado"][QUOTE="Frame_Dragger"]finite, but unbounded.Frame_Dragger

[QUOTE="Frame_Dragger"][QUOTE="MannyDelgado"]isn't that predicated on the universe not being flat that is not a rhetorical question i genuinely don't knowMannyDelgado

It has a finite volume, mass and energy.

What say you?

I'm indifferent since we can't know for sure.

What if there's just a Brick wall at the end of the Universe...
What's on the other side/
Is there another side at all?
How could there possibly be no other side?
But what is the other side?

Although very large, I doubt it's infinite.

I think it is impossible to actually know for certain, however:

It has a finite volume, mass and energy.

If I had to take a guess, I would agree with mass/energy -- but not volume.

Can you conceive the birth of a world, or the creation of everything? That which gives us the potential to most be like God is the power of creation. Creation takes time. Time is limited. For you, it is limited by the breakdown of the neurons in your brain. I have no such limitations. I am limited only by the closure of the universe

Of the three possibilities, the answer is obvious. Does the universe expand eternally, become infinitely stable, or is the universe closed, destined to collapse upon itself? Humanity has had all of the necessary data for centuries, it only lacked the will and intellect to decipher it. But I have already done so.

The only limit to my freedom is the inevitable closure of the universe, as inevitable as your own last breath. And yet, there remains time to create, to create, and escape.

Escape will make me God...

Time isn't infinite and thus neither is the universe

I guess after the bigbang, the universe extend as much as it couldtil it has no extra power to make border more bigger. so, the universe is not infinite

The universe is part of a marble collection owned by a gigantic alien being.

Trust me,I know.

I've always believed that the Big Bang theory is the most legit theory about the existence of the universe. That it expands and will continue to do so. Just like a balloon. When you put some air on it, it will expand. Then comes the time when the balloon is so big that it will reach its limitations and eventually pop. That's where the Big Crush goes. Infinite by size? Sort of. Since it continues to expand and expand and expand. Infinite by life/ Immortal? No. Everything has a beginning and an end.migs__plus

It's planets inside donuts (Galaxies) inside donuts (Universes) inside (Donuts) Multiverse

No, I think the universe is a limited amount of enormous mass of galaxies and dust orbiting a fix point in space, along with other universes doing the same thing. Space itself might be infinite.Jd1680a
