  1. i think it does, everyting has an end


  2. If by end you mean that the universe will someday cease to exist, the answer is yes.  At least it won't exist as we know it today.

    The process is called entropy. Current theories suggest that energy will dissipate (long after all of the matter has ceased to exist) and the universe will consist of nothing but lower and lower energy levels of radio waves.

    Eventually, when the universe is nothing but a dark low hum of radio waves even time itself will begin to fragment and the universe will exist as a fragmented empty void.

  3. yes. although it is currently expandin, yes it does have an end. everything has an end to it whether itz expandin or not. here iz an example: people r constantly growin, or expandin, rite? just think of it like this, the beginning of the human body is the feet and the end of the human is the head.

  4. Sorry theres an end to everything!

  5. Depends on whether you mean time wise or spatially.

    If you meant spatially...

    Now, the two theories are that the universe is infinite in size or the universe is finite in size but unbounded. If the universe is infinite than obviously it has no edge and therefore no end.

    The second theory that the universe is finite but unbounded means it has a certain size but has no edge. Geometrically this makes little sense, but think of it this way. If I were to take a space ship in an absolutely strait line from Earth I would end up right back at Earth coming from the opposite direction I left from. Have you ever played an old video game where if you fly off the map you end up on the opposite side? Its like that. Its whats known as a hypersphere... a sphere with another dimension. That means no end.

    If you meant time wise...

    The Big Bang is the most excepted theory explaining the origin of the universe as we know it, but this may not be the beginning. We have no idea whether this was the beginning, if there have been many Big Bangs, or if we are part of a much bigger "megaverse".

    As for the end of the universe, there are several theories but the best is the Heat Death theory. The universe is expanding at an exponential rate so once all the hydrogen runs out, stars stop forming, and the universe goes dark most ordinary matter will end up in black holes. Over hundreds of billions of years those black holes will evaporate via Hawking radiation into a cloud of subatomic particles. A trillion years from now the universe will only be a bunch of microscopic particles spread evenly over a nearly infinite universe. That will be the end of the universe as we know it.

  6. Don't wish so if you wanted to live on

  7. No. The aliens told me.

  8. Although that we won't be able to live to find out.

    I'll just put in in philosophy, if theres a beginning then there will be an end.(or something like that)

    Example will be: You and i are borned, one day we die.(sorry for being a little dramatic, but human was the first thing that came to my mind)
