Is there somewhere an end?

Question

Is the universe somewhere ending?what do u think?And if yes...how the 'ending of the universe' looks like?

Answer 1

everything that has a beginnning has an end.

I see no beginning so I envision no end.

big bangs might be a convenient indicator of the 'end' of one cycle of the universe but it no more signifies a real end than a knot tied in a circle of rope.

Answer 2

In his later years Albert Einstein said it is all an illusion.  Here is my humble anecdote:  Build a small closed room with each wall on the inside a mirrored surface.  If you stand inside you would see hundreds of images of yourself stretching off in all directions.  As you looked at the ones in the distance they would get smaller and smaller and then you couldn't see them.  Get some binoculars and more will be visible but then too they would disappear due to their smallness.  Now increase the power of the binoculars and you will see more.  You can, theoretically keep doing this forever, so it too would seem without end.  But it too is an illusion.

Uncoolmom, that's a pretty cool answer

Answer 3

There are different point of views. I personally feel that we can see ourselves in a huge glass beaker but don't really know whether we are inside of it or outside.

Some compare the end with the example of balloon. Take a dark blue balloon and mark it with 100 white dots. Then blow it. All the dots/galaxies will drift away and distance will increase. At one level the balloon will burst. But it is just a theory.

Answer 4

when you bump your head against the wall....and you see stars !!!

haha.

the point is, have you done enough in your life so this idea sounds like interesting for you.

Answer 5

My understanding of physics/cosmology is limited, but i heard that universe is finite.

Because it is finite, i believe there is an "end".
