When you get to the edge of the universe - what is beyond?

Question

When you get to the edge of the universe - what is beyond?

Answer 1

You would never reach the edge of the universe and if you did well you would be on to your great-great-great-great-great-great-grea... grand-child being the pilot....and when he reached the end (it he does) then into another universe i guess and so on and so on until u get a girl that doesn't want to have s*x with her brother or dad!!! LOL!!!

Answer 2

No one knows--

However the latest string theory says their could be a total of 11 Universes-- with our Universe as one of them.

Answer 3

if you go to the edge of the universe you will find a number of other universes with there solar systems as it is in our universe

Answer 4

Possibly a time warp where you start going forward or backwards in time, not further.  

Answer 5

More of the same.

Answer 6

The universe encompasses all matter and energy.  Therefore there can be nothing 'outside' of the universe.  It is a concept the human mind finds difficult to comprehend but it is non the less the only answer.

Answer 7

Heaven and h**l

Answer 8

No body knows, its a magic trick.

Answer 9

More likely the same.. another universe perhaps..

Answer 10

Current theory includes the idea that space is finite, but curved. Like standing on the Earth, you can move in any of two directions - left/right and back/forth, or any combination. However far your travel tho, you never encounter an 'edge' to the Earth. Therefore we can say the surface of the Earth is finite (it's only so big), but unbounded (there is no edge or start/stop to it). This is a two-dimensional shape (left/right, back/forth).

The Universe is exactly the same, except it's in three dimensions (left/right, back/forth and up/down). You can travel in any of these three directions (or any combination) and never encounter an 'edge'. If the Unverse were not expanding, you could eventually return to where you left, like on the Earth. But since it is expanding, and faster than you could travel, you would go in a straight line forever without reaching your beginning again. But it would still be 'finite but unbounded'.

It's difficult to visualize, since we don't encounter such shapes in daily life. But that doesn't make it any less true.

my house. i h8 walkin home:@ lol

Answer 12

a leylandi conifer hedge (very tall)

Answer 13

1st Heaven- The atmosphere

2nd Heaven- The cosmos; beyond that is what we call the 3rd Heaven.

2 Corinthians 12:2-5

Answer 14

Beyond the universe is The Footstool of Allah, the Lord of the Universe. I have tangible proof for those men of understanding. The universe is made of seven heavens. All that is visible in the night sky (all stars) is within the first heaven. This is the creation of your Lord and my Lord, who is the best to create, who created the universe with Might and Power. If you want a more detailed explanation of what is above the 7th heaven write to me. Check out the links below.

Answer 15

a Wal-Mart superstore, and a Starbucks

Answer 16

the 5th dimension  

Answer 17

There is no physical 'edge' that you run into or fall off.  Instead, there is simply a distance from the Earth beyond which everything is expanding away from the Earth faster than light.  That means everything beyond this distance is unreachable from, and invisible to, Earth.

Answer 18

no one knows, but it's the same thing that waits for us 10 seconds from now - nothingness, until it gets here

Answer 19

The Universe doesn't have an 'edge' in the sense you're thinking of. You can't just fly in one direction and suddenly crash into an invisible wall that marks the place where the Universe ends. Depending on how you think about it, the edge of the Universe is either nowhere, or it is everywhere but in a direction you can't point. The Universe's three-dimensional space is like the two-dimensional surface of a balloon: If you move in one direction you eventually arrive back where you started, and in order to escape out of the surface of the balloon you have to move in a direction where the balloon's plastic isn't. For our universe, this is equivalent to moving in a direction where space isn't, which of course you can't do. The 'edge' is a barrier, but a four-dimensional one.

That said, if anything can be said to lie 'beyond the edge of the Universe', it would probably be other universes. It appears rather likely that other universes do exist.

Answer 20

The universe goes forever.

Answer 21

There is no edge.  There is no "beyond."  Think of it like the surface of the earth.  There is no edge, and if confined to the surface, there is no beyond.

Answer 22

can you describe the edge of a ballon or a ball? you can not because there are no edges on this case. all the visible and non visible galaxies lie on the outer surface of our expanding cosmic ball. as the expanding increase as it looks that galaxies ran far from each others.  

Answer 23

The universe is infinite, there is no edge to it.

Some theorists say if you could travel for long enough in one direction you would end up back where you started as the universe has a curve to it that no one can see, and you would travel all the way around the universe as if it was a do-nut shape and end up where you started. Though it would take Billions and billions of years to do so.
