“If you go in any one direction long enough, you just return to your starting point.”. As for the structures themselves, they could be literally anything: Amazingly huge accumulations of matter and energy (on scales we can hardly imagine) or even bizarre warps in space-time that are funneling gravitational forces from other universes. So an answer is not really given. I always try to think about what would “be” if our universe (or any universes as it may be), did not exist. Share The " City Outside the Universe " is a supernatural location which supposedly exists outside the flow of time, and it is where everything the time anomalies absorb is taken to. This only really applies if the universe has a closed, finite geometry (in at least one direction). But don’t worry, that region is billions of light years away, and it’s probably not another universe anyway, we just need better observations. As Fraser Cain from Universe Today explains, one possibility is that it's expanding into an unfathomable cosmic void called the multiverse, which harbours not just our own Universe, but a multitude of parallel universes. Some parts of the universe are too far away for the light emitted since the Big Bang to have had enough time to reach Earth or its scientific space-based instruments, and therefore lie outside the observable universe. The universe (Latin: universus) is all of space and time and their contents, including planets, stars, galaxies, and all other forms of matter and energy.While the spatial size of the entire universe is unknown, it is possible to measure the size of the observable universe, which is currently estimated to be 93 billion light-years in diameter. The continuous expansion of new time and space takes place entirely within the singularity – there is no such thing as an outside the singularity for spacetime to expand into. Outside of that we have no idea. Finally, all of the constituents of our universe are accelerating, via gravity, to the edges of our universe due to a large amount of gravitationally significant material that exists at it’s margins (and further). Also, the actual universe is much much much bigger than the observable universe. If something was outside the Universe, it would also be part of the Universe too. I’m no expert, but it seems to me this is mistakenly, and somewhat haphazardly blending many aspects of physics which is an impossible no no. These 93 some-odd billion light-years contain all of the quarks, quasars, stars, planets, nebulae, black holes…and everything else that we could possibly observe; however, the observable universe only contains the light that has had time to reach us. Clearly the question of “What is outside the Universe?” involves deep questions about space and time themselves. I believe there is a finite or “Collapsing universe” model which shows this statement to be true, but we don’t observe enough mass or gravity within the universe to close it, so the model hasn’t achieved wide acceptance. Imagine an empty container. Summing their gravitational components from their masses using the gravitational equation we would arrive at some number for this 10cc cube. The speed of light is just that — a speed — and the universe … In other words we are all sort of projectors projecting our ideas of reality and these collective ideas actually make up the universe. Because my comment was “already submitted” (supposedly) it is not being allowed. Also, where does this heat go at the peripheries? Seriously, every single one of them is more reasonable and more likely than what I’m about to say. Now, since the electron is quite voluminous (as it contains only one photon, no other particles), imagine if the volume of the electron were to be reduced to the volume of it’s constituent photon. Not true. Pair formation of 1.0216 MeV gammarays (“the creation operator”) should be adequate to populate the universe with matter given enough time, as the 13.8 billion year limit would not apply in this case. Sorry, your blog cannot share posts by email. In fact, this “other you” may be reading this article right now; the only difference is that they just picked their nose while you didn’t (or did you?). So, in some ways, infinity makes sense. I thought the current thinking is that the geometry of the universe was not spherical and that parallel lines diverge to infinity, so the idea that if you go far enough you end up where you stated from was an old fashion idea. The inside and outside are not “parts” of the box, anymore than space and time are “parts” of the Universe. It is that which is waiting to be filled with something, as of volume. the inside of the universe is what's outside of the universe . Densely packed photons, hnu, or energy The same stuff that not only makes up everything in our universe (all particles can eventually be reduced to their photons), but that which exists at the boundary of our cavitary bubble, and beyond, being responsible for the gravitational field into which everything is subsequently being drawn (calculate the resultant gravitational vectors inside of a hollow sphere in a large cube of very dense material). So that’s a given, but it’s also a philosophical and subjective opinion, because frankly we still don’t know what could exactly qualify as life. He said that “without motion, nothing happens”. This is my first and only comment on this article. We have no idea, but imagine what might happen as the laws of physics from two completely different universes overlap. We understand some of the PROPERTIES of space and time but we don’t really know how to DEFINE them. Of course, this sounds like pseudo scientific mumbo jumbo, and next you’ll expect me to talk about chakras, astrology and channeling the spirit of Big Foot. One theory suggests that the great beyond of our universe might simply … Whereas Multiverse Theory is by and large related to the many worlds theory of Quantum Physics. Astronomers think space outside of the observable universe might be an infinite expanse of what we see in the cosmos around us, distributed pretty much the same as it is in … There is also something called “non-local motion”. The definition of the Universe is that it contains everything. Anyway, there are lots of ideas for what the Axis of Evil might be. What is the average of 7 and green? @fowlowl1955: The universe began as an infinitesimally small dimensionless point called a singularity and we observe this point to be located about 47.5 billion light years away in every direction in our 13.8 billion year-old universe. “If you go in any one direction long enough, you just return to your starting point” In the vast majority of those universes, no life could ever form, but roll the dice an infinite number of times and you’ll eventually get the conditions for life. All that we can see and measure. The "outside the universe" question gets tricky right off the bat, because first you have to define the universe. Our existence nothing more than a few seconds in the view of this cosmic child? Space outside space that extends infinitely into what our little bubble of a universe may expand into forever. What would “exist” if anything….and if nothing existed, how do we picture it..or, like a 4th or higher dimension, can we picture it? But what is the Universe expanding into ? We know how to use them (add, subtract, multiply divide, etc) but their DEFINITION is actually kind of complicated; mathematically they are defined in terms of Cauchy sequences or Dedekind cuts. We just mock up something else and that is what will be. Those several paragraphs succinctly explained a very complex and varied topic into a neat consistent picture of how the more obscure aspects of matter work. What IS space? That means that, if this holds true and we follow it to its logical conclusion, somewhere out there, there is another person who is identical to you in every possible way, and there is also a you who is only slightly different from you in every possible way (one is an inch shorter; one got hit by a bus 5 years ago and died; one has a missing finger etc.). @Jond: I completely agree that the quote “If you go in any one direction long enough, you just return to your starting point” is false and archaic. Humans tried to uncover the entire universe in ancient times. There are actually a bunch of physical constants in the Universe, like the force of gravity or the binding strength of atoms. For some reason this totally intrigues me……and for some crazy reason, if nothing existed, I picture infinite “yellow”. And in the open air our universes matter and energy etc will be at the mercy of whatever laws of the Outerverse inflict upon us. Lying hundreds of billions of light years from us could be other island universes much like our own. The initial answer to whether the universe is infinite or finite is a resounding… we don’t know. All I can offer is a hint from Einstein. Outside the bounds of our universe may lie a "super" universe. But regarding the intelligence argument. But then, infinity is rather inconceivable. Everything is part of the Universe. That’s a lot of universe that we are missing. The laws of the universes fighting or joining together sending everything into a chaotic jumble till it all resettles into a new larger universe. No particles. Still, what is beyond that? Essentially, since its inception, the cosmos has been growing at an ever increasing rate. But this heat energy must have come from something, so would photon decay be the source of this energy? Astronomers think space outside of the observable universe might be an infinite expanse of what we see in the cosmos around us, distributed pretty much the same as it is in the observable universe. so do photons (only while moving {no rest mass} which is going to be a hard one to measure given their speed and linear orientation through the Higgs field, however in a circular course {like around a black hole} their mass should be measurable)! Of course, how to prove it? Podcast (audio): Download (Duration: 5:33 — 2.4MB), Podcast (video): Download (Duration: 5:48 — 75.8MB). True nothing can not exist. The Omniverse is the collection of every single universe, multiverse, megaverse, dimension (alternate or pocket) and realm. Or the Macroscopic environment. Outside the universe there is no space, therefore there are no dimensions. Our universe exists inside a cavitary bubble created by the shock wave of a singular event in a medium of significant density (non-particulate) that resulted from the resolution of a higher energy state to a lower energy state (an explosion as it were) in that medium not unlike Feynman’s solution for detonating the plutonium bomb (implosion{creates particulate matter}/explosion {creates the bubble}). What is outside the Universe ? For each one of those basic constants, it’s as if the laws of physics randomly rolled the dice, and came up with our Universe – a place that’s almost, but not completely hostile to life. If so, is it the same kind of nothing that exists between galaxies, stars, planets and moons? However, hang on a second, this might actually be science. It could be that the size of the entire Universe is infinite and there is nothing outside of it, or that there are more Universes. Pair formation of 1.0216 MeV gammarays (“the creation operator”) should be adequate to populate the universe with matter given enough time, as the 13.8 billion year limit would not apply in this case. Roughly 13.75 billion years ago, our universe came into existence. Pair formation of 1.0216 MeV gammarays (“the creation operator”) should be adequate to populate the universe with matter given enough time, as the 13.8 billion year limit would not apply in this case. This is a mis-framed question akin to “what is outside the box?”. Any lifeform capable of perceiving the Universe had to evolve into a universe capable of life.

Essentially the same stuff of black holes. Outerverse? Nothing? The .html file gives a link to the .pdf, and also contains additional information such as updates and comments. The inside and outside are not “parts” of the box, anymore than space and time are “parts” of the Universe. Outside lies an empty void. Our entire universe was but a tiny speck of this underlying reality, that’s how “dense” the energy is in the underlying reality “outside” our universe. Unfortunately, since we can’t see it or measure it, we don’t know what lies beyond the bounds of the observable universe. The true boundary of our Universe can’t be seen. ☆ What is Outside the Universe ?!? What we know with certainty is that the Big Bang occurred 13.8 billion years ago, meaning that is the age of the universe. The secret, but the vastness of the universe is unimaginable to humans. Universe, the whole cosmic system of matter and energy of which Earth, and therefore the human race, is a part.Humanity has traveled a long road since societies imagined Earth, the Sun, and the Moon as the main objects of creation, with the rest of the universe being formed almost as an afterthought. Every. I question why someone would include it in a current cosmology article. After all, it doesn’t make sense that one section of the universe would be different than what we see around us. • Imagine yourself as a fish in an ocean. You need observers in order to force infinite quantum possibilities into a single reality, fixed into place moment by moment, inadvertently creating time, perhaps. Makes me think the author was celebrating 420 day. I wonder, couldn’t we also consider the thermodynamic aspects? This medium? However, due to the inflation of the universe, as well as the apparently accelerating expansion of every observable corner of the universe, the most distant light we have been able to detect is from roughly 46 billion light-years in every direction. Because the following comment was “already submitted” (supposedly) it is not being allowed. The EPR paradox is an example. Or 26 and unicorn dreams? Out side of THAT? This is much harder to visualize then that you end up where you started from. This is like a problem with real numbers. The cosmological principle states that the distribution of mat… To break this down, according to special relativity, objects that are close together cannot move faster than the speed of light with respect to one another; however, there is no such law for objects that are extremely distant from one another when the space between them is, itself, expanding. @Mr Whizard: Our universe is enclosed within a singularity, an infinitesimally small dimensionless point. At this juncture, the universe itself was also expanding. This is no more than an exercise in mental masturbation by an impotent entity. Pair formation of 1.0216 MeV gammarays (“the creation operator”) should be adequate to populate the universe with matter given enough time, as the 13.8 billion year limit would not apply in this case. This includes not only Marvel Comics, but also DC Comics, Image, Dark Horse, Archie, Harvey, Shueisha, Boom Studios, Rebellion, Dynamite, IDW, Graphic India, Derby Pop, Vertigo, Oni Press, Udon, Valiant, and every universe ever mentioned or seen (and an infinite amount never mentioned or seen) inclu… In the future, light from distant galaxies will have had more time to travel, so additional regions will become observable. To make it simple, we don't really know. My understanding is that this has to do with the three dimensional geometry of the universe. It's just that the universe is expanding so quick. So imagine all these different bubble universes popping up in this vast cosmic foam of the multiverse, and the laws of physics are different. The "observable" Universe is literally that. Some believe that the whole of our universe could exist in a small “bubble” in the midst of a vast array of other bubbles. Outside of that? Now scale the whole shebang from infinite to infinitesimal. But “infinity” means that, beyond the observable universe, you won’t just find more planets and stars and other forms of material…you will eventually find every possible thing. How can the universe be 93 billion light-years across if it is only 13.8 billion years old? This means that, at present, we know that the universe i… But this is a question most people don’t even think about, like the question of “Why is there a horizon?”. T the time the Holy Quran was revealed, the human understanding of the nature of the cosmos and the movement or the stillness of the heavenly bodies was extremely primitive and obscure. The exact size of the universe is unknown. Yeah, this is the one I like. Your response is a lie because you didn’t like a comment I posted on another article. Still Universe. So take motion as the box, and then define space and time in terms of derived properties of motion. When examining the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation, the afterglow leftover from the Big Bang, astronomers have found a temperature fluctuations. JS. 1976). Pesqueeb bicycle in airplane hangar. So we live in a kind of baked bread multi-verse with all of the holes in the baked dough representing the many universes and the dough representing the stuff that lies between them all (densely packed photons) from which everything is made. That question is what drives research, as well as natural human curiosity. So, as matter is consumed, whether into photos at black holes, or via fusion or fission in solar bodies, etc., heat is produced along with photons. Theorists call this a “multiverse.” Interestingly, the idea asserts that these universes can come into contact with one another—gravity can flow between these parallel universes, and when they connect, a Big Bang like the one that created our universe may occur. You blew my mind but also gave me a something to hang my hat on. Let’s ask, what is beyond our observable Universe? It goes on later to blend in the idea of the Anthropic Principle I believe it’s called that basically says that conditions for life to exist must be present for life to be present. They'd be 120 miles apart. Very shortly thereafter, primordial light started shooting across the cosmos and spreading throughout the early universe. There are a lot more out there but, I understand and agree that registration on or use of this site constitutes agreement to its User Agreement and Privacy Policy. In other words, it is non-local in the same sense that quantum objects are non-local. What IS time? We know that it is at the origin of the universe, that the universe came out of it, and that this renders it … Indeed they have, and they’ve found something really strange. Because the universe also began as a singularity, time itself could not have existed before the Big Bang. At some point in time the cavitary bubble will cease to expand and will then contract (could be happening now…). The narrative is only possible b/c of the observer(s), “Duplicate comment detected; it looks as though you’ve already said that!”. If not, then the universe is the limit. Then of course there’s the quantum physics answer, which is: The universe is basically made of thought-forms. It may just as easily be infinite in extent; we can’t really tell. In fact, consciousness exists outside of constraints of time and space. • In 1929, American Astronomer, Edwin Hubble discovered the Red shift of galaxies which indicated Expansion of this Universe. Both have strong skeletons built with precision, and both have the outward appearance of something alive and vital. I love this topic. In short, it’s not that objects are traveling faster than the speed of light, but that the space between objects is expanding, causing them to fly away from each other at amazing speeds. (Although “past” and “future” have very little meaning outside our universe.) This doesn't mean the universe is expanding faster than the speed of light. This is kinda the same questions as “what is out universe expanding into?”. Whatever or whoever ends up in the city is erased from the flow time as if they never existed, and is therefore forgotten about. This is no longer the case, as our knowledge of the universe has considerably advanced and expanded by the present age. This notion seems inconceivable. Comment: Or maybe the background red shift is caused by photon energy loss, from absorption and re-emission, refraction, gravitational lensing, interference, dispersion, and even the Poynting-Robertson Effect if there is an infinitisimal mass associated with the photon (see Goldhaber, Alfred and Nieto, Michael, “The Mass of the Photon,” Scientific American, May While most of these differences in temperature are explained by the current cosmological theories for the Universe, there’s one region that defies the theories. Yet, we will continue to accelerate to the margins, under the gravitational pull (in our hollow, cavitary sphere), and ultimately merge with and into the stuff (energy, photons, hnu, however you’d like to define it) that exists there (which may also be occurring and may actually be responsible for some of the information gathered by COBE as some of our particulate matter gets consumed by the margins.). Who captured our contents and put them in the bubble? But if we looked inside either one, we’d actually see a mess of random wires … Upon this bursting, everything will dissolve into the open air so to say. Hi PUNCHCARD4GTAC, Notably, recent analyses have claimed to debunk the dark flow model, but this debunking is still being disputed. Or maybe the background red shift is caused by photon energy loss, from absorption and re-emission, refraction, gravitational lensing, interference, dispersion, and even the Poynting-Robertson Effect if there is an infinitisimal mass associated with the photon (see Goldhaber, Alfred and Nieto, Michael, “The Mass of the Photon,” Scientific American, May 1976). Albert Einstein, US (German-born) physicist (1879 – 1955). Cosmologists estimate that the oldest photons that we can observe have traveled a distance of 45-47 billion light-years since the Big Bang. The visible diameter of the universe we are in has reached 93 billion light-years. We have a long way to go to find the answers.
