Why is the universe endless?

Answer 1

In Science: Yes, the universe is infinite, since it is constantly expanding.

In Theory: No, the universe is not infinite. Since space is full of curves, as theorized by Albert Einstein, maybe space is just one big curve. Maybe traveling in a straight line inevitably leads into one big curve, until we eventually end where we started. The immense gravity in the center of the universe might have pulled itself into an invisible circle that cannot be escaped. It can't be escaped because of the immense gravity of the center of the universe, but this is all in theory.

I believe that the universe has an end. But the Universe is so immensely large, that humans simply cannot grasp this concept. Humans have a very limited perspective of infinity. So, what is infinity exactly? Does it just never end? Well, it has to begin somewhere...?? This is why humans won't ever truly understand infinity. Now, at the end of the universe I have absolutely no idea what exists. Maybe you just go back to the beginning of the universe? Well that is where science meets religion. If you are Christian, which I am, heaven must exist beyond the universe. But we will never truly find out the answer to this question until we die.

No. Nothing can be infinite, as logically argued and proven by many philosophers throughout the ages, and the universe is demonstrated to be only finite by the absence of radiation with a wavelength of more than a certain amount (this amount being the size of the universe).

Answer 2

\"No one knows if the universe ends. It could end or it could not. No one has an answer.\" < I doThe consideration for whether our universe is truely endless depends on one's determination of what the universe means to them. It could be said that the universe is endless because its very determination is built upon the evolving consideration of a reality within the dimensional degrees of SpaceTime convergence. It might be stated that our perspective of universal reality is bounded by our fourth dimensional frame of reference for existence within this SpaceTime continuum. In this sense of existence, it might be stated that our universe is not infinite; for outside this fourth dimensional abstraction of the SpaceTime continuum, our reality of existence has no meaning.

The word universe is a word for Everything Everywhere Endlessly.
Some people will argue that it is not, but it is.
Get a piece of paper and a pen and:

.1 draw a circular line around the middle somewhere.

Ok now you have done that think...
If that is the universe then what is on the other side of the line?
Dark matter?, Nothing?, Space?
Even if there is nothing on the other side, you still have a word that describes Everything.

Answer 3

The theory is that after the big bang the universe is infinitely expanding and thus never ending. So after the initial explosion everything just went outwards and is still and will still. Since an object in motion stays in motion.

Answer 4

Yes in a way yes but Nobody can prove that the planets, solar systems and galexies are endless.But space is endless.Therfore the universe is endless,(Space is a part of the universe so if space is endless, so is the universe.

I am constantly thinking of this subject so i will most likely be back.

Answer 5

The consideration for whether our universe is truely endless depends on one's determination of what the universe means to them. It could be said that the universe is endless because its very determination is built upon the evolving consideration of a reality within the dimensional degrees of SpaceTime convergence. It might be stated that our perspective of universal reality is bounded by our fourth dimensional frame of reference for existence within this SpaceTime continuum. In this sense of existence, it might be stated that our universe is not infinite; for outside this fourth dimensional abstraction of the SpaceTime continuum, our reality of existence has no meaning.

Yet within the consideration of our traditional fourth dimensional existence, scientists agree that the Theories of Relativity and Special Relativity bound our universal reality with a definable SpaceTime continumm. By virtue of these theories, expectations are extrapolated. One such expectation is that once the universe was once created by the Big Bang, the universe will end in a Big Crunch. Another expectation is that once the universe was once created by the Big Bang, the universe will end in a Big Rip. Therefore, by virtue of these theories, our universe within this fourth dimensional abstraction, will eventually evolve beyond its current dimensional limitations. And, as stated before, outside this fourth dimensional abstraction for our SpaceTime continuum, our reality of existence has no meaning.

Answer 6

It probably will not exist forever. The fact is, we know very little about how the universe came into being, what conditions might have existed "before", or if the idea of "before" could have any meaning in this context.

And we don't know enough about conditions in the here-and-now to make any generally valid predictions about what might occur in the distant future.

Answer 7

No. It is expanding because something went really, really weird about 14 billion years ago (we call it the Big Bang).

Answer 8

It is not really known whether it goes on forever. It is commonly believed that the Universe is very big, much bigger than the "observable Universe", but how much bigger is not known.
