Think about this... If you travel and travel trillions of light years away from Earth, do you think there is an end to Space? Does Space go in every direction for infinity, like up, down, left, right? It is so strange to actually think about this question. Also, if it does go forever, why hasn't there been any contact with anything other than us here on Earth? Or do we come in contact with things from beyond Earth everyday and we just don't know it. You know what is cool also, human beings have been on earth for millions of years, and just in the past hundred have we been to outer space. Pretty Crazy if you ask me...

if one believes in the big bang then there must be a limit to our universe out there on the fringes and if i recall correctly, it was mapped or found a few years ago (the background "bang" of the big bang) ...or what some scientists think is the edge of the expansion. but if you are of the christian-judean background, you might think of it as a neverending or a universal universe. but then you would have to block any chance of there being alternative universes as there wouldn't be enough room left, being that this universe is universal...uni, latin for one and versal latin for...ummm...vessel...yeah, that's it vessel. uni-vessal...one ship. so there ya go...

my brain hurts now...but one more thought on this before i medicate...i just can not fathom the fact that we are on the one and only plane in the one and only one universe...let alone the 'fact' that eternity is decided upon solely by our belief's during this short life period we're currently experiencing...

When scientists speak of the universe expanding or retracting, they're talking about all it's matter, NOT space itself. I don't think there's an ending to space, a limit seems far more unlikely, I mean it's not like there's a wall there.

Is there any evidence that the Big Bang was the only Bang? Maybe there were others but they are so far away that their light hasn't reached us yet.

My theory, like that of many scientist, is that the space is always expanding, expanding at a rate that too fast to actually caculate. But...to me...it is very hard to think that something like space has no end...very. I ponder about this so much...man it's just so confusing. Something like the fact there is no gravity out there, and that there is no up or down or any sense of direction, is something that I can imagine. But space being endless, without any boundries? Subjects like astronomy, the Big Bang Theory, and space really interest me. New question: Does anyone think that their could possibly be other dimensions?

I think that the Big Bang Theory is based on the very first one, the very beginning of the universe. The one that made it possible for everything to exist, from the numerous stars to the various gases and elements.

I think all the things mentioned are possible, plus many we haven't thought of or can comprehend. We've only been down from the trees for about 100,000 years, and have barely managed to survive without killing ourselves through sheer stupidity. To believe we have the answers to some of these questions is award winning arrogance.

That we dare to speculate at least shows there's some hope.

I read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and it brought up a very good theory/point. Space is never ending but with the human mind is placed restrictions. We always think of HOW big or small something is. So therefore space really has no size, it is just the human mind placing restrictions on something.(anyone get what I'm saying)

It began when God was smoking some really strong bud and started thinking, "wouldnt it be funny to create a universe with units called atoms, that will eventually bring about life and then humans? And the humans will think that they are smoking some really good shit but little do they know the kind of shit I'm on? Hah Hah Hah" So he coughed up a loogie and it became the universe.

Kind of arrogant of mankind to think that they know such a vast amount about the universe when we haven't even put a foot on the closest planet to us.

Space will extend as far as you travel. The reason being there is no void space, so its really a misleading term. All space is filled with matter or energy of some sort.

But to your question, you could travel as far as you want, and space will keep on extending with you if you are the furtherst away from the center point.

You guys got it all wrong.

Remember, we have only 5 senses with which we are able to experience 'life' as we know it.

Take sound for example....the human ear can hear only a very small spectrum of sound frequencies. A dog for example can hear sound frequencies we never hear.

Take sight for example....an elephant will see the world 500X more blurry and slow than an eagle. Again, the human eye can see only a small spectrum of lights. However, if we use tools, like, Xrays, we can then 'see' a new dimension.

The point being, we are able to experience all that is with only 5 senses, and, those same 5 senses are very limited in their scope and capabilities. Oh so very limited.

If you really want to know whats 'going on out there', don't look to the stars...

You need to look for the 6th sense. And its all around you.

Happy soul searching....

...universe expanding or retracting, they're talking about all it's matter
Yes! You are CORRECTSIR! [/Ed McMahon]


ending to space... not like there's a wall there
My brain is not capable of comprehending the infinite nature of space, so I don't know. But what if there WAS a wall? Would there be only ONE side of it (the side we "run into" at the bounds of the universe), or does a wall necessarily have to have TWO sides? If space ends at our side of the wall, what do you call the other side of the wall...? lol)


Hardon- are you sure you didn't...

nm, lol. Maybe the thread starter asked the wrong question!

Sense young dealing with infinity and its ramifications has been a headache. I agree with the limits for the human mind, we are linier time creatures and the universe is not, science I believe knows that certain things can be in two places at one time, this equals time travel and therefore not linier. This supports dimensions in the universe seem pretty probable to me, also related to perception, parallel dimensions is another thing, a guy in another universe just like me but comprised of a whole different set of decisions.

I think life is cheep and abundant in the universe, water is everywhere and so is light and elements. On the humans going into space the last 100 tears, science already knows the modern human brain has existed for at least 250 thousand years, if we know it only took us 10 thousand years to go from stone age to space that means we have probably done this at least 25 times sense then, with the church trying to stop us as much as possible.

Hmm, I had never thought of it like that before. I have always considered life to be VALUABLE and PRECIOUS, instead of CHEAP and ABUNDANT


But yeah, that'd be crazy, man.

Sadly, I think we'll never know. This could have happened millions of times now. We could have evolved way past our technology time and time again and have been wiped out by one of the trillions of things that can do such. This exact same question could have happend during the last big bang, or the one before that (if you believe in this theory) and we will never know.

If you honestly believe we're alone in this crazy thing we call space, then you're an insane. We're just a grain of sand on a beach, we're nothing.

To go back to the question about a wall, maybe the universe and beyond is sort of like "The Truman Show" where we are all part of a universal TV show, and our world around us is just the set. Maybe one day someone will reach the end and see a door, and "god" will tell them that they can live here and live the rest of their life out in peace and harmony. Then the man/or woman will open the door to the real world and that will be the end of the series. Whoa.

HARDDON
04-18-2005, 02:46 PM
You see the universe as a place far away and large and a lot of empty space and question does it end...is there other life....whats one the other side.....

Everything we 'see', we are 'seeing' with 2 eyes. Thats it. Two eyeballs limited in the spectrum and the vibrations we can sense.

In this whole massive place called the universe, do you really think that two human eyeballs can 'see' what is really there????

Our eyes are so primitive, the only purpose they serve is to allow us to find food and avoid danger.

The 6th sense people....what is it for?

Do not believe that your eyes give you a true representation of the universe and whats out there.

It is not the things we CAN see that give you answers....

apparently there has been a neverending cycle of "big bangs" that all follow the same pattern, ie, the bang, continual expansion and then shrinking back down to the 'blob' of atoms that are the building blocks of the universe, this blob then explodes and it all begins again.

question is; if these atoms are the start of everything, where did they come from?
everything AFTER the bang is easily explained

i am a man of science, but NO ONE knows the answer to this one.

in religion, of course, this easily explained, god made it (like,duh,man!)
Monotheistic religions generally maintain this notion;
2000 years ago jesus stated, shortly before his death, that he must "tend to his other flocks". The Q'uaran (bible of islam) makes reference to seven worlds with people in gods image, this is one of them.
I have no idea what the talmud has to say about it, as its fucking strange and i cant make head nor tail of it...

but basically all this kind of shit has made me wonder about my "hard line scientific" upbringing, but then again i dont have a clue really, and i dont think anyone ever will.

but sure fuck it, this stuff makes many a head hurt, hit a bong for me mofos

Just a thought...

If the Universe is infinite, that means that an infinite number of EVERY possibility exists in it. You can't dispute that.

So... there must be somewhere where someone created something that will destroy the universe in 1 second... it didn't happen though did it?

ermitonto
04-18-2005, 04:30 PM
Or perhaps a machine that can destroy the entire universe in 1 second, i.e. causing transfer of information much much faster than the speed of light in defiance of the laws of physics, is an impossibility.

Im blazed but ill try and explain my theory. Space is nothing. Nothing is simply the absence of something. Sure there are planets, glaxies, and all sorts of shit in the space but they are not space, they are just in space. Space is just the area that these objects have the potential to occupy. And if the number of these objects keeps getting bigger and they keep showing up farther and farther away, there must be some vacuum for them to expand in at such a high rate for eternity. Now I dont believe these objects will continue to appear deeper into space forever, i believe that there will eb a big crunch. But that space that they had the bility to occupy will still be there.

Okay, so most of you guys understand the "Big Bang Theory", right? This is my theory on why scientist believe that space is constantly expanding: Take my "water ballon theory" for example. Imagine a tiny water ballon that is so condensed with water that the water pressure inside is uncaculatible. Also, this water ballon is very unstable. Then all of a sudden, it explodes and water goes in every direction at once! (Note: There is no gravity) Like I said, the very condensed water (energy) pressure was uncaculatible so, the water continuously expands in every direction, like space.

"close you eyes and steach out your hands.....how do you know where they are? Go on a white knuckle ride and tell me that everything you experianced was down to the 5 senses...."
i rewad that scientist are starting to believe we have at least 21 senses....because they are dividing these senses up into smaller catigorys...for example taste can be split into sweet, sour, salt, bitter and umami......sight could be split into light, red green, blue.

how is the universe end?
i read into this and this is what im into.....
untill recently science people thought that there were two ways the universe would end.....either the universe woule become so dense that gravity (the most dominant force) would halt the expasion of the universe from the big bang, if this is the case we would experiance a "big crush" where everythin would be pulled back together
or
the expasion would carry on forever....

but then in 1998 astronomers discovered that the universe's expansion isnt if fact slowing down but rather speeding up! this would condem us to oblivion. however because no one actually knows what is causing the expansion to speed up. Astronomers have called this force "dark energy" which is still a complete mystery.

(btw i dont really know where this is going so if you are bored of reading id stop now.)

they think that in 6 billion years time the sun will have swolen up big enough to boil our oceans and possibly even swallow up the planet. The sun will then having used up all its nuclear fuel will shrink to about the size of earth leaving our planet if it still exists cold enough to be covered in nitrogen ice! BUT at least it will look pretty: gas blown into space will be energised by the ultraviolet rays from the now small sun...i think they are called white dwarves or somthing?....but the small sun will energise the gas making the earth be surrounded by a glowing multi coloured nebula.

Our galaxy is in for a rough time too...we are heading towards slightly larger spiral called Andromanda. It is thought that we could collide in as little as 3 billion years.If this hapened........................................... ............

Yeah, the sun will eventually become a white dwarve. But if the energy it holds ever goes unstable, the sun's remaining energy may become dark matter, and you know what that leads to:

A BLACK HOLE

If the sun doesn't become a black hole it'll explode, which will leave behind enormous fields of powerful energy and dust. After that, slowly after a few billion years, the dust and energy will slowly form back together, thus forming another sun. <This is I think, all based on scientific studies, not theories. But human existance will probably cease by than anyway. But when the sun weakens, I think we may slowly go into another "Ice Age" and then after that, the sun's gravitational fields will weaken, causing us to drift out of our orbit into deep black space. But I'm thinking that the coldness isn't what kills us, but the high speeds that will cause our atmosphere to simply blow off the Earth's surface, leaving us with the most powerfullest wind storms and no breathable oxygen.

What do you think will wipe out the world? Even scientists have said that it's not a case of if, it's a case of when. They reckon we'll be hit by a huge asteroid or something and we'll be wiped out like the dinosaurs. Or something will go wrong with the sun and we'll all be fried.

I was under the impression that it would take a sun 100 X the size of our own to summon the force capable of creating a black hole. This is what I was taught (please tell me if anything Im saying is incorrect, Im completely open to criticism), suns such as our (size), that use all their energy go through a stage of dieing where they expand (red wolf), the sun will expand to the point where it takes the orbits of mercury, venus and earth with it.

Suns about 10 X the size that start to die go may become a super nova and ultimately a pulsar (very fast spinning mass which magnifies weight to the point in which a feather would weigh a tonne, due to gravity).

And of course there are the super suns (100 X the size of our own) that have such a massive weight, when they collapse the energy is great enough to create a black hole. Apparently, scientists believe there are a few renegade black holes larger than anything we could even begin top comprehend getting around swallowing up entire galaxies, moving at speeds almost as fast as light.

Anyway, to the question at hand, I believe we still have a lot to learn and that there are a lot of things we arnt considering (involving our universe), we as humans have intelligence but Im sure there are boundaries as to what we can learn. Im sure there are things we cant see or comprehend that. As far as we know there could be forms of life from other planets flowing right through us, evolution (apparently) has made us the way we are so whats to stop another planet having some form of life that isnt what we interpret as physical. oops steered off a bit lol
Anyway, there are limitless possibilities to what is actually going on with our universe as a whole, we could all be way off but the universe isnt static and continually moving and changing so it wont be like this forever...

The sun could never become a black hole, and dark matter is nothing to do with black holes, it is only theoretical for now. A black hole is simply a lump of extremely compressed matter.

Anyway, to the question at hand, I believe we still have a lot to learn and that there are a lot of things we arnt considering (involving our universe), we as humans have intelligence but Im sure there are boundaries as to what we can learn. Im sure there are things we cant see or comprehend that. As far as we know there could be forms of life from other planets flowing right through us, evolution (apparently) has made us the way we are so whats to stop another planet having some form of life that isnt what we interpret as physical. oops steered off a bit lol
Anyway, there are limitless possibilities to what is actually going on with our universe as a whole, we could all be way off but the universe isnt static and continually moving and changing so it wont be like this forever...

Sorry for the misinfomation. It would actually take a sun (star) the minimum of 10 times that of ours to become a black hole.

The sun could never become a black hole, and dark matter is nothing to do with black holes, it is only theoretical for now. A black hole is simply a lump of extremely compressed matter.
Yeah, you are correct. A black hole has nothing to do with dark matter. I guess I got carried away with my theories.

Mankind will not remain on Earth forever, but in its quest for light and space will at first timidly penetrate beyond the confines of the atmosphere, and later will conquer for itself all the space near the Sun.

What do you think will wipe out the world? Even scientists have said that it's not a case of if, it's a case of when. They reckon we'll be hit by a huge asteroid or something and we'll be wiped out like the dinosaurs. Or something will go wrong with the sun and we'll all be fried.

I believe that mankind will ultimately wipe out human existance. That is not to say destroy the entire planet earth, but the existance of most living things on this planet. And this goes back to the mythological symbol of the Ouroboros which is a snake eating its tail, sort of like a circle. (look it up) This represents infinity. If mankind is wiped out, then there is always something to begin life on the planet again. This could happen far earlier than any asteroid or other phenomenon could destroy the Earth. Think about it. During World War II, mankind had the opportunity to destroy most of the living creatures on this planet. This could probably be said about the present day also. That is scary to think about in my opinion.

space is the trippiest shit ever lol

i had a talk with 2 of my buddies after chugging 2 8oz bottles of robo and smoking 3 bowls about space. it took us like an hour to come up with our theory which was space is just space, never ending, and all matter is constantly expanding and multyiplying.

ya this stuff is mind blowing lol especially on dxm

later
