deep thought...about Space

[tschmidty32]

ok so outer space is like never ending, but it's hard to think that it literally never ends...what if space is like the game asteroids, where if you go out one end, you come back on the other side...that would essentially make it a sphere or a huge 3-d oval etc...if that's the case then, what is on the outside of Space? anybody understand what i'm thinking??? It blows my mind sometimes...thoughts?

[Samwhore]

theres nothing outside of space, space is everything, whats outside of space, more space

[geonagual]

It seems to be indefinite.

It is like the energizer bunny..

It keeps going and going and going and going..........

[kindprincess]

here's one to ponder...

as you approach the speed of light, time slows down, and supposedly, if you were to reach the speed of light, time would stop. you wouldn't know that you traveling. however, if you go faster than the speed of light, time would reverse...

the problem is, if time reversed, you'd get back to going slower than the speed of light, and be traveling forward again. so if you ever did try to go faster than the speed of light, you'd end up in a neverending battle without even knowing that what's happening...

it's a paradox.

i wish they had an einstien smiley :D

Truth is, nobody knows. Probably will never know. I'm sure we'll destroy ourselves with war before we ever unite to explore space to any significant length.

I believe space is limited.


I believe we will definitely destroy ourselves
but imagining that space is limited is hard
what would create the boundry?
Whats on the other side of that?

Then there would be the question that burns in many peoples mind.
Is there a god?

I am stoned:rastasmoke:

[geonagual]

Pure energy could be the boundary. The boundary does not necessarily have to be solid.

I get what your saying. But it would seem to me if our universe is an energy ball, basically that it would be traveling in a universe of it's own.

So many mysteries.

[tschmidty32]

i love it...soo many mysteries, nobody will know for sure...i too believe that we will destroy ourselves before we find out the answers...i am a christian and believe that there is a god, but at the same time i find it hard to believe that there isn't any other source of life outside of earth, there has to be "something" else out there...

One time, I built this really cool spaceship and I flew past Space, up until I was in heaven, and then I proceeded to kicking God and heaven itself's asses with my cool spaceship

space is always growing larger and larger from the single point it started as before the big bang. Will it stop growing and stay in steady state? will it infitately grow? or at some time will it come to its kenitic energy end and return in on its self with what is now potential elastic energy and the whole universe will go back to being on sinple point again? that would be a shitty week

Imagining the Tenth Dimension - A Book by Rob Bryanton (http://www.tenthdimension.com/flash2.php)

watch 'imagining the 10th dimension', dunno if it was just the weed, but when i first watched the video, it completely made sense to me.

[higher4hockey]

Perhaps our "universe" is one of many in a large energy field. Maybe those big bangs are explosions in the energy that send it outward in all directions. What would be interesting, is if "colliding" with another universe has every occurred.

never watched the science channel? universes colliding has actually happened. planets have collided as well. thats how we got the moon.


and for tschmidty32 look at a circle........it has no beginning or end.

and for the whole idea of other intelligent life "the greatest sign of intelligent life, is that none of it has tried to contact us."

[TurnyBright]

"space" is the term for our entire three-dimensional plane.

our "three-dimensional" plane is ACTUALLY shaped like a four-dimensional sphere. Thus, is you got a spaceship and traveled straight through space, eventually you would find yourself exactly where you began.

there is something beyond our dimensional "structure" and that is the the plane that extends into the fourth dimension, that direction that is not included in width, height, or length.

[420Toaker]

I think about space alot especially when i get really faded and just got stare up on a clear night and just imagine what could be out there 10 million lightyears away it is truely the greatest mind fuck of all.

[make it legal]

Yeah it's a pretty common theory that the universe is a big 4d ball.
