Whether the universe were to be expanding, contracting or static, we could not know what might be beyond it's outer edge..... that is why whatever it might be cannot be any part of the universe. The universe is defined as "all existing matter and space". So if "X" exists, it is part of the universe, it cannot be outside it. it is like trying to find a number greater than infinity - if you could find one, it wouldn't be greater than infinity. As "infinity" is defined as "a number greater than any assignable quantity, or countable number" a statement such as ... a number greater than infinity is infinity+1 ... shows how there can be no 'edge' to infinity. what is defined ( hypothetical ) to what is ( reallity ) are not the same
so what the universe is defined as is just a supposition based on ???
What else can I help you with?
Does the unerverse keep going on for ever?
Theoretically, the universe is infinite. It has no definable edge, or event horizon. Consider the space into which the expanding universe is expanding into.
Is universe moving towards us or away from us?
Neither. The definition of the 'universe' is: Everything that exists. And since that includes us, we are inside of the universe. The Universe is, however, thought to b expanding, and expanding faster at its outer edge. So the outer edge of the Univere is moving away from us. We, on the other hand, are moving away from the center of th e Universe (wherever that may be) so we are at the same time getting more distant from the center.
How many planets are beyond the solar system?
no one knows because no one can travel to the edge of the ever-expanding universe
Is there an edge of this universe?
Yes I believe there is an edge of this universe.
What happens when you reach the edge of the universe?
The Universe is approximately 14.6 billion light years across (radius), which gives a total of around 30 billion light years from edge to edge. The Universe came to exIstence 14.6 billion years ago and has been expanding ever since. The expansion process occured very rapidly and exponentially, resulting in expansion close to the speed of light, 3 * 10^8 meters per second. Therefore, the edge of the Universe, from the center, would be around 14.6 billion light years away, theoretically. It turns out that these theoretical calculations are accurate, as astronomers have recently detected the light from stars around 14 billion light years away. As the Universe ages, it will expand even more quickly due to the effects of dark energy.
Are objects in the universe all travelling outwards towards the edge of the universe?
All object are traveling in different direction and speed. If you believe that the universe has edge, then all direction will point to that edge. Unfortunately, no one can really tell if the universe has edge.
Is time slower at the edge of the universe?
Time is not slower at the edge of the universe. Time is a constant and does not change based on location in the universe. However, the passage of time can be affected by factors such as gravity and velocity.
How do NASA know when it is the edge of the universe?
the universe is infinite and impossible to knowAs we understand it at this time - there is no edge.
When was Edge of the Universe - song - created?
Edge of the Universe - song - was created on 1976-12-20.
Is there anything around the universe?
No, there is not there is no edge to the universe, and there is nothing outside of the universe. there just IS the universe.
Where is the edge of space and the universe?
There probably is no such edge. There is certainly no known edge. The "observable universe" has an edge, which is the limit of how far we can see. That's related to the age of the universe and the speed of light. Astronomers think there's a lot more beyond that limit and that the universe could be infinite in size.
Why the universe is black as the sun is present in the universe?
The Universe appears to be dark because space (meaning nothing), contains no matter for the sun to shine on. Also, another reason is that the universe is so large that, if you were to even try to look at the edge of the universe from outer space, the light would not exist beyond a certain point (because of the measurement of lightyears, and the never ending radius of the universe that is expanding). Thus, the universe is black.
