No. The universe CONTAINS matter. While space is boundless, it will always be greater than ANY and ALL matter.There is no proof that matter exists throughout the boundlesness of space, we only know we can see it in every direction we look. Even the most distant reaches of space as viewed by our most powerful telescopes are but an ifinitely small drop in the bucket of BOUNDLESNESS. Another way to see it is If we were an all powerful observer of ALL that exists, we could see that there is in fact an "ALL THAT EXISTS" Logic dictates that when speaking of "SOMETHING" (matter) each something can be given a number (EVEN if is is a number given to the subatomic particles that comprise each individual atom) There WOULD come a time when ALL were numbered! Since matter cannot be created (turning NOTHING into SOMETHING) nor destroyed (turning SOMETHING into NOTHING) therefore matter is eternal is the default position. That matter can be changed into energy and energy into matter does not refute the position that matter is finite. It simply denotes that every step further into the subatomic level or factor in that energy can change to matter and matter can be converted to energy is one more step that leads to the conclusion that ALL that exists is a finite.

By no means, at least, not the normal matter we know, that consists of atoms. There is also dark matter and dark energy; as of yet, we know that it exists, but we don't really know what it is made of.

There is 5-10 times as much dark matter as normal matter. It shows itself through its gravitational interactions, but it is invisible - so it must be something that hardly interacts with electromagnetic waves.

No. There are forces and fields of energy that are not matter. Our thoughts are in the universe yet they ARE not matter but they DO matter!

There are no infinite natural resources. The universe is finite.


How is the term 'parallel universe' defined?

A parallel universe would be another region of our space-time with its own matter-energy configuration and its own physical laws and constants. In the hypothetical multiverse there could be an infinite number of them existing alongside our universe. This means there could be infinite copies of each one of us living out our lives in infinitely different ways!


Is the matter in a black hole falling back to the point of origin of the universe?

The matter in a black hole is compressed by gravity to a singularity, a single point of infinite density. It goes nowhere except into that point.


How many atoms in the univearse?

There is an infinite number of atoms in the universe. This is because the universe never ends, it is always expanding. So, since you can't measure how large the universe is, as it is ever-expanding, you cannot determine how many atoms are in the universe.alternate view. Though the universe may be infinite, that is not the same thing as boundless. And of course most of the universe is space without matter in it.Astrophysicist Arthur Eddington estimated the number of hydrogen atoms in the Universe to be about 10^73, and even with knowledge of 'Dark matter' that would only add a few digits to the exponent. Today's best guess along those lines is around 10^80. (Also known as the Dirac large number hypothesis.)This is a long way from infinite, and even a long way from a Googol or a Googolplex.

If the universe is infinite then why are there a finite amount of galaxies?

It is not yet certain what size the Universe is, not even approximately - but it is probably not infinite. If you have seen an estimate about the number of galaxies in the Universe, it probably referred to the OBSERVABLE Universe, which is definitely not infinite.

Where is our galaxy cluster in relation to other galaxies?

well, that's a hard question to answer, because since the universe is infinite that means that there is an infinite amount of matter, which results in an infinite number of galaxy, so, the answer would be: everywhere and nowhere, distance infinite, you can't measure that. sorry. But an interesting question.
