Is the universe infinitely expanding or does it expand to a particular limit?
VGAO1745
This question has been giving nightmares to cosmologists for years.But with the current evidences, scientists have determined that the universe is expanding at an ever-increasing rate and it will expand forever.

What are the three predictions of your Universe?
The "Big Crunch" idea was that the expansion would eventually stop and the universe would collapse. All evidence today says no way. The "Yo-Yo" says the universe repeatedly expand, collpses and then expands again of a roughly 70 billion year cycle. There is no evidence for this. The "Big Rip" says the universe will simply expand forever, with other galaxies gradually getting so far away that they fade in the distance, and then stars burn out and everything gets cold and dark forever.
What year did the earth expand in the big bang theory?
It is the Universe that expanded, not specifically the Earth. Earth was formed much later than the Big Bang. The Universe continues expanding, though.It is the Universe that expanded, not specifically the Earth. Earth was formed much later than the Big Bang.

What is static universe theory?
from CosmologyScience.com "Dynamically stable, non-expanding or non-stretching Universe models; space does not 'expand' with these models." "Do not confuse with Steady-state models which employ space expansion." For more details see -- http://www.cosmologyscience.com/glossary.htm#Static
Is the universe everything?
the universe can not be everything because there has to be space for it to expand into
What hypothesis is about the fate of the the universe says that it will expand?
Such an idea can hardly be called a "hypothesis" any more; it is now quite certain that it IS expanding, and that the expansion gets faster and faster. Probably something like "accelerated expansion rate".
How big does the universe expand?
it keeps on expanding
If the universe was expanding with 0 acceleration what would the age of the universe be?
The universe simply cant expand at 0 acceleration.
Is there is space outside universe to make it expand?
No. It is space itself that is expanding.
What do you call the universe that will continue to expand and galaxies will to move outward and rush away from each other?
It's just called the expanding universe.
Is the universe truly infinite?
The theory is that the universe 13.5-14.0 billions year ago was infinitely small but expanded very rapidly after the big bang.e.g. an expanding universe could1) expand until it reaches a size where it starts to contract2) expand forever but the speed of the expansion slows down in time until the expansion is almost not measurable3) expand forever at a fixed rate4) expand forever at an increasing rate (gets bigger, faster)The current theory is that the universe continues to expand and does so at an increasingly fast rate (e.g. item 4 above)Therefore, the best answer to your question is yes: the universe is truly infinitive because it will continue to expand and this expansions will be faster and faster the more time that goes by.

Is universe keep expanding in the future?
Yes it will expand but after a few millennium years it is said in theory that it will contract and contract till it is in nothingness.
Do the universe expand?
Yes, the universe expand.

How much mass is needed to stop the universe from expanding by 5 to 10 percent every million years if dark and visible matter are considered?
I am not entirely sure what you mean with "stop the Universe from expanding 5-10% every million years"; it certainly doesn't expand that quickly. It takes several billion years to double in size.Note that under just about any conditions, the Universe would eventually contract, or expand. It can't just remain static.
What did most scientists think about how the universe began?
The generally accepted model is called the "Big Bang". It means that all the matter and energy of the Universe was in a tiny space, some 13.8 billion years ago or so, at a tremendously high temperature and density. From there, it started to expand; currently, the Universe continues expanding, and will probably continue to expand forever.
Where in the heavens or on a star chart would you find the direction of the center of the universe that the earth sun milky way etc are expanding away from?
Galaxies expand in different directions implying there is not one place in the universe where the expansion began
