What happens when you reach the edge of the universe?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

We do not know what lies beyond the edge of the observable universe as our current understanding is limited by the speed of light and the age of the universe. It is possible that there could be more universe beyond our observable limits, but this is purely speculative at this point.

Answer 3

At this point there is no edge of the universe, mostly due to the fact that the universe is expanding rapidly (moving outward).

(Answer By William Hackman)

I believe there is a edge in this universe, but there is no proof on how far it is right now. Our universe has been expanding for a long time, but later on it will start contracting (moving inward) maybe faster than light. And then we'll have a new Earth and a new universe and have only good and living, not bad or death.

Answer 4

No one knows, and we can't measure it.

IF the universe is 13.7 billion years old AND its expanding at the speed of light, then the answer might be 13.7 light years ... but not all assumptions have been proven.

Answer 5

No-one Can Really Prove If There Is Even An "Edge Of The Universe" So The Question Can't Really Be Answerd......<3

Answer 6

there is only 1 universe...although there is many galaxies contained in this universe.

Answer 7

There is no end of the universe. The universe goes on for ever and ever.

Answer 8

No one knows. The edge of the observable Universe is about 13.2 billion light years away, but there is a lot more past that!!

Answer 9

There is no end of theunivers it keeps growing and no one knows if it will ever stop

Answer 10

The question is meaningless; we don't even know if the universe HAS an "edge", or what that distance might be.
