The universe is defined as the entirety of existence. It is everything that we can observe, measure, and even hypothesize. It includes earth with its living things together with all the other astronomical objects existing in the vastness of space.

What are the implications of a dodecahedral universe on our understanding of the cosmos?

A dodecahedral universe would suggest that the universe is finite and has a specific shape, which could challenge the current understanding of an infinite and unbounded universe. This could lead to new insights into the structure and geometry of the cosmos, potentially changing our understanding of how the universe functions and evolves.


Do molecules have a surface?

Wonderful question, wonderful answer: "Everything you've learned in school as "obvious" becomes less and less obvious as you begin to study the universe. For example, there are no solids in the universe. There's not even a suggestion of a solid. There are no absolute continuums. There are no surfaces. There are no straight lines." --R. Buckminster Fuller Do molecules have a surface? Yes and no. The surface of a molecule is less clearly defined the closer one gets to it to inspect it. The molecule is, after all, atoms, and the surface of atoms isn't clearly defined, so why would a molecule's? The outer surface is just a "fuzzy area" where electrons may, or may not be at any given moment. The surface is "harder" as one gets closer and the probability of electrons actually being there increases.

If the universe is expanding what comes after the outermost edge?

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 ???
