Do you believe that space is endless or not. I do, because think about it, space is nothing right, there is nothing less nothing, right.

The universe is infinite only in the sense that it is ever expanding.
Mathematically speaking, nothing can be truly infinite, as infinity is simply a shortened means of saying f(x)=x+1, a simple, ever expanding algorithm that dictates permanent, steady growth.
Besides, the universe's expansion is steadily slowing at this point, and may, at some point long after our pathetic, short-lived existence on this planet has ended, and long after the planet itself has failed to sustain life, collapse upon itself.

loves_hina Do you believe that space is endless or not. I do, because think about it, space is nothing right, there is nothing less nothing, right. you know thats one of the best questions I've ever heard, it's never crossed my mind, I would have to say its probably not endless because nothing is endless but then again if space ends what is after space?

Another space, there are alot of theories explaining the universe (a whole bunch of Galaxies) being embedded in a multiverse (a whole bunch of universes)

and you also have to take into account that we can only perceive and think in 4 dimensions (height, width, depth, and duration).

HM. THere are supposedly three theories for this.
That the universe is constantly expanding
That the universe is constantly shrinking
THat the universe, over time goes between impoloding and exploding, a combinatoin of both above choices.
I'm not even going ot try to pck one myself. If anything, I'd say either expanding or the combinatoin theory.

Steven Hawkins also fomulated the theory of a "vibrating" universe, shaking off "bubbles" of universes, linked to the origin with jumpholes.
Pretty trippy. I am going far enough with my theory: Our multiverse is embedded in a higher multiverse...

I would expect nothing less... rolleyes
however, the vibrating universe theory serves only to build a recursive solution, that, with every keystroke, creates another universe. the realm of possibility is endless, and our physics might be totally wrong, but, nonetheless, we are talking about theoretical science, as opposed to practical science, so, honestly, who knows?

I don't think it is infinite, science has shown that it is slowly shrinking. M Theory might (might, but might not) say it is shrinking, as well.

I have heard the theories that for every question asked, and for every dice roll, coin flip, ect that there is an alternate univers where the outcome is different. No, not the kind from Futurama. That was stupid. I mean that because you roled a die, new universes were created where let's say you got a one, adn 5 toher universes were created where you got 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. IF you were to map them, it would look similar to a family tree type graph. And then one could think that that would happen for every single person, every single choice. That's a lot on universes.
