What is beyond the border of the universe?
The universe, being all there is, is infinitely big and has no edge, so there’s no outside to even talk about. The current width of the observable universe is about 90 billion light-years. And presumably, beyond that boundary, there’s a bunch of other random stars and galaxies.
Does the universe include all space and time?
The universe is everything. It includes all of space, and all the matter and energy that space contains. It even includes time itself and, of course, it includes you. Earth and the Moon are part of the universe, as are the other planets and their many dozens of moons.
Is there an outer limit to the universe?
But if you define it as the limits of the unobservable Universe, the only limit we have is that it’s at least 11,500 billion light-years in size, and it could be even larger. This doesn’t necessarily mean that the Universe is infinite, though.
What is beyond time and space?
Beyond Time and Space is an anthology of science fiction stories edited by American writer August Derleth. It was first published by Pellegrini & Cudahy in 1950.
Why does the expansion of the universe create new spacetime?
The expansion doesn’t create new spacetime. It is the end result of the addition of additional spacetime into the system. Space is not just some mathematical concept nor is it just a frame of reference that can be adjusted with changes to its base metric.
Do we know what lies beyond the boundaries of the universe?
Unfortunately, since we can’t see it or measure it, we don’t know what lies beyond the bounds of the observable universe. However, we have several theories regarding what exists in the great unknown. Despite its strangeness, this first idea is one of the easiest to digest.
Could we ever reach the edge of the observable universe?
Ultimately, this means that we could only reach the edge of the observable universe if we develop a method of transport that allows us to either 1) Travel faster than the speed of light (something which most physicists think is impossible) 2) Transcend spacetime (by using wormholes or warp drive, which most physicists also think is impossible).
Does the universe expand or stretch?
It’s as though new space is getting created due to the Universe’s expansion. If you consider a Universe filled with radiation, because the wavelength lengthens as the Universe expands, the “space stretches” analogy works very well.
