How big is the universe?

BloodNinja · 05-04-2007, 01:05 PM

Does the universe go on, and on forever without stopping?

Is the universe infinite?

No end to it?

Or are we just mice in a box?

According to Issac Newton's law of physics, an object will keep moving unless acted on by another force.

There is no end, or atleast I believe there isn't.

Edit; We aren't even 1% of the universe.

Ps-FOR ALL WE KNOW- we could be a nuclues of a cell of a piece of fly cell pen1s for all we know.. that fly is just waiting to die..., killing all of us

tragedy-

live life to the fullest- for all we know we can die ALL OF US right now

I don't really have a number on how big the universe is, in terms of how much the matter has spread out since the Big Bang, but it's pretty wide. The vacuum in which you find that matter is something which has always existed though, and there are always virtual particles popping in and out of existence in that vacuum which apparently is responsible for the creation of mass according to one popular theory.

We currently can't estimate the mass of the universe accurately enough to know if it'll all just keep expanding outward forever or if it'll eventually all come back in (Big Crunch)--we used to believe it would all come back in, but recent evidence has suggested, maybe not....

eskuAdradit0: As far as the mass is concerned, it's inferred, if by prove you mean measure it out in detail then that's impossible with current technology, I'm afraid... What I described about the vacuum is I believe called the Higgs field and that also can't be proven yet, in fact they're still looking for the Higgs particle (there's 8 of those, 4 observable) which is another part of that theory. Unfortunately when it comes to cosmology you can't really prove a lot of this stuff very easily.... However, we can discuss it seriously, which is all this forum requires, fortunately.

It is infinite, as available space can never end.

Theoretically it could result in an invisible black hole that loops the universe when past a certain point though.

You just gotta find that damn line.

LordShaft · 05-04-2007, 09:41 PM

i ahve two THEORYS either, the universe is infinite, if we were to travel in a strait line, we would never arive back at the starting point, or the universe is round, meaning that if we traveled in a strait line, one day we'dd come back to where we started

or mabye it's flat

~~Heidenreich6~~ · 05-05-2007, 01:23 PM

No one knows.

It can't have some fence at it's border or be infinite.

MonniK · 05-05-2007, 01:39 PM

Its just serounded by big black space u cant tell if it ends or not.

In ONE photo alone (I think it was from Hubble) there was over ten thousand GALAXIES in ONE picture! Do you realize how many stars that is? That's around 10^10^10^10 stars! I think there's no way in hell that there isn't any life out there (I'm not talking just about Intelligent life, i'm talking about any life in general, microscopic, bacterial, etc)

Firedauz · 05-05-2007, 09:19 PM

I have read somewhere that the Universe is not infinite, but its pretty huge.
The best part is that it is still growing @ expanding, thus giving it the infinite theme.

xStuntManx · 05-05-2007, 11:13 PM

the universe is infinite.. i can prove it?
wanan know why space exsist?
because its afraid to be on the same planet as chuck norris

We can't prove it's infinite, or that it's not, we can't go that far.

Edit; Not yet.
