BTW - I am looking for scientific/philosophical answers not heavily religous answers, or answers that say "that isn't possible."
I like the idea that space is curved, but it is almost mind boggling to think about. If spaced is curved, I automatically think that it must then be round, but if it is round (like the earth) how does that work, because in space you can go in any direction, wheras on earth you could WALK in a cirlcle and find yourself at your origin, but if you go straight up in lets say a rocket then you find yourself somewhere else entirely. Hopefully I am making sense. I don't expect a matter-of-fact answer. I expect a philosophical answer, because it is a philosophical question. Space isn't infinite. I was thinking that to end up back where you started, then space, yes, would have to be curved, but then you would more or less have to be going in a circle right? Even circles have outer layers that can be penetrated. I think that is what I was trying to say before. So far I think my thinking aligns more with Ben G's comment. Still accepting theories though. |

Given the science on the ability to create artificial wormholes, the edge of space would be like finding where the edge of a lake meets the edge of the atmosphere.
As for a longitude and latitude in space, I lack that knowledge. (I think it has 6 or 7 coordinates.) |

Since Space is infinite who would know the answer to that question! OK you don't want religion or "that isn't possible" answers, but just who do you think would know the answer to your question? Not even a scientist or astronaut would know! If you don't want heavenly answers maybe you should stick to this solar system!!! This isn't a mean reply,,,it's just a reply, don't take it wrong please!

Well if the universe was created in a big bang that exploded matter outwards and most agree the universe is still expanding than somewhere billions of light years from here we would find the outer edge of this wave of matter that is expanding outwards..using logic even though logic doesn't completely apply to this universe we would probably find matter-less space nothingness

We may dissolve into 'nothing'.
My thinking goes like this to come up with the above answer.... Beyond the edge of space, there wouldn't be any space... if there is no space, there would be nothing there. If we can manage to cross the edge of space somehow, in the absence of space, our being can not have any physical dimension... we may then become some sort of metaphysical existence which means we can not be sensed any more through the five sensory organs nor can we sense anything without a physical presence. If we believe that when we think about this, our thought has gone there, then our somehow managing to travel there will turn our body into something like a thought that can be without any physical dimensions. This is what I mean by saying that we would perhaps dissolve into nothing. Thanks for a great STAR question letting my imagination fly across space and beyond!! |

I would assume that since everything in the universe seems to like equilibrium, there would have to be something that would balance the universe, so maybe some sort of anti-verse. I really just base this reasoning on the concept that if most things within a close system follow certain norms, than the system itself must follow those norms as well. Conceptualizing the universe as a closed system for everything that we know and understand, than the universe as that system must follow the same rules. If there is a positive than somewhere there is a negative to balance the system. If there is a universe that there must be something to balance it.
