Quote:That is pretty cool, pretty cool indeed. Space and time is infinite. I just find it odd that some scientists theorize that space does have an end point, and I simply don't believe that. For one, we can't even remotley explore space at free will from point A to point B. It's a challenge just trying to get to the Moon. So, again, how can you possibly say it eventually runs out and ends if you've never explored it? I hate that theory. To me, like most planets found in just our solar system, one would think that space is probably the same shape, with no "edge of the space" theory or idea where you could literally and virtually walk or fly yourself right out of existence.


 

 

This is the way I have been led to understand it.   Prior to the big bang, there was no space and time, and the big bang created space and time.   They have somehow gauged the age of the universe at 13.8 billion years, and since nothing can travel faster than the speed of light, then the size of the universe must be 13.8 billion light years in all directions.  Now, if somehow you could reach the end of the universe, you could not go beyond, because at the edge of the universe there are no laws of nature, nothing exists, not even space.   So the idea of going beyond the edge of the universe simply does not compute. 

 

Now, if space and time are infinite, as some are now saying, then I am all wrong I guess.   The only way that can happen is if the universe inflated at more than the speed of light.   But I was alway taught that that was not possible.
