How does everyone feel about our Universe....
 
Is it infinite or finite..... If we could travel from point
A in a straight line at some high speed, would we ever reach an end? If we would travel from point A in a straight line would we eventually end up back at point A..... Thus, is our universe enclosed....

Is our universe enclosed?? If that is so, what is outside of our universe, nothing, but what is nothing.... How can "nothing" exist? Or maybe other universes are outside of our universe??? And are these universes parallel to ours, meaning, did the beginning of time begin with the same distinct features and inhabitants and is only different than our universe now because of choice.... Or maybe they started at different times.....

Is our universe every expanding, or does it have no need to expand since it is already infinite, or can it be infinitely expanding on its infiniteness.....

I would have to say it is infinite, period....

What we think of as our universe is finite, but it is not necessarily all that exists. We just don't know enough at this point.

I'd be so much happier we discovered it were banana shaped.

Point would have changed so much during your travel, it wouldn't be the same Point A anymore.

But anyway, I've always been skeptical of traveling at 'warp' speed because you'd inevitably crash into some asteroid or star.

impossible to say.

I guess if your looking for people to throw out random [censored] they heard people who are smarter than them say then i'll say i think its infinite and expanding (figure that one out).

I disagree with this stance, only because some parts of it are very hot and could burn you.

Thanks for the reasonable answer, one of the few.... Maybe their should be a FAQ here at SMP.... Impossible to say, but I was wondering what everyone's theory about it would be......
