What's at the edge of the universe Sup Forums? Imagine drifting there, gazing into a black gulf devoid of stars or anything and it stretches out for all eternity, all the uncountable stars and unimaginable distance of the cosmos and it is dwarfed entirely by this expanse of nothing.

Why is space so scary?

The universe is a ball

The universe has no edge. That's a nonsensical question, like wondering what is at the edge of the world.

nothingness is still something
what exists outside the expansion of the universe is non-reality

wouldn't you eventually go through a 4th dimension and return from hence you came?

I think time doesn't exist there so you can never reach it or something like that I dunno

You can still leave the ball, what happens afterwords?
At the edge of the earth there is an infinite expanse of empty space with countless trillions upon trillion of trillion stars and galaxies and planets stretched across trillions of lightyears

>The universe has no edge. That's a nonsensical question, like wondering what is at the edge of the world.

It's a sensical question. It's not known if the universe has an edge or not.

It's, of course, irrelevant because it will probably never be known by anyone.

Imagine the universe is 2d. Then you can think of it like a sphere; a balloon and that balloon is expanding.

But the universe as a 3d structure, then you have a 4d structure expanding.
Every direction still takes you back around.

>non-reality
how did it get there?

Are you suggesting time and space are being created by some process which allows for the continued expansion of the universe?

If the universe emerged within dimensionality whence cometh that?

There is no universe. The earth is flat, there is no evidence to suggest space even exists. However there is an edge of the earth in which nobody has seen yet.

The definition of the universe that he's using is "Everything that exists". Thus, if one is outside of it, one doesn't exist.

Of course, that's not the definition OP was using

>bong

The universe is a sphere where opposite points on the boundary are mapped to each other. If you reached "the end" and kept going, you'd just emerge on the other side of the universe

what's outside the sphere ?

That is the 3D equivalent of asking "what is the diameter of a point" or "what is the thickness of a line"

It's not like bumping into a wall, the universe comprises both space and time, so its more like you would get both stretched out and stuck as the progress of time approaches 0.

there is no edge retard

thats not true

its pretty much almost 0 flat

einstein, friedman etc

we needed jews to figure that one out!

There is an edge, but it is constantly expanding and is impossible to reach.

Imagine you're riding on one of the first photons to escape the hot dense universe after the Big Bang. This photon being on the edge of the universe has nothing to interact with so it will travel indefinitely. A photon traveling at c will not experience time, instead in that instant from the photons perspective it will arrive at the heat death of the universe, (or "big ripped" universe), in an instant. Everything that has ever happened will happen in that instant from the photons perspective.

If you could somehow wormhole or tunnel your way to the edge of the universe what will happen is you arrive at the end of the universe where time doesn't exist because the universe will be in a static, unchanging mix of diffuse radiation.

Tldr the edge of the universe is the end of the universe from a perspective of time.

I don't think so. Time exists anywhere space exists. If that's true, the edge of the universe isn't determined by how far light has gone, because space is expanding much much faster than light can travel within it.

Now, if you believe the idea that the universe began as a single point, and expanded (this is implied by the big bang theory), then every point is at the center, and every point is also at the edge.
