The most important thing man will ever know

[Selkie]

Pictures taken from space. The thing we are surrounded by at all times, and our final frontier. We already know about micro physics and how every tiny thing on our planet works, now we have to apply it on a larger scale to the universe. There is so much there to learn about, and discover, and the only thing we can do from here on Earth, is look at it.

Our Sun...



Billions of those make up a galaxy...



And billions of those make up our universe...



And who's to say there aren't billions of universes in something larger?


Discuss what you think of the universe.

[unwelc0med]

what would a universe be part of

[Daddy]

what would a universe be part of

The multiverse.

[unwelc0med]

The multiverse.

ok 

[me003]

I think we'll all die before we know.  magician;

[strongbad]

That's reasonable.
Alternate universes would be cool.

[Title27GT]

I would love to know if the universe ends. I mean, I'm pretty sure scientists say it doesn't, but there's got to be some sort of edge out there...

[strongbad]

Yeah, but if you think about it, theres no way if it could end.
Like, is there a huge fucking wall that you can't get through? Then what would be behind the wall. The only reasonable thing I can think of is that once you reach the end, you get looped back around to where you started somehow.

Or the universe is just an expanding sphere. You reach the "end" and start to go up against the border, but it still appears as if you're going straight.

If it's expanding, there has to be something on the outside for it to expand into.

[Kalahari Inkantation]

I wonder what it's expanding into. Maybe we're just a growing piece of mold on someone's bread.

But seriously, what is outside of the universe? Questions like these really make you want to just sit down and think.

[guff]

so what happens to said something?  does the universe just am be a little hungry hungry hippo and gobble it up or what

what's your definition of expansion of the universe
oh and for that matter, how about the same for the universe

But seriously, what is outside of the universe?

are you certain there's such a thing as outside the universe

[thezerofire]

I think the most important thing a man can ever know would be how the mind of a woman works, but it doesn't matter, cause we will never understand

[Knig]

We have plenty of work to do on the 'tiny things' before scientists can hope to learn more about the universe.

If this were true, our "space" would be LIQUID.
