Just had a random thought about space and life. I was thinking, what happened before the big bang? Something had to start it off? If something did start the big bang, what happened before that thing started it.
Does the universe end? If it does end, whats on the other side!!! Things have to end and have a start and finish for the human brain to understand. I just feel weird when thinking about stuff like this, its very interesting though.
It does end at some point, as the universe is constantly expanding there must be an end for it. As the universe expands, it will expand into the space taken up by something that we are unable to see as our known universe.
Arghhhh!!!!

Lmao! I've had this argument with the ball and chain a thousand times over... "nothing" was ever in space.. there was always something but how did that something get there, and if religious people say God, then how did he get there? Lol, this question's even worse than the chicken and the egg one.

It good though, I love thinking about stuff like this. You say "there was always something but how did that something get there" What was there before that and how did that get there?
Its just an endless cycle!!!

Lmao yea!... and how convinient is it, that the human body is programmed for survival! Evolution! Argh!! "God must have made us like that" "Nope, we just grew to be like that!"... I believe scientific theories like. They haven't got proof for everything, but unlike religion, at least they have proof for some things.

Some think that our spacetime bubble (the visible universe) is a 3-brane floating in higher dimensional space and will collide with another universe in the far distant future - this scenario is called the Big Splat (I'm not kidding!)
n terms of spatial boundrys, yes, it does have an edge. However, if you crossed over the edge of the Universe, you'd just be on the otherside of the universe and be completely unaware.
Our Universe is a hyperdimentional sphere, curved in a fourth spatial dimention that we are unable to comprehend and are unaware of.
Just like a two dimentional ant on the surface of a ball, he walks around and it appears flat, but he doesn't realize he's just walking in three dimentional circles.
If you're talking about Universal caticlism, I don't think there will really be one and the Universe will continue decaying energy states until that's nothing left but rocks floating through the pitch black. But what the guy said about the 'Big Splat' was interesting..
just some quotes ive found on this subject.

Lol, I like how they talk about something and then say "that we are unable to comprehend and are unaware of"... Hmm, funny how you can be unaware of it, yet you're talking about it lol. How much of a nerd do we both sound? :nodyes:

yeah found that funny. He's another good one that got me thinking and feeling "funny"
no it doesn't end but must have an end which keeps growing , if we had a telescope powerful enough it would be possible view the big bang at its very birth and if you looked far enough you'd view the back of yourself were space and time had bent so far that it was coming back on its self
Another
f you started walking around earth in one direction and kept on going where would the end be? There is no end unless you call the end the place where you started at.
