What's on the outside of the universe?

Seriously, though? Whenever I look at the sky, I always wonder: what is on the outside of our cosmic bubble? The universe expands at a rate of around 1 trillion trillion trillion light-years per second. It would take one heckuva rocket engine to get to its end. But here's another random thought: compare the universe to a rubber band; when you pull it, it stretches. Like how our universe expands. ...But when you let go, it INSTANTLY snaps shut. My point is, if the universe were expanding, chances are its contraction would be around a 1000 times faster, so we'd never feel it. Back on track: what is on the outside of our universe? It's like a video game: there's an invisible wall. There is another side. But you cannot reach it. If you try, your character dies. It's impossible to imagine nothing on the outside of a barrier. What is outside the universe's boundary? What does that boundary look like? It freaks me out just thinking about it; like humanity isn't ever supposed to know the answer. Try it: try thinking of an "outside" to the universe. It will give you a headache. What's preventing us from imagining the outside of the universe???

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Vitamin Zawaz [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] TheMayaMC How hard is it to understand nothing? its just empty space, there's no wall, edge, or end to nothing.[/quote] It's harder than that. Try to imagine no color; I mean nothing, no black or white color. It is impossible. The human mind thinks with color all the time, be it blankness or darkness. It's more than just endless, wall-less, and edgeless. What does nothing look like? What would a human being do if he/she saw it? Would they go insane? What would it be like existing in nothing? Like someone said waaaaaaaaay earlier, nothing means ABSOLUTELY nothing; no vacuum, color, atoms, or even empty space. Empty space is something.[/quote] you took the words right out of my mouth.
