What's beyond the universe?

why the "....no" tho?

why the "....no" tho?

This is just guesswork, but I think he said no to everything written before in this thread, since he wrote the expanding universe theory as an actual fact and something that is undeniably happening right now.

But that is just my guess, I believe that he just wrote the thing not considering how it sounds, not necessarily how he believes things are.

uhhh... but the universe is expanding, all the galaxies we observe are moving away from us. At an accelerating rate actually. This is a fact

But the string theory is not a fact... yet.

cars move away from me all the time, it doesnt mean the road is expanding

Hehe, killer

the ...No was in response to the pudding and other stupid stuff that was said.

There is empirical evidence to suggest the expanding universe and the Big Bang theory.... String Theory not so much though

An intresting idea is that the universe will expand so large that it will not have enough energy to hold itself together anymore and will collapse in what is called "The Big Crunch"

If the universe expands too large how can it collapse? Where do these theories come from, the clown school?

how is that even a valid analogy?

It's RD, you are thinking it too much.

It comes from physics

Sorry, your explanation was just way too over simplified. "universe was like there, and then it was like gone.. funny"

because the road isn't defined by the cars.

Actually it is just as valid analogy as any. Don't forget that we observe GALAXIES and draw a conclusion that the UNIVERSE is expanding, here we just observe CARS and draw a conclusion that the ROAD is expanding.
