Whats outside our universe?

Hey, I remember seeing that video in a place called "Cosmonova" here in Sweden. It's Sweden's only Imax, and it's the worlds biggest one too. It's 760 meters squared, 11 meters high, and 23 meters in diameter. It's HUUGE. They only show scientific movies though. But I don't mind, because that's the only reason you would go to an IMAX.

Anyways, here's a really small picture of what it looks like inside, but you can tell how big it is by looking at the persons silouhette in the bottom centre of the screen:



This is only the front though. It stretches all the way to the roof, and covers it fully. It also covers a big piece of the walls on the right and left side. You seriously get scared when you're sitting at the top. Oh and they have HUGE speakers behind the "screen" or whatever you call it. They show you them before the movie starts, they do it by lighting them up with some kind light behind the screen. They look like huge angry monsters with gigantic mean looking eyes. Haha.

I almost shat my pants when the space movie started. Flying through space in Cosmonova is like actually being there. You feel like you're going to fall into nothing space. It's so scary, but so awesome. This was like 7 years ago though, hehe. I was only like 10 back then. Haven't been there in a long time.

Btw, is that the voice of Morgan Freeman by any chance? Hehe, it really sounds like him T_T

Don't know if its been suggested yet. But might the universe be a 'fractal'?

local.wasp.uwa.edu.au...

Well, if the revised M-Theory is correct, then "outside" is going to be very difficult to ascertain, because there are (again, according to M-Theory), 11 dimensions, the 11th of which is gravity, and does not fully (or even mostly) exist in this universe (hence why gravity is such a weak force compared to all others).

So most likely "outside" our universe is probably whatever produces the shadow of gravity that we experience in our universe.

I do like that explanation. We are so trapped in our ignorant bodies.

You move out of this universe/phase state to another one, amongst the stars is where you will be.Whats out there is the Universal Energy source, the binding force that keeps everything together.God presence, is what you would be feeling a euphoric state beyond earths comprehension, a visual flux of energy happens out there, your spirit takes charge.Think of all those different galaxies, as pools of energy to dip yourself into.Each one with its own euphoric field of vibration or resonance.

Darkness is the absence of light. It is not a thing. It is nothing.

The world is mostly nothing. Most of the universe is empty space. Even solid objects are mostly empty space. There is much more nothing inside a bar of lead than there are lead atoms.

Even you and I, it pains me to say, are mostly made up of nothing.

Darkeness is the absence of light, yes i agree. However it is not nothing and I can prove it. I can see it.

I dont think you can say empty space and nothing are the same thing. If you do then you really arent thinking about what im trying to say. Space is something even though it might be empty.

What exactly is the absence of everything?

Please show me something anywhere that says there is a mixture of nothing and atoms in a bar of lead.

Thanks for this insight. I am always thinking though, not to sound suicidal or anything, but is life really anything at all? I know that this pulls away from the original post, but maybe I can receive a few answers here. Does life really matter? Will I ever make any difference? Is it all really worth it? I find that these are some of the hardest, if not impossible questions to answer. I just wonder if I even exist in the first place... The ultimate question, I think though, is Why life?

i always wondered whats outside too......its all so complicated...how was this universe created..if this whole thing is a universe then what is all the universes called and would we ever be able to travel to them...one thing i do believe is that after we die we go somewhere sometimes i think that life resets itself and then u end up in another universe but diffrent events happen in the history of your life and then again sometimes i think that when we die our souls go into a newborn baby thats why they say everytime somebody dies somebody is born & thats also why alot of people have similarities like if somebody died along time ago and i where to have the personality of him but i am from like 20000000 years later....i feel one day we will know how to get to other universes and places in this multiuniverse..

Since you are the one who is making extraordinary claims ('nothing is something'), it is up to you to provide the evidence and for the rest of us to refute it, rather than the other way round.

What I have stated is common knowledge among the scientifically literate, though the more pedantic among us might choose to speak of not of lead atoms but of protons, neutrons and electrons, or hadrons and leptons, or hadrons, baryons and bosons, or whatever.

I believe you're right. I had the same thought a couple of months ago. Empty space sure is empty (as far as we know today), but it's there. It is not 'nothingness'.

I think the absence of everything is the point the universe almost reaches just before the big bang, after which the whole process repeats itself. Do you see what I'm trying to say?

Complete absence of everything is impossible in our universe, but local pockets may be possible (black holes - The Hawking Paradox)
