Infinite,eternal and forever are words that have no real meaning,nothing lasts forever,all things must pass and just like the word god,we created and use those words to help us explain the unexplainable,enigmas and paradoxes that are probably beyond our human ability to fully understand,beyond our comprehension...
Nope. The universe is infinite, i.e. it does not have an end. Just like numbers are infinite.

Our universe cant never end,if it has no end then it also has to have had no beginning as well and thats equally impossible.The universe is expanding outwards faster and faster and it must be expanding within another somewhere other than here,another somewhere that already exists.The universe cant be going nowhere,the universe cant be expanding into nothing,because theres never nothing anywhere...
Blow up a balloon under water,our expanding universe is like the air inside the balloon and the water that exists outside of the balloon is like the somewhere else that our universe is expanding within...

Surely this "threads question" is a lot more than just "interesting"...
Because it just happens to be the most profound and perplexing enigma of all,it is even beyond god and we are born,we are living and we are dying within this mind bending mystery right now and have been for a very long time.Whatever the answer,it will be The Truth Revealed and it will explain who we really are,what we are,why we are here and where we are all going...
Maybe the universe isnt moving outwards,maybe its not really expanding at all,maybe it just appears that way to our limited five senses because its actually a holographic illusion? > "are we living inside a giant hologram? > io9.com...edit on 31-12-2011 by blocula because: (no reason given)
