Since I was a little kid, since many were little kids I am sure they have though about space in general. Space has always been a wondrous thing to me, and possibly the reason I want to go deeper into a field of astronomy. Today though, I just wanted to ask everyone here what they thought about the size of space.

Many say that space has no end, there is no such thing as the "edge" of space and then there are the people who say that everything comes to an end, and the possibility of space going forever is upsurde.

Personally, I think that space has no end; it is and will always be the "mother" of everything. Space is just a repetitive cycle where stars die and then stars re-create in a matter of millions of years, and then it repeats.

Next question to you is if space does end, what would the edge of space look like, would it just be black, would it be all white, where the color is blinding.

Once again, I believe that space has no end, but if it did it would just be all white and everything would be blinding, just like the movies! That’s of course if it did end.

The worst part about me posting these topics is it gets me thinking and then I remember, not in our lifetimes will technology ever get us far enough to know, how amazing.

Just my two cents, now yours. :question::

This is just like the "god" topic. you can never know.. and most likely Will never know. All you can really do is enjoy the ride of life why you got it.

But on topic, i think that space has no end, i mean.. what's it going to do just go flying in space and hit a wall?
At most i think that the end could be a place where Nothing WE have can go. something like.. a never ending black hole which is at the furthest most part of space. but if thats true, then there is no end. just an end of the line for us.

According to most modern studies, space is ever-expanding, but eventually everything will grow too far apart and everything we know and love will cease to exist. ::cry::

lol, once again

:P

A God topic? How so? The Big Bang has happened and it has been proven. And I believe that God used the Big Bang to create the universe.
See below:

Truth: The universe is getting bigger or expanding.
Belief: God created the universe.
Conclusion: If God created the universe and it is expanding then he had to have used the Big Bang to do so. Hence, there is nothing Atheistic about The Big Bang Theory.

How is that relevant to my question? :P

that was my reasoning to why its like the god topic in my original post...

Summary on Space;
- It is endless.
- Very dark, but lighted from the stars [including Sun]
- Cool.
- Misty.

I see it as being something mysterious. Lots of darkness, yet bright from the stars. Misty environment, some parts very unclear to make out. Expands for what seems like forever, and totally is.

There is much to find.

By endless do you mean it has no boundaries or will never "die"?

Space is okay

I think it has a end, but VERY VERY far, since the big bang expanded like 10 light years per seconds , it should continue lol.

wow i've never really thought about it i think space has no end, but what would be past all of universe. first planet, solar system, galaxy, universe, then what

Space is infinate.

*infinite

Actually no its not. Space had a beginning (The Big Bang) and by definition then it is finite. Even the oscillating universe model is wrong because the entropy will still build up so if you back track then there is the beginning of the universe.

Patrick you use a lot of big words. :P

I don't think space ever stops. I'm not sure why. But I do.

I have always found topics such as this one interesting and frustrating at the the same time. I say that because there are so many things about the universe I want to understand but can't simply because a lot of the technical aspects of these discussions(from magazines, internet, journals) go way over my head. As for space "having an end"...it might as well be endless since we won't be venturing that far out into it, anytime soon.

This is a topic I can't quite get my head around. But I'll do my best nonetheless.

I don't think space has any boundaries. It is ever expanding, and I doubt there are or will ever be any definite boundaries as to where space 'stops'. I just fail to see what else there could be beyond space. While it has no size boundaries, I'd say it had had a beginning (the big bang) and will probably have an end. How it might or might not end is open to debate and again that's another issue I would fail to grasp.

Infinity is a concept. It is impossible for it to be real. Mathematically it doesn't work out. I could do infinity minus infinity and get an unending amount of answers. Nothing can be physically infinite. The Big Bang is a limit to the universe which means it is not infinite.

Space is something that Marvels Almost Everyone because We have only seen what we can with Telescopes and the Night Sky. and if we could only see more of it, it would make us more excited about whats out there.

The more knowledge we gain about space, the more knowledge we know of that we have not yet discovered. Think about it. :)

My guess is that this universe ends somewhere, and maybe another one starts. What is outside of the universe isn't really too important though, at least for a couple billion years, since there's no way of ever traveling to the end of the universe.

I think there's an edge somewhere, ill go find it :)
