We can't comprehend a truely infinite universe (especially a timeless one), let alone try to scientifically explain one, so we have decided that since we couldn't figure it out that way, we'd make up our own story about it beacuse it's much easier that way.



No string theory offers a way to explain how the universe could infinitely exsist by
two membranes(other dimensions) ramming each other starting another big bang. And if matter/energy can do that then time can exsist infinitely to. I think its harder to comprehend a non infinite universe. People can not accept that the big bang could have been the true begining, and that their could be a end.

saying weather the universe is infinate or not depends on your definition of the universe.

My definition of universe is absolutly everything. The planest, stars, black holes, you know absolutly everything is part of the universe.

So if the universe is absolutly everything, then the end of the univerese would be absolutly nothing. My definition of absolutly nothing would be something that simple does not exist, if the end of the universe is absolutly nothing, then the edge doesnt exist, thus the universe being infante because an edge is simply not there.

It's hard to explain, but yeah...

Yeah thats good but if everything converts to energy and its evenily spead out in the
universe thats the same thing as noithing because no farther action is possible for that
reason time would have ended to.

Many people suggest that at the end of the universe is Heaven.

I don't say this as I don't believe in the concept of any religion.

I have absolutely no clue as to the answer to this question.

Actually, my universe came to an end, on December 9th, last year. I've decided to build a little replica of the universe that I knew. :D

Ding! Ding!

The universe is an ever-expanding, formless mass composed of every substance known to man (and many that aren't). It continues to reach forward, slowly breaking into the dim nothingness beyond existence, at speeds near (or beyond) the speed of light. That being said, the universe is endless; even if someone built the fastest starship and continued sailing forever in one direction, they'd always be able to continue.

Now, another question is this: is there an end to habitable planets in the universe? Does matter stop coming together to form planets, way out near the "edge"? Or does matter simply appear out of nothingness, slowly becoming the planets we know of today?
