    Lots of people believe the Universe is infinite, but there's a good possibility that might not be the case. Which means that there would be an actual edge of the Universe. What happens at that edge? Is there a restaurant? Join Matt on this week’s episode of Space Time as he explores the greatest expanses of our Universe. So what do you find when you reach the edge? More Universe? Bubble Universes? Back where you started?! Check out this episode of Space Time to find out!

      Pandabuse / wPanda Was about to comment the same, panda. It makes sense that it would be round for this reason, as long as you interpret your choice of words correctly. The shockwave traveling through space at the edge of the universe, if somehow observed from an outside perspective, would look like an expanding bubble. Nevermind how the light would get to your camera in the first place...

      Cory Teague The thing is, God cannot be proven nor disproven, since any existence of a god which created our Universe would be outside of it and it's laws and therefore beyond any way of reaching that being with any test equipment humans can derive. The only way for that "god" to be known is if it revealed itself to us through some means, which most would refer to as prayer, miracles, or in the case of Christianity - Jesus, Islam - Mohammed, Hinduism - Krishna, Zoroastrianism - Zoroaster, Buddhism - Buddha, etc. Then you argue whose evidence is more reasonable or likely, which again, can't be tested, and you end up back at square one.
      I guess that's why they call it "faith".

      @@frankthecat9547 Incorrect - you can have a space-time be infinite and it would still be said to be expanding if the space between points/objects within are increasing (like from Dark Energy). You should read/watch up on the different forms of infinity, and how some are larger (or smaller) than others. For example, the number of decimals numbers that exist between to consecutive whole numbers is infinite - but then if you add ALL of the infinities between ALL of the infinite number of whole numbers, well, you have a larger infinity.

The family unit, our cars, our houses, our offices, our states, our countries, our planet and it's atmosphere and so on as far as we're capable of thinking including the observable universe. Maybe space really does go on forever, without limit and we simply cannot accept it because the absence of a boundary is unthinkable in our (up to now) ignorance.

    So he didn't mention if there could be a real edge to the universe. Imagine your going in a straight line much faster than the universe expands, then hit a black wall. The black wall moves further and further out in all directions exponentially as space-time expands but matter/energy can never go past the edge since you can't move forward if there is no space/time.

      The curvature of the universe is around 0.5 ( maybe lower than 0.1 or greater than 0.8 but the universe isn’t flat ) it has recently been discovered by the scientists, so let’s take an example, let us take a balloon which will never burst, now let us keep blowing it, it will become so big that we won’t notice the curve of the surface of the balloon. Also these universe discoveries is like digging up a pyramid, first we dig up the narrow pointy top then afterwards we are able to dig out the base and explore the corridors etc.

    If one were to travel at the speed of light towards the edge of the universe, time would shift the closer to the edge? Obviously only light can travel at that speed however, observable light further from its origin would perceptually increase in speed to outside observations. It doesn’t speed up but rather looks that way as the universe boundaries are widened.

    I thought about something. If the frame of reference is moving relative to the expansion of the universe, it will not be moving in its own perspective, and will view a different curvature of the universe.
    The moving being will percieve hyperbolic curvature in the direction of travel, and spherical curvature behind them. It makes sense because "space" and "time" as defined by special relativity is defined differently in different reference frames. The present for one person can be another's present, past, and future given they are moving at different velocities.
    Apparently a "flat" universe means the curvature in all directions cancels out. It is as spherical in one direction as it is hyperbolic in the other.

    Dear PBS Space Time,
    *What Happens At The Edge Of The Universe?*
    Great video, but I have some question.
    - Let’s assume our universe (from the edge inward) consists of _spacetime_.
    - Let’s assume this _spacetime_ is expanding.
    - Let’s assume our expanding _spacetime_ universe is flat.
    *Questions*
    1. Regardless of whether we can get there, what’s one meter _inside_ the “Edge?” The same spacetime as described by Einstein?
    2. What is our _spacetime_ expanding into. I.e., what’s one-meter _outside_ the “Edge?” More spacetime? Empty space consisting of no matter, energy, or particles of any kind?
    3. How can it be coherent to say time _began_ or there is an "Edge" if our spacetime is simply expanding into more spacetime? I.e., if you could get there, how could you exist if there is no time?
    4. Basically, does _time_ exist outside our universe’s spacetime “Edge?” I.e., outside the “Edge” as illustrated in the spacetime matter/energy bubble in your video?

      +yinYangMountain I believe you would be delving into the idea of dimensions. When you say spacetime, and say it is flat, this would be in the fourth dimension, not the third. So the expansion of spacetime into the fourth dimension is something a little more involved than thinking of the universe as a sphere in 3D. For example spheres in 4D can be stacked side by side just like circles in 3D (imagine plates stacked on top of each other).
      So to ask what is outside the universe, well first you would have to know fundamentally what dimension the universe lives in.

    • @yinYangMountain
      @yinYangMountain Před 7 lety +2

      MadJDMTurboBoost I'm sorry MadJDMTurboBoost, but you seem to be confusing the issue with too many irrelevant ideas. My question is classic. And I'm wondering why, with all your knowledge, you don't recognize it.
      Anyway, 2D, 3D, 500D, fundamental dimensions etc. are irrelevant.
      The classic thought experiment in physics/cosmology at university: What would happen if (assuming it's possible for this thought experiment), while standing a few centimeters from the expanding spacetime edge (as it's not correct to discuss the _fabric_ of space-time as separate components while simultaneously asserting time began at the Big Bang. Ref. Einstein) you attempted to reach past the edge? I.e., where would your hand go? [Ref. What is the universe expanding into? Ref. Is there a _there_ there? Is there time/existence outside the universe? What is _nothing?_ I.e., the absence of all-things, including time, space, logic, potential, quantum events?]
      Please attempt to give a concrete answer to my initial question. If you don't know, simply say you don't know.

    • @MadJDMTurboBoost
      @MadJDMTurboBoost Před 7 lety

      yinYangMountain I didn't answer your question. I didn't even try to. All I did was throw out some ideas in case it could spark an answer or even create more fundamental questions. I wasn't trying to answer such a philosophical question in one comment on CZcams without any research lol.
      Was just hoping to add some more to your comment. But no, I don't know what the universe is expanding into, or what the singularity came from, or if there are other universes besides this one, or if this one even exists. There are no answers, only logical deductions and reasonings. No one can say for sure dude.

      What Happens At The Edge Of The Universe? When speaking of the edge of the universe, it usually refers to the edge of the visible universe. If you could instantly travel there, you would then be at the centre of the visible universe from your new perspective. The milky way galaxy would then be at the edge of the visible universe, but would appear in it's early stages of development, since the light from billions of years ago would only be reaching that point now. So, no matter where in the visible universe or even beyond that you travel to, you would always be at a new centre of the visible universe. You could never go to an edge where there is nothing in one direction and everything in the other.
