does the universe ever come to a stop.?

Im afraid my eyes arent good enuf to see that far... Its an unaswerable question

So far our observations are leaning more towards open, because our universe is expanding at an accellerating rate, and it shows no sign of slowing, if it were closed (which we havent found enough matter in the universe to help this theory) then the expansion would slow, come to a stop, and come back and collapse back in on itself. But so far evidence is telling us it won't.

I believe it. I also believe in the theory, in which, as you may also know, whole cosmos is going to turn back into that extra atom. What I wonder alot, when the expansion of the universe will stop and start to shrink back :=)))

No, numbers never stop.  There is a sign for infinity that looks like a sideways, stretched number 8.

There is an end to this universe.  But, it is constantly expanding and contracting.  Empty space is what lies outside of it.  The universe is encroaching into empty space.

The universe and space aren't the same thing. The universe was CREATED in space. Before the creation of the universe, it was just space. The universe now occupies space, and yes the universe is not infinite and according to scientists, the Big Crunch theory is the end of the our universe. However, space will still exist because the universe and space aren't the same thing.

The universe has no end, just as the surface of a sphere has no end. In terms of the surface you can't describe its end, only in terms of a higher dimensional geometry. In that sense, "beyond" is meaningless since it is a term to relate to the same dimension as the universe. It's like "beyond the end of the world" for the surface of Earth -  there is no end, and at some time you might return to where you started from.

Unfortunately never. You think one thing has been resolved or is coming to an end and something else comes a long. It will never end. You might as well just go with the flow and learn to cope with it

It doesn't end.  It goes on. If you took a line and ran it in any direction off the planet's surface it would just keep going into infinity,  if you could freeze time and walk on that screen,  you would never get to the end.  There is no end.

It is quite possible for the universe to be both finite and without a boundary. No wall, but still it doesn't go on forever. Here's a way of visualizing it. Imagine that nomatter which direction you choose, you will eventually get back to your starting point if you go far enough in a 'straight' line. Impossible? Free your mind. It happens in two dimensions on the surface of a sphere. While it currently looks like the universe really is infinite, such three dimensional spheres were models used for finite universes until the data showed they are probably wrong.

dont worry about "time". remember that big circle curving back into itself? aka,, infinity.

All the techno babble apart - space has no end.\n\nThere is a distinction between space and universe. When talking about space in common man's language we talk about what is outside earth's atmosphere. That space has NO END. It is infinite in all directions and contains the moon, the planets, the sun, the starts, the galaxies, our universe formed after the big bang and beyond (probably several more universes formed of separate big bangs that are dying or forming like stars do).\n\nNow about a sphere's surface having no end but an area, well this has nothing to do with end of either universe or space or a sphere.. when viewed from the center of a sphere, a line drawn in any direction will intersect the surface of the sphere and therefore the entire surface of the sphere is an end. Space on the other hand has no end, it extends out to infinity.\n\nA simple way of understanding this is imagine you are in a room in a building. The room ends with the walls, but beyond the walls there is something - maybe more rooms. The rooms end with he building's walls but even beyond that wall there are more buildings. There is no end, if you imagine an end and if you could stand at the end there would still be something beyond that end more empty space maybe. No matter how large a number you imagine there is always something bigger. Numbers just like space go till infinity.

never ..Nothing begins nothing ends..All we see are changes from one form to another..

Forever doesn't have a start, that's partly what the word means. If the universe has a beginning, we don't how it began or what was there beforehand, there are only theories. The universe as we know it has been estimated to be at least 15 billion years old but, no more than 20 billion years old. (Different websites have different numbers though)

The universe is incomprehensibly large and, please, don't try to argue it isn't - it is - no person who has ever lived could draw a comparison between the size of the universe and ANYTHING else - there is absolutely NOTHING to measure it against.  I've read articles saying scientists are able to see to the center of the universe now - I'm sorry but that is garbage - the universe is endless.  You can not see the center of something that is endless or, infinite in size.\nI'm not perfect, I admit there may be flaws in my logic so, please, help me learn if you think you have something to add.\nSince the universe is never ending, the odds are minuscule there are no other sentient beings anywhere.  I can't even begin to comprehend how minuscule - in fact, I doubt they can be calculated - if the universe is endless they can not be.\nThis leads me to believe there are aliens in the universe.  It's possible that aliens are here and have been here for a long, long time - but it's also possibly they've never been here.  \nWhat would an alien look like?  There is no way of knowing.

Yes, everything around us is made of protons, neutrons, electrons or photons (light) for the most part. We can't extract the energy (usually) because it is already in the lowest state possible or there is no way to get to a lower state. It is only when we give it a chance to go to a lower energy state (by chemical reactions, etc) that we get energy out.\n\nAs to whether the universe can never end....it certainly can't as long as we stay away from singularities where the law of energy conservation is violated. Unfortunately, General Relativity predicts such singularities.

Assuming there is such a thing.\nAssuming that by 'we', you don't literally mean you and I.\nAssuming humanity doesn't destroy itself.\nAssuming the Universe won't end before.\n\nyes.
