The Universe is so huge and we are part of it, isnt it really a fact that we are part of a continuous process?

It hit me when I was a teenager that we are a part of the universe which has become aware of itself. We don't\ntranscend the universe. We are subject to all of its laws.

greetings....\n\ni actually believe that we are not alone...i have my own encounters... the universe is big....so big we cannot even start to comprehend how big it is... chances are, life could actually be abundant in the universe, but the degree of intelligence could vary widely, maybe life exist only in microbial form, or with intelligence much superior than ours... but for now only earth is known to harbor life... aren't we lucky we are here?

Universe is ONE and it is ever expanding.\n\nThere are many solar systems like ours in our Galaxy. There are billions of galaxies in the universe.\n\nIf you are interested to know more, check the site http://www.space.com site.

Universe in not infinite. It is finite and constantly expanding. Yes there are more galaxies than no. of grains of sands in all beaches of the world. This universe is unimaginably huge!

This "nothing" is what we perceive without the laws of physics. Our universe is limited by the knowledge we have about it. Recent theories (the "M" theory) suggest that endless universes exist, and sometimes they even collide one into other. Probably, out there, beyond the boundaries of 12 billions light years, others dimensions, other plan of existence exist.

No.\nThe Universe is a physical object.  It has a definite size and shape.  The Universe is so big that we do not know its limits.  Our ability to comprehend is not the problem, our technology is.  If we had the right equipment, we could see to the end of the Universe and mesure its size and shape.

There is some controversy over that. It is difficult to account for the expansion of the universe if it doesn't. At least at the very beginnings of the big bang.

I hate to be the philosopher but that is why the question still reamins. No one can accuratly tell what lies beyond the boundries of the universe. Is there another? Is it just white noise? I believe that space is infinite and our "universe" could well be a part of a cluster of "multiverses". i was once told that the universe is expanding in the same way that a balloon is blown up. So what lies beyond our universe? I say space, space, and more space! \n\nIf our universe began with the "big bang" then that would mean that at some point the universe had collapsed upon itself, leaving empty space.

Well to describe how big the universe is, There are as many galaxys as grains of sand on a beach. I'm pretty sure we would find another body of life, The universe is endless as we know it. There may be another earth out there where dinosaurs are still the rulers of the planet but, even if we did have the technology the goverment would never tell us. It would cause to much religion chaos and destory them. The goverment likes religion its all about control of actions.

No one can definitively answer this question; however, I like to believe that the universe works in continuous cycles.  The universe "implodes" on itself through a series of attractive forces (gravity) and, once that universe is at its smallest point a reaction occurs, sending matter back into space.  It has recently been conjectured on MSN News (and Yahoo) that this reaction occurs in less than one trillionth of a second.\n\nThe cycle then recommences.

True, u r right in this observation. Our universe is under much more scrutiny because we can see and observe a lot many things, so if we feel its complex is very obvious

It's amazing isn't it?! It's so beyond our technology to fully test the theory though. I do however believe in parallel universes because math proves that you can have more dimensions beyond what we possess. Have to be able to open your mind to understand, ya know?

Ah yes, people like to give mumbo jumbo bullshiet answers to this question to confuse you further.\n\nThe thing is, we really have no idea. This is half the reason the answer is so confusing.\n\nScientists, like myself, have defined the universe as everything and like to say it isn't expanding into anything because, quite frankly, they don't know what's going on and it's easier to just define the universe as that for the time being. I don't know, neither does anyone else.\n\nFrom recent science, we know that the universe is absolutely finite, therefore it's size is increasing; it is getting larger. This can also be seen by looking at microwave radiation maps of the universe.\n\nSo then, what is it expanding into? Well, if ANYONE could answer this question, they would probably go down in history as greater than even people like Einstein, Newton, Galileo...but the reality is, we don't know. All answers to this question are purely spectical and usually formed to fit a belief system that has been adapted from that person.\n\n\nPersonally, it's probably expanding into more space, which probably contains an indefinite number of universes and extends infinitely.\n\nBut that is only my personal view. Just like all other views.

I don't believe so.  If there is any merit to the Big Bang theory (and there's lots of scientific evidence in support of it), then the universe has a radius of currently about 14 billion light-years, and is expanding.  \n\nThat's pretty big, but it's not infinite.

The universe is old..the Milky-way galaxy here is young...we..we are a flash in the night ...life is everywhere WE are made up from the universe...Life else where? Most definitely..how self centered to believe other wise..very narrow minded and shallow indeed.

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.\n\nThere is so much of this universe that we do not know.
