In World Politics circles, the term Third World is outdated. It was used to refer to the African and Asian nations that were newly independent following World War II. During the Cold War, it also referred to nations that refused to align with either of the rivaling world powers (US and USSR). The First World referred to the developed nations especially the United States and its allies. The Second World referred to those nations that were in the former USSR's sphere of influence as well as Russia. The current 'politically correct' but ambiguous terms to use are developed, less developed, developing, under-developed and resource-rich.

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.

Whoa... deep, man.\nBut if you're going to go into that, then who named anything?  Who decided to use a certain word for every object that we have a name for?  Who made all the adjectives, nouns, verbs, adverbs, prepositions, etc. that we use everyday?  It started with some primative human ancestor, but how did it get to what it is today?\n\nWow, I just asked a lot more than I answered.  My bad.  Sorry.

Usually the ancienct world but I have heard people refer to others without denoting their intended world.  The context of the conversation or lecture will usually explain which world as well.

I believe the name "Earth" is derived from Latin. The ancient Greeks however considered earth a goddess naming her Ge or Gaeia in English translation. They still use the name today for earth in their language.

Because the united-statesians think they are the center of the universe.  Many will argue that there is only ONE America.  I think the US is the only COUNTRY with America in its name, but they forget that all of North, Central, and South America are THE Americas.

The world is the world, and people are people. Human nature hasn't changed one shred since the beginning of recorded history. There are good moments and bad in history. But, in the whole history of recorded time, there has always been violence and war and oppression and anger and such.\n\nThe world may or may not get better, but the point is to make our own little worlds better. Our little worlds of our families and friends and neighbors. That is really as much as we can do.

The trick is, that it doesn't matter how wonderful the world truly is, or how horrible. It is all about the matter of perspective. Some third world countries we consider you living in paradise, and some Scandinavians, say, in hell. The epithet wonderful is really about the state of mind you are now, and can change the next second. \nThe world can become wonderful for you, if you want it, without any changes actually taking place. It would be your appreciation that made it change for better, or your disapproval, that made it change for worse in your eyes, as indeed in the eyes of many people.

In the physical sense, it has not as it is a sphere.\n\nIn a time frame...\nOur world began with the first sign of life.\nAnd it will die when something in the Universe collide with it.\nIn the meantime, humanity will be wiped out by one thing or another, pretty much like the dinausors.\nAnd another race will be born after that. Not necessarily human but an improvement on us... humans who could not get it right.\n\nFor the believers...\nGOD did stuff up twice.\nHopefully, he'll get it right the third time.
