Do we live in a pac-man universe?

the answer to your question is a definite 'maybe'. We don't know yet. Possibly, we never will.\n\nSome scientists think that it is a pac-man universe. Some think that it's a pac-man universe, but since it's expanding faster than we can ever travel, we'll never know. A few think it's not a pac-man universe, and that, while there are limits to the size of the observable universe, the actual universe is infinite in size. Some think that it's not a pac-man universe, and that it's a dumb question because the universe can expand away from us faster than anything can travel through it. Pretty much all of them will admit that we don't know with anything remotely resembling certainty.\n\nIncidentally, to the best of our ability to measure it, spacetime appears to be flat, and not curved back on itself. However, a couple years ago, a physicist proposed a model involving dodecahdral 'faces' to the universe, resulting in something shaped similarly to a soccer ball, which means pac-man universe with no curvature. Again, we don't know yet, and it may be a long time before we find out... if we ever do.

Are you on the same planet as us?

My Astronomy teacher at college of the redwoods believes it not to be the like a big ball though, it may be in some way like that.  He believes it is more like a blob of water in zero gravity.  It isnt a circle but it has i would say lumps in the ball type figure.  All of this but on a much larger scale.\n\nBy the way the universe is not infinite but it is expanding.  It may be huge but we believe to have found areas that just return no data.  It is about 560 billion light years away from us.  It is illogical to even believe anything physical to be infinate.

Pacman I hope. But he is getting too cocky and what the... he is trying too hard to act cool and fresh!!! The nerve of him!

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?

I think the Big Bang is actually another universe budding off. There were mulitple Universes (Parralel Universe Theory) before the big Bang. Yet, what do u define as a universe? If it is a "world" of intelligent being maybe not (who knows). So the answer is yes and no depending on ur definiton of a universe.

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.

absolutely real. been working with the founders. there are codes in everything - your physical body is a genetic code. everything you see around you is encoded, whether natural or artificial, codes of atoms, molecules, etc. etc.\nwhen people make video games, the characters come to life because of codes of zeroes and ones.\nreason you haven't seen more of it on television is Hollywood is not sure what to do with it, and the actual discoverers do not want to sensationalize it.

Of course there are. There are millions of inhabited worlds and all are on the path to eternal life. We'll even get to meet some of them as we continue our journey.

good question.. u seem to think like the wachowski bros : ) .\n\nMaybe we are.. everyone's stuck on ZION and our virtual lives are on plane earth!!

According to modern physics, yes. Any infinite universe would actually contain an infinite amount of data, and thus would be aware of its own existence as well.If, however, you define universe as 'infinite' or 'everything' then no.

Take into consideration the billions of stars in this galaxy. Then take into consideration the billions of galaxies in the local cluster. Then take into consideration the billions of clusters in the local supercluster. Then take into consideration the billions of superclusters in the local segment of the wall. Then take into consideration the billions of segments in the Great Wall. Then take into consideration the billions of walls in the Universe. It's even possible there's more than one universe! \n\nWhat do you believe? I think there is life out there. But are they sentient and advanced? Maybe. Maybe not.

Sorry to be me, but someone has to tell you: you think as a person from the Middle Age, that is, half a millennium ago.\n\nThere was some progress since then.\n\nThere is no heaven and no vault to go beyond, in astronomy. We are on a planet orbiting around a star which is located in a galaxy, which is part of a huge galactic conglomerate, in a multidimensional expanding universe, geometrically described by the General Relativity, for which the very concept of "border" or "vault" would be ill-posed anyway.\n\nSorry, the reference framework for cosmology is Astrophysics, not the Divine Comedy.

Sorry dude, but I only have about 67% of the universe in my pocket. The rest I have no explanation for it's location.

is this the real world?
