whats beyond space???

The concept of "beyond space" is flawed; space-time has no beyond for there to be anything in at all. Our limited perception of the stuff around us in three dimensions leads us to imagine the universe or even all of space as some giant sphere or disc of matter floating in space, but really, space and time being the same thing mean that our universe and all within it is everything we can perceive, full stop. Ergo, there is no inside to be outside of. \n\neither that or its turtles all the way down :-)

Outer space extends to the end of the universe. Further, the universe is constantly expanding. No-one knows if anything is beyond the end of the universe.

What does this question have to do with "Astronomy & Space"?

Nothingness.\n\nOr maybe it's encroaching on another Universe?  Hmmmm......

Several theories on that one... As mentioned above, Hawking is of the impression that the "Universe" is expanding, and that each entity is moving away from all other entities, such as if you were to put dots on a balloon and then inflate it. In this theory, what's beyond space seems to be more space, but the line that intersects you, the actual space, and the "stuff beyond space" seems to be straight, but it's curved like the outside of that balloon. So, hypothetically, if you ask the question again, but this time using the "stuff beyond space" as the midpoint, and repeat the process a whole bunch of times, then eventually the "stuff beyond space" is the back of your head, because you would have gone all the way around the "balloon". This indicates the curvature of space over the course of time.\n\nThe longstanding "infinity" and "heaven" are also prominent theories.\n\nYou might also enjoy the book: "Time, Space, and the Fabric of the Cosmos" by Brian Greene. It goes into what several of history's leading physicists believed, including Newton and Einstein. I enjoyed it moer than "A Breif History of Time". Hawking also wrote a follow-up called "A Breifer History of Time", which I have a copy of, but I haven't read that one yet.

Is our universe in another universe?  \n\nBefore we can address that question, we must first define universe.  \n\nThe word universe denotes all space and everything (matter, energy) contained within it.  The prefix uni means one.  The root verse means word, carnate message, meaningful substance, matter.  Questions regarding our universe persist today.  Does it have a beginning and end, or does it go on forever and ever?  Is it linear or curved?  If it has limits of length or curvature, then what lies beyond the Universe?  If something lies beyond the Universe, then can’t we accurately call that the Universe?\n\nSome lay people and some scientists conceive of the universe as infinite space.  Others define the universe as finite, or limited (perhaps curved), space.  Still others incorporate the elements of matter and/or energy into their definition of the universe, as opposed to the space beyond matter and energy.\n\nGiven these concepts of our universe, some scientists conclude that the “totality of space could be infinite. Shrink an infinite space by an arbitrary amount, and it is still infinite. (Scientific American March 2005).”  \n\nAs to the notion that we live in an ever expanding universe, moving away from every other universe on the fabric of space-time, some scientists are careful to point out that “\nAndromeda, our nearest large galactic neighbor, is actually moving toward us, not away. Such exceptions arise because Hubble's law describes only the average behavior of galaxies (Scientific American March 2005).”\n\nIn accordance with your supposition that our universe is in another universe, “it has been hypothesized by some scientists that the universe may be part of a system of many other universes, known as the multiverse (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universe).” Modern astrophysicists talk about multiple "pocket" universes that branch off from one another.  Stephen Hawking points out that parallel pocket universes can have no effect on a real observer inside a single pocket, so, according to Hawking, they are theoretical baggage that should be eliminated from cosmology, the study of the origins of the universe.\n\nSome string theories define the universe as a three-dimensional space in an invisible space having more dimensions. This is, in essence, a universe within a universe.  Our zone, a “braneworld” could periodically bounce into another parallel braneworld.  This may create what would appear as a Big Bang from one perspective or a Big Bounce of alternating expanding and contracting universe from another perspective.  Such a cataclysmic event is thought to occur 300 billion years from now, resulting in the rearranging and creation of a new universe.\n\nIs our universe inside another universe?  Well, apparently the Men in Black had it right.  Our universe seems to be inside of something else, another universe, called the multiverse.\n\nSteve\n:-D

There currently is a "limit" to space; however, the universe is still expanding from the Big Bang, so the edge of space is constantly moving away from a central point. Beyond this, there is nothing, but unfortunately, this is almost impossible for our brains to conceive because the laws of physics that make up our known world do not exist outside the known universe.

where ?\nin outer space. there is room enough.\nor am I wrong ?

It means that we can measure the size of the universe, but if you tried to approach an "edge" of the universe, all you would do would be to extend it. Wherever you go, the universe goes with you, so it is unbounded. You cannot go "outside" the universe.

My opinion through many meditative thoughts:\n\nI believe our universe exists as a point in what you call 'the void'. A point having the geometric meaning of no volume, dimensionless.\n\nI believe what you are considering the void is what I call space. Our universe is what we can view, touch and explain through science we have developed. Space on the other hand is an infinitely dimensional medium, in which our universe was born. \n\nOur universe is nothing more than a 'disturbance' in space, and in space our universe exists as a point. This point is a fraction of infinity, yet everything is a fraction of infinity. So in the humble realization that we are nothing (a fraction of infinity), we realize we are equal to everything we can fathom, as it too is a fraction of infinity no matter how large.\n\nSo, through the realization that we are nothing comes the discovery that we can be equal to as much as we can fathom. \n\nI believe this means everything that makes up the universe and space has its own existence or presence known to space and must exist.  This existence holds true for our universe and what we would consider other universes. The disappearance, or non-existance of any defined object and its position in space no matter how small, down to a point, would truly have mind boggling consequences. \n\nIf time travel is possible than there must be alternate universes, as we know it.  It is a deadening thought to ponder.  Almost pointless until we figure out gravity, which I believe will open the door to all other understandings.

space is anything that is occupied by matter...\ndefined by dimensions...\nlike height, length and width...\n\nouter space...\nit is very vast..\njust imagine...\nyour country...\na part of the earth...\nwhich is a part of the solar system...\nwhich is a part of the milky way galaxy...\nand to think there are soooooooo many other galaxies....\nthat's outer space...\nan unimaginable dimension...

I got a heavenly call: Meet me Beyond the universe.How to find my way?Universe?\nYes,not only aliens ,I believe in other universe and planning to visit soon.Will you give a company?

What you really mean to ask is, if the Universe is expanding, a phenomenon that by every conceivable standard of measurement and observation is universally (pun definitely intended) accepted by the scientific community to indeed be fact....\n\n...then what is the Universe exanding into????\n\nThe spooky thing is that no one knows. Science, with \nthe help of the Hubble Telescope has been able to see\nonly about 13 Billion light years out but the Universe itself is estimated to be about 14-15 Billion years old.\n\nThe universe is expanding into the vast emptiness of \nspace. Some scientists have speculated that there may be other universes that extend far beyond our own \nbut its mere speculation. NASA hopes that the next generation of Space Telescope technology scheduled to be launched in 2011, will have the capcity to observe  the very edge of the universe about 15 Billion years away and the very first light created in the aftermath of the Big Bang.

Which is the end of expanding universe? If any end exists, what will be behind this end?\n\nBefore we can address that question, we must first define universe.  \n\nThe word universe denotes all space and everything (matter, energy) contained within it.

That may be determined in 300 billion years, when it stops expanding (like a balloon).  If any end exists, what will be behind this end?  A multiverse void containing other expanding and contracting balloons, referred to as universes, may exist beyond our own.\n\nSteve\n:-D

Well, its been theorised that what is beyond the universe is a fourth dimensional bowl. Basically our universe is a 3d soup encased in a four dimensional bowl. How was that made? I would think the same way that our universe was created. I mean, we have only just begun to comprehend the world around us, many of the theories that are coming out are exactly that theories because we really dont know. Untill we can explore more of our universe, we arent really going to know, and if its in a 4th dimension, we really wont know. But, what you could do, is look at some of the sources, and hopefully those will help.

By definition, there ARE UFOs drifting around somehwere in space.  It stands for Unidentified Flying Object, and that can consist of just about anything that we can't identify.  The real question is:  is there other intelligent life in space?  The answer to this, no one knows.\n\nPersonally, I think there is.  But that's just me.
