are there any laws of the universe and what are they? thanks!?

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.

Ahhhh! The secret of the universe is "Make yourself happy & make others happy when you can". You got that grasshopper? If you do not like this answer you can always lick balls!\n\nI have spoken....I sleep now.

For all we know there is nothing "outside" the universe, so obviously no way to look "at" it from any "outside". That way there is no way to compare the size of it, why you could probably say, the universe is infinitely small. There is a mathematical smallest size, called the Planck-Size. That is just where space ends to be space, so there is no inside. As simple as that. You don't need to invent any kind of god to think about those things.

I read in Time a few years back that in an article, scientists explained a theory that universes connect as a chain, and our Universe- is among many. The idea was quite something to read and of course the diagrams and images they used to portray this thing out was all very fascinating to say the least. It was a rational idea even to me and considering what we found with a pin tip portion of the night sky magnified 1,300 times....hundreds of thousands of Galaxy's all clustered in an array that almost seemed like you are looking at it all through a cylinder. \nSo there is no real way to know for certain, but there could be millions of them...and a chain of universes makes rational sense.

This is what everybody in science thinks is their ultimate goal.\n\nIt would be a theory of how the entire universe works where all the other ideas and theories about everythign all agree with each other and all fit together perfectly. This would range from the creation of the universe, how stars are formed, all the way down to sub-atomic physics. And chemistry, biology etc. \n\nSurely everythign in the whole universe is working according to the same rules?

Yes Very Easy,\n\nMany rational arguments exists, however I will show you one such argument:\n\nWhen one observes the Universe, it can be seen that the Universe is ordered, and this order is regulated by laws. These laws are what we call the laws of Physics, others refer to them simply as the laws of nature. \n\nA fundamental question arises, who or what established these laws? Did they create the Universe that they govern or did the Universe create them so as to bring order to itself?\n\nNeither case can be logically possible, since matter in the Universe is dependent on the laws that govern it, and the laws are a function of matter. Therefore there must be something independent of both matter and the natural law that created them.\n\nIt is the Creator, the only one who is unlimited, self-subsistent and eternal that is worthy of being worshipped. The Creator in Islam is called Allah\n[Partially copied and re-worded from the book “Islam and Science” Al-Khilafah Publications]\n\nThe Athiests Bedrocks:\n\n(1) Materialism (Steady State Universe)\n(2) Evolution\n\nThese have now been demolished:\n\n(1) The recent discovery of the Big Bang has killed the steady state Universe model that the Atheist have held so long.\n\n(2) All modern scientific data no longer supports evolution (however many scientists still remain shakled to this dead thoery, why? blind faith I assume)\n\nFor every Atheist argument a Thiest counter exists, evolution is really  the ONLY thing that is the last bastion of hope, and even this is dead (except they deny this EVEN though IT GOES AGAINST THE CORE PRINCIPLE OF SCIENCE)\n\nEDIT:\n\nAs for the question of life after death, I've answered that on yahoo answers more than twice (so heres a copy):\n\nPeople misunderstand the correct model of life and death. \n\n(1) Death is not the opposite of life (Dualism), Death is simply the ABSENCE of life.\n(2) If death is nothing, then what were you before you was alive? You were nothing i.e. dead, so the correct order is lifer AFTER death and not the other way round like some people assume. So it is incorrect to say that no one has come back from death, since everyone that has life has come from death.\n\n\nI hope that helps\n\nAnhar Hussain Miah

interface? Laws of nature is something than people discover thru observations and exprimentation. Divine laws is something that people make up to help maintain a civilized society. In the past, religion was used to explain natural phenomena (lightning, seasons, etc.), but by now science came up with much better answers.

Law of Conservation of Energy states\n\nEnergy and matter cannot be created or destroyed, only transfered\n\nAt the big bang, the temperature was 100 billion degrees C. So hot that everything was energy.\n\nThe big bang propelled out all this energy where some was transfered into matter.\n\nThe tempterature of the universe is now 5K but still the total energy and matter now is equal to the total energy and matter at the big bang

Who can honestly tell you here? Our finite minds cannot begin to fathom the infinite workings of the universe. There could have been a countless number before us; 42; 3; or we could be it.\n\nWho knows?

Greetings,\n\nKinda outta my league, but perhaps the link I posted can be of some use to you.\n\nDiscover had an article last year about a couple of inflation cosmology theorists who believed the speed of light, while constant now, was not constant in the very early universe, it was in fact slower.  Not sure about all that, but thought you might want to go digging for the article.\n\n-matt

Science is a faith.  To answer your question, perhaps physical laws were created from the perfect mind of God simultaneous with His creation of our physical universe.

I'm certainly no expert, but from my high school physics days I recall something about Bode's law.  You might be able to Google or Wikipedia it.  It was an explanation, in Newtonian physics terms, of why the planets are where they are.

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.

Of course.  The laws of physics are what we know currently, as we advance and learn more they will expand.  Gallaleo did and was thought to be insane back then, Eintstein did and it expanded the laws of physics and the universe as we know it.  It's just a matter of time before we discover something else and expand what we currently know.

Universal Law of Gravity.\nALL objects attract each other with a force of gravitational attraction. This force of gravitational attraction is directly dependent upon the masses of both objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance which separates their centers.\n\nWhere ever you are gravity has got you some way, however weak, something somewhere will be pulling you towards it.
