where is the universe?

Everywhere. All around us.

The big bang is the creation of the universe. Scientists have recorded an echo in space, it is the echo of the big bang.

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

taking into consideration the size of the universe, i believe earth is just a tiny speck on the universe. to think that we are alone would be an ignorant statement, i dont believe in aliens in flying saucers, but other life forms and organisms living their lives as we are, maybe not the same lifestyle but still living

big bang. and its a big universe, we cant be all alone

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

Where's the question?

You must not be a native English speaker. I think what you are asking is:\n\n1. Is outer space empty besides planets and stars...?\n2. How and when did the universe come into existence?\n\nNo; space is not empty it is filled with gas and dust(known as the "interstellar medium"). The density of the ISM varies widely between a few to hundreds of molecules per cubic meter. Even intergalactic space is not empty. It also contains traces of gas and dust. Latest estimates are 15 billion years for the age of the universe

The Earth is in the Solar system, the solar system is in the Galaxy and the galaxy is in the Universe AKA outer space. The answer to your question is not known, some say the Universe is the end of that line, stuff is made of atoms, atoms are made of protons, neutrons and electons, protons, neutrons and electrons are made of quarks, which are made of (I think) gluons, huons and mesons. I think that their is another universe, say a ten or eleven dimensional universe, that holds infinitely more four dimesional universes, like ours, this is part of string theory.

Just supose that the universe end in some point, that has a boundary. What would be outside? Nothing? And... what is between Mars and the Earth? Also nothing. The universe is... "the nothing", and never ends. Anyway, and suposing that you forget the relativity theory and you want to know where is the star/planet/thing that is farest from the "centre", you can say that the radius of the universe is less or equal to the speed of light times the age of the univers.

where's the question ?

Science nor anyone else can answer your question! As far as science can determine, our universe (space) is not contained within any 'thing' else. If anyone tries to tell you otherwise, they're just blowin' smoke.

How do you define what a universe is?  I define the universe as everything there is.  Obviously the set containing everything does not allow the existence of something outside of it.  In other words, if you were to show me evidence of another universe I would say that what you have shown me is part of this universe.\n\nBy my definition there can only be one universe.  Do you have a different definition of what a universe is?

the universe is expanding i do believe that cuz all the evidence our scientists have gathered over the yrs points in this direction. \n\n    as to where it is expanding, i guess u mean into what. well no one knows. we haven't been able to see what is at the end of the universe so we can't know what is beyond it. the notion of an endless universe is not right because then the big bang theory would have to be wrong. see, if the universe were endless then it would immediately imply that it had no beginning which has been proved wrong.\n  \n   so your question is pretty hard to answer directly. but if u look at it in another way then u can say that the universe is filling up some empty space just like water fills up a bucket slowly as u increase the level of water in it.

the universe is finite yet has no boundaries. it may be something like the two dimensional surface of a sphere.  nothing inside or outside the sphere exists for the two dimensional surface.  nothing exists outside the universe in this model.

The universe and space aren't the same thing. The universe was CREATED in space. Before the creation of the universe, it was just space. The universe now occupies space, and yes the universe is not infinite and according to scientists, the Big Crunch theory is the end of the our universe. However, space will still exist because the universe and space aren't the same thing.

omg what do you think????-.- the universe-duh! the solar system kinda is in the universe!!!! omg...stupid question (no offence)
