I've seen several pieces of evidence in support for the fact that the universe IS expanding. That is true. I don't think that the universe has any boundaries: I believe it is impossible to hit a wall and not be able to pass it. I also believe that the universe has a FINITE amount of matter in it.
But something else Hawking mentioned in one of his books is that it is possible that one could continue traveling in one direction within the universe, and eventually end up on the other side (like traveling around the Earth: There are no boundaries, there's a finite amount of matter, and yet you never come to an end) |

QUOTE truefusion: Where does he mention that? I don't remember reading that in the bible anywhere. If he did, please tell me what book and passage I would like to reread that one. QUOTE @Truefusion, that maybe true in christian lore but it is never mentioned in the bible or at least the catholic and lutheran versions at least. Heh, that's cause it's not in the Bible. The Bible lacks some information on specific events that really happened. It's in the Gospel of Barnabas: http://www.barnabas.net/barnabasP178.html But, i wonder, will you not believe it, just cause it's not in the Bible? |

There are these and that theories surrounding the existence of another Universe, since it is not proved the concept and the word to describe neither exist. And we still live with the idea of Universe. This is a hard guess because there is no proof to think that they actually exist. And even if they exist we have no communication with them nor such communication is not feasible.
Therefore, in my personal opinion such kind of thinking are just a fantasy. Both the sides have their points that will never meet. It is like a saying, "There is three-mouth snake, but no one has seen yet"... |

And that is a good point for a lot that science and religion have to offer. Funny how much they are similar more than they are different.
Science does offer a lot of imperical evidence and religion offer spiritual evidence. Whether you believe in one or the other, thet truly are based on faith. yes even science. |

well yeah there's other galaxy's but the UNIVERSE is intfinite. if you're saying that there's another universe then you're really talking about alternate dimensions.

matto to your post about expansion of the universe scientists hae noe for years that the universe has expanded. I was toying with astromony back in my teenage years.
I believe the expansion had to do wit hte way galaxies are moving. I recommend some of these readings http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universe#Expa...Big_Bang_theory http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubble%27s_Law it should explain a little bit on how the universe is expanding. @truefusion I know about the mission chapters of the bible, some say its a dirty secret that the vatican is holding, I beeive another missing part of the bible was apoclytica or something like that. It has to do with more of the book of revalation of course their the mysterious book of jesus wrote himself as well, but that another topic to think about. |

QUOTE Firstly, time has been proven to be a dimension. Secondly, if you were to experience time 2x faster, then the day would be 12 hours, not 48. I don't know what I was thinking there. Thanks for correcting me (in both instances). |

Considering all the stars that we can see with just our naked eye when there is no light pollution I think that the universe is infinite. It can go on and on. There are probably alot of differant solar systems with suns like ours. It makes the most sense in my mind anyway. I suspect that there are indeed other universes that could be travelled to by spacial annomolies or something. I often wonder if there are parallel earths and universes as well. I sometimes wish that I was born or was able to travel to the future because I would hope that at some time |
