is space infinate?

[mikey300]

i blows your mind to think of space being infinate but is it really ifinate?

 

[Cargando]

Yes. Of course it is. It's infinite and expanding.

 

[ArcWinter]

No. Nothing in this universe is infinite or perfect.

That's not depressing, right?

[NeutralDrow]

Of course it's not infinate.

 

[The_ModeRazor]

Ifinate?
Nope, not really.
Infinite?
Well, they say it is.
Which means that there are infinite chances for Krogans invading Coruscant.
Edit:
Damnit, scratch that.

 

[The_ModeRazor]

Yes. Of course it is. It's infinite and expanding.

...then what is it expanding into?

OT: No, it's still expanding from the Big Bang.
The question is what lies beyond

More universe.
Except it has nothing in it.
Like you know, black space or whatever it's called.
Technically, it's still part of the universe.

You're going to want to look it up if you want a real answer. Best I can so is this:

If you go in a staright line, you'll eventually get back to where you started.

Yes. Of course it is. It's infinite and expanding.

That doesn't work. If it's infinite, it can't expand.

To steal a quote human stupidity is infinite

OT: yeah the word is it's expanding as well :S

 

[Valate_v1legacy]

No, it exists within an (expanding) 50 billion light year diameter.

 

[Nimbus]

Duh, it's not like the universe has a big wall marking the end or something. We don't live in a marble, despite what MIB might have to say abut it.

 

[StarStruckStrumpets]

Yes.

But here is a strange thought...
If space itself is forever expanding, what is making room for space to expand?
Will reality itself just pop one day because the balloon that is space just got too full of air?

Pure and utter incomprehensible nothingness. Inidentally it is infinite, as if you got an impossibly fast rocket and travelled in a dead straight line through space, you''d end up where you started. The human mind can not comprehend how it is possible, but somehow it is.

But human stupidity isn't in this universe, it's out of this world.

 

[TheGreenManalishi]

The universe is all the matter in existence (in this dimension - yeah) and the space it occupies.

 

[Kuchinawa212]

It doesn't blow my mind. I just never think of what could be beyond....

Once you do you get into trouble

You're right about the straight line, so, it is infinite, but seeing as it is expanding, the distance you'd have to go would be larger. See?

Point taken. I stand corrected.

Space is finite, but its scale is too large for us to comprehend.
