Eternity? That part is optional.

Isnt it impossible to thing that there would be NOTHING outside of the universe when it goes boom? but how could there be something, isnt everything contained in the universe, or maybe like, we are just in some little glass globe and we are one GIANT and UBERLY superiour races type of bacteria, i dunno, im gonna like explode if i keep thinking.

The universe is everything, unless you subscribe to theory of multiple universes, but then what's outside of them?

omg. I finally feel lucky Ive taking a chemistry and philosophy class before...some of you guys need to grasp the concept of common sense.

[22:58:41] [CDL-ObnoxiousFrog]: i just realized that the universe is rapidly trying to kill us all
[22:58:43] [Inf|TheSims2]: and having
[22:58:43] [CDL-ObnoxiousFrog]: its scary
[22:58:46] [Inf|TheSims2]: no success
[22:58:47] [Setari]: but i still dont have any money
[22:58:56] [mag]: It's been trying for the last billion years Frog.

you're gonna get a brain cramp.

The Matrix has you.

Lol. Are you saying our universe is like a fishtank in some dudes house. Rofl the big bang was just the fishtank needing a new filter or something.

Well the definition of universe is absolute, it implies that there are finite amounts of it.

Which is true, we are finite parts of the universe. The concept of making infinity a finite entity is quite a brainpain.

Universe equals everything, to imagine beyond that is to imagine nothing. The idea of parallel universes was invented to help with the concept of finite infinity. The idea that time is infinity where space is not helps quantify our existance as slightly less than meaningless.

On that note, I miss Sliders.

ok. but i wont bother with reading this whole thread, but on the first page your discussing wether or not the universe will end in fire or ice, i side with those that pick ice, though the correct quote says fire, but hes wrong, the universe will continue to expand forever because of "dark matter". the more dark matter pushes, the more energy it gets to push, and it is accountable for 70% of matter in this universe, it will expand this universe untill the energy death of it. entropy is a bitch.

The universe was formed with the big bang which created the first element, hydrogen. but do to massive amounts of gravity and energy, it fused into more complex elements (and eventually minerals) and it over time clumped up in massive clouds which led to the first planets. The universe can never really end, there just isnt enough energy to destroy all of it. Its constantly changing, creating and destroying new stars (essentially the origin of all matter).

Yes, i am

itll end raiden, when all the matter has been used up, sure, you cannot destroy matter, but there will be a time when all of it has been forged in the core of a star and becomes an atom that cannot have a nuclear reaction

the energy cycle is essentially infinite. as long as there is matter there will be energy. I GUESS its possible for every single star to burn up, but maybe in like 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0 years.
