In order for there to be an outside of the universe, there needs to be space. In order for the universe to have an edge, it needs to be finite

This is probably true.

>In order for there to be an outside of the universe, there needs to be space.
This can't be evaluated and probably isn't worth talking about (to other people). It doesn't need to anything an anything relative to the logic we see our universe being composed of, it can break it in ways we don't have the means to think of thinking of.

I'm not implying you're speaking as some kind of PhD or something, but claims like this are what confuse or put off people trying to learn about physics.

If there is something beyond the edge of universe this one will be the new universe. It is a semantics problem.

An interval from (n, inf) has a bound/edge but is not finite.

More of the universe. The universe can just expand into itself as there is, in theory, infinite space.

Light become's giant

Basically the what you would consider the big bang is still going on out there and if you we're to travel towards it you would, in the same way that a black hole condenses and unravels time, would you condense and lay a platform for a condition and lose all sense of reason other than what can be compared as a 'sleeping' sense of reason

Personally I think that dark matter causes a super relativity in mass that it occupies space with and such is what gives the detached hologram of dream in places where mass has similar varieties of dependancies, albeit on an entirely different scale of spin dependence

a giant space where our universe and other universes are located.
building some kind of universe cluster.

But that's wrong.

>>7689205
No.

The universe, by definition, is all of existence. Therefore what lies beyond the universe is what lies beyond existence, which is nothing / non-existence. Remember that non-existence is not a place or a thing but rather a lack of a place or a thing.

There is no edge.
The universe is infinite, but boundless.

Replace the word 'universe' with 'everything'.

What's beyond the edge of everything?

Nothing

It kind of depends on your definition of "beyond".

You could think of our universe as the intersection of our natural laws and spacetime.

If you were to travel far enough away in spacetime, you'll probably come across a region where our natural laws no longer hold sway. This is posited now as the "big rip" and other long-term end of universe scenarios.It's possible that that phenomenon is going on right now, suitably far enough away from us.

Likewise you could possibly encounter a region where our natural laws still apply, but is not part of our specetime. In that case, I suspect things could be held in some sort of suspended animation from our viewpoint. Possibly like what you would see of an object falling into a black hole. It's likely that time still continues on for the objects in that situation, but their timeline no longer intersects with ours.
>>
>>7687226
It doesn't work like that.
There's infinite room to expand. Unbound.

But there's still an "outside". Just not like we understand with 3d space. There's no so called "edge". No, it's not like that at all.

It's like, from the outside, you could hold the universe in the palm of your hand. Like a marble. But from the inside, trying to reach an edge is pointless. Like a treadmill.
