consciousness.

isnt it eerie? i think the universe is somewhere we go when we sleep.

>>8062394
Like the entire universe is just created by my mind?
>>
>>8062401
no we just go there when we sleep. our mind is connected with the universe and when we sleep it can fully go there

thats why we cant see beyond it, because all we would see is ourselfs

You're aware we're actually in the universe right now, right?

no this isnt the universe, this is just our flawed and simplistic perception of a reality that we cannot fully comprehend in our wakened form.

when we sleep we transcend into the true universe, where we are all connected and equal.

you don't remember your dreams, do you?

it often feels like you have only been dreaming for a fraction of the time you were actually asleep, right?

that's because your waken mind cant fully perceive the universe for what it is - ambiconsciousness

why do you think ALL living organisms (even microbes) sleep?

A sphere. In all diections we look there is a point that we can not look any farther. Because the speed of light is finite, when we look far enough all we see is the beginning of the universe. That is not to say that there is no more to the universe than what we can directly observe, it simply means that the observable universe is an ever-expanding sphere.

It would look like all of time ever in a sphere

Idk where it gets more 'time' from though, like would the sphere contain the future too? if time is affected by gravity can we theoretically use gravity to change the future?
>>

the darkness around it would be time that we have yet to expand/move into

If you somehow teleported to the exact edge of the universe instantaneously, you would get to watch the big bang happen again, just redshifted to fuck. Now that I think about it though, you'd probably get obliterated by the first wave of energy released by the big bang though. The big bang was some crazy shit.
>>
>>8062390
you wouldn't be able to see anything because not even the light from the big bang would have reached you yet.

What I want to know is what would you see as that original, very-much-weakened "blast-wave" from the big bang goes over and around you?
>>
>>8062390

Exactly the same everywhere. There is no special place in the universe.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmological_principle
>>
>>8062675
Think of it like this: time, and the universe, to humans, is just an expanding wave of light, matter and other energy that pushes outward in all directions from the point the universe began. The "edge of the universe" as we know it is the farthest point that matter and energy has reached at the current time. It is moving and expanding.
>>
The surface of a 4 dimensional torus if it happens to be finite or [math]\mathbb{R}^3[/math] otherwise.
>>
>>8062683
so there is no edge of the universe and the universe just goes on forever? How did the big bang expand an infinite amount in ~14 billion years?
>>
>>8062687
so on the other side of this edge, is there no such thing as time or space? How does that work?
>>
>>8062394
kek
>>
does time exist outside of the universe?

If light were to be faster than the expansion of the universe, would we not know because the universes light is held back by gravity?
>>
>>8062714
The big bang didn't fling shit everywhere; it is the expansion of space itself. So, the big bang event is the point in time where space started expanding, everywhere.
>>
>>8062763
how can space be seen as nothing yet have the capability of containing shit in it? Surely space is more than we perceive it to be
>>
Its infinite
>>
>>8062785
Space has a structure defined by its metric. The big bang expansion can be explained as the evolution of this metric with time causing distances between stationary objects to increase with time. How do you think GR describes gravity as the curvature of space-time?
>>
>>8062808
oh ty. so without gravity time and space wouldnt exist
>>
>>8062438
>>>/x/
>>>/trash/

>>
>>8062818
That isn't what I said, at all. I used the modern theory of gravity as an example of how the structure of space-time enters into modern physics.
>>
>>8062763
>the big bang event is the point in time where space started expanding

But how can there have been time without space? Space and time are two sides of the same coin. There should be neither outside of the expanding borders of the big bang; just literal nothingness
>>
>>8062859
this.

you cant have time without space because time cant exist if nothing is happening/happened.
time and space were created in the big bang, assuming the big bang happened at a point in time would mean the big bang was already apart of something
>>
>>8062390
ur mums anus mate
>>
It's a big universe.
>>
>>8062890
black hole is answer to everything

you cant have space without time, you cant have time and no space. the matter which made up the big bang would of had to of come from a place where time and space no longer exist, like a mega black hole.

Basically, black hole has to be great enough to suck in all matter in existense until space and time no longer exist because they have nothing to contain. then it explodes (big bang) creating everything again

The universe is expanding at an accelerating rate. There is not going to be a big crunch.

Webbed system of galaxies is actually just a brain network of some network engineer. You got your own too, buddy
>>
imo it depends on the wavelength you view it at and the resolution
look up at the night sky, in a small area that isn't showing stuff in the milky way but distant galaxies. that's probably what it'll look like.

also, we barely see any of the electromagnetic spectrum, so that's just assuming you're looking at the visible light part.
>>
>>8063428
sorry for double post but think of it this way

your eyes allow you to see a near 180 degree view in any given direction both horizontally and vertically. that number may be off, but it doesn't matter. when you look at the sky at night, minus what you see due to you being in the milky way, you're seeing that ENTIRE part of the universe.

so why should it look any different than that? at the most, it would be 50% more populated than the direction you can presently look at that is furthest from the edge of the known universe.
