Why didn't you say THIS in the first place.
** thinking **
lethalfang had said that acco to one view, space-time is created with the Big Bang, and it expands too. Thus, there is a limit beyond which you cannot go. However, I am not getting into the physics of whether you can ever even reach that or not, or by the time you reached there it would have expanded further etc.
If with the BB, space-time begins to exist "everywhere", (and it did NOT exist earlier) then there is this question that comes: what is "everywhere"? What is "here" and "there" which did not exist before the BB, but now exist ?
I had asked some questions earlier (yest) praps lethal has not seen them. If space can get curved then *what* is it ? And now, what really is "here", "there" and "everywhere".
I'm pretty much clueless toward this question.
Once people thought that the shape of the universe might be curved, so you can keep going and going and you get back where you started, but the most recent data suggests that the universe is in fact pretty flat.
Using today's science, we only discuss the "observable universe," i.e., whatever is beyond is
so far away, that the time required for the light to travel from there is longer than the age of the universe, so there is simply no way to know.
But it's always interesting to ponder, even though we're walking away from the realm to hard science and into pure speculation.
There is a school of thought that, Big Bang didn't just occur from one single point, but Big Bang really is a infinite number of Big Bangs occurring from infinite number of singularities. If you buy into that, then the "size" of the universe is infinite, and
still expanding.
If the universe is finite and you are at the edge of space itself, then you cannot reach beyond where space cease to exist, and I have no idea "how would it feel."
