      Pandabuse / wPanda Was about to comment the same, panda. It makes sense that it would be round for this reason, as long as you interpret your choice of words correctly. The shockwave traveling through space at the edge of the universe, if somehow observed from an outside perspective, would look like an expanding bubble. Nevermind how the light would get to your camera in the first place...

      How would it be flat if everything is 3 dimensionally infinite in all directions, and the universe infinitely expanding or even being infinite at all is just a theory

      Cory Teague The thing is, God cannot be proven nor disproven, since any existence of a god which created our Universe would be outside of it and it's laws and therefore beyond any way of reaching that being with any test equipment humans can derive. The only way for that "god" to be known is if it revealed itself to us through some means, which most would refer to as prayer, miracles, or in the case of Christianity - Jesus, Islam - Mohammed, Hinduism - Krishna, Zoroastrianism - Zoroaster, Buddhism - Buddha, etc. Then you argue whose evidence is more reasonable or likely, which again, can't be tested, and you end up back at square one.
      I guess that's why they call it "faith".

      @@frankthecat9547 Incorrect - you can have a space-time be infinite and it would still be said to be expanding if the space between points/objects within are increasing (like from Dark Energy). You should read/watch up on the different forms of infinity, and how some are larger (or smaller) than others. For example, the number of decimals numbers that exist between to consecutive whole numbers is infinite - but then if you add ALL of the infinities between ALL of the infinite number of whole numbers, well, you have a larger infinity.

    The Universe is either open, closed, or flat. If the universe is closed, then space curves into it self, and we would be analogous to two dimensional beings on the surface of a sphere. If the universe is open or flat, then the universe is infinite. In all three cases, there is no edge to the universe.

      +Eugene Khutoryansky I think the question of an "edge" to the universe is more of a philosophical one. It also creates debate and perhaps new ideas about what other options there may be when dealing with very distant places in our cosmos. We need to be more open minded about all the possible forms our universe could take on as well as the possibility not only for other dimensions, but structures and physics we still do not know exist.

    I wonder if, as modern intelligent humans, we're hard-wired to accept boundaries? The family unit, our cars, our houses, our offices, our states, our countries, our planet and it's atmosphere and so on as far as we're capable of thinking including the observable universe. Maybe space really does go on forever, without limit and we simply cannot accept it because the absence of a boundary is unthinkable in our (up to now) ignorance.

      If it were not expanding, it would be a finite number, and therefore not infinity.
      An infinite mass, number, etc is something that we cannot measure nor count correctly, because its size is changing constantly.
      So if our Universe is ever expandning forever and ever, its size is Infinity, but why shouldn't there be wave functions? Our time limit is very small. Remember that time is relative. Maybe the expanding universe we see today is just a kind of up-wave that takes some billion years before it converts into a down-wave?

    Dear PBS Space Time,
    *What Happens At The Edge Of The Universe?*
    Great video, but I have some question.
    - Let’s assume our universe (from the edge inward) consists of _spacetime_.
    - Let’s assume this _spacetime_ is expanding.
    - Let’s assume our expanding _spacetime_ universe is flat.
    *Questions*
    1. Regardless of whether we can get there, what’s one meter _inside_ the “Edge?” The same spacetime as described by Einstein?
    2. What is our _spacetime_ expanding into. I.e., what’s one-meter _outside_ the “Edge?” More spacetime? Empty space consisting of no matter, energy, or particles of any kind?
    3. How can it be coherent to say time _began_ or there is an "Edge" if our spacetime is simply expanding into more spacetime? I.e., if you could get there, how could you exist if there is no time?
    4. Basically, does _time_ exist outside our universe’s spacetime “Edge?” I.e., outside the “Edge” as illustrated in the spacetime matter/energy bubble in your video?

      My spacetime watch says it is half past particle horizon if ya know what im saying ;D
      *I dont know what im saying*

      +yinYangMountain I believe you would be delving into the idea of dimensions. When you say spacetime, and say it is flat, this would be in the fourth dimension, not the third. So the expansion of spacetime into the fourth dimension is something a little more involved than thinking of the universe as a sphere in 3D. For example spheres in 4D can be stacked side by side just like circles in 3D (imagine plates stacked on top of each other).
      So to ask what is outside the universe, well first you would have to know fundamentally what dimension the universe lives in.

      MadJDMTurboBoost I'm sorry MadJDMTurboBoost, but you seem to be confusing the issue with too many irrelevant ideas. My question is classic. And I'm wondering why, with all your knowledge, you don't recognize it.
      Anyway, 2D, 3D, 500D, fundamental dimensions etc. are irrelevant.
      The classic thought experiment in physics/cosmology at university: What would happen if (assuming it's possible for this thought experiment), while standing a few centimeters from the expanding spacetime edge (as it's not correct to discuss the _fabric_ of space-time as separate components while simultaneously asserting time began at the Big Bang. Ref. Einstein) you attempted to reach past the edge? I.e., where would your hand go? [Ref. What is the universe expanding into? Ref. Is there a _there_ there? Is there time/existence outside the universe? What is _nothing?_ I.e., the absence of all-things, including time, space, logic, potential, quantum events?]
      Please attempt to give a concrete answer to my initial question. If you don't know, simply say you don't know.

      yinYangMountain I didn't answer your question. I didn't even try to. All I did was throw out some ideas in case it could spark an answer or even create more fundamental questions. I wasn't trying to answer such a philosophical question in one comment on UA-cam without any research lol.
      Was just hoping to add some more to your comment. But no, I don't know what the universe is expanding into, or what the singularity came from, or if there are other universes besides this one, or if this one even exists. There are no answers, only logical deductions and reasonings. No one can say for sure dude.

      What Happens At The Edge Of The Universe? When speaking of the edge of the universe, it usually refers to the edge of the visible universe. If you could instantly travel there, you would then be at the centre of the visible universe from your new perspective. The milky way galaxy would then be at the edge of the visible universe, but would appear in it's early stages of development, since the light from billions of years ago would only be reaching that point now. So, no matter where in the visible universe or even beyond that you travel to, you would always be at a new centre of the visible universe. You could never go to an edge where there is nothing in one direction and everything in the other.

    Question: if the universe is round, then wouldn't an object moving out from one side of the universe ultimately move in back from the other side and be visible again? Of course that will happen after a gazillion number of years.

    If our universe is expanding .. then what is decreasing???
    What is the thing that it is occupying to increase it's size?

      Unfortunately we did not evolve as a species to grasp these concepts intuitively. We are limited since the observer is de facto inside the observed phenomenon. Same applies for quantum mechanics. We need to rely on flawed analogies (i.e. universe getting bigger in size) to get a good grasp, or more successfully on mathematical constructs to reflect reality the best we can. The concept of ''outside the universe'' is as irrelevant as dividing a number by zero. Therefore the absolute size of the universe is also irrelevant since it cannot be compared to anything outside. Expansion is something happening in itself. Another way to think of expansion is to see it as matter and energy getting diluted in space over time in a fixed frame of reference. The frame of reference that is often used is that 96 billion light years diameter sphere outside of which no causal interaction may happen. If my understanding is correct, ''Dilution'' of the universe could also have been used as a way to picture this phenomenon.
