nything beyond the known universe boundaries?

[Viper]

From all of the universies we have recorded or charted is there anything beyond that. Is there just more universes or just matter.

[Eh]

Probably more universe is beyond our visible universe. That is, matter, galaxies, stars, etc.

Indeed. Now, it is possible that this
goes on to infinity or that it "curves in"
on itself and you return to your
original location. It is also
possible there is a "limmit" but since
the exapnsion is faster than c - you
can never reach it.

Live long and prosper.

one possable explanation for the accelleraration of expanshion, is stuff outside our big bang bubble pulling our stuff outward ever faster
this requires other big bangs outside of ours
but many think a big bang is a local event
so why not many instead of only one.

btw this requres NO NEW FORCES to account for the accellaration or new laws
to be formed

and makes mans place smaller in the general scheme once again
