Subject: Does the Universe have a Boundary ?
Since nothing can exist outside of the Universe, how then can the Universe have a boundary in any conventional sense?
Surely, if time before time is considered potentially unfathomable; in similar vein to speak of a boundary to the Universe, seems illogical.
Then again, if we accept the premise, then we strike the first of quandaries; for if the Universe is limited, ( re the extent of expansion since the 'Big Bang') then that implies an outer edge along which the Universe is expanding into nothingness.
No matter how I dissect this matter, it only seems to raise more problems than answers.
So, I put it into the hands of other posters.
Does the Universe have a boundary ?
Can anyone answer this definitively ?
