Evo, I am trying as best I can to logically explain my arguments. Unfortunately, where my weakness lies is my knowledge base, which as you have pointed out, is much lower than certain other people on this thread. I am not making outrageous statements, nor, I'll remind you, am I claiming that...

Warren, but surely the surface of a sphere isn't actually a space- in fact no 2D surface is a space- only the space around it. And I'm sorry about my more definitions. I am not trying to re-define anything, just trying to make myself more clear, although I'm not sure if it actually worked...

Evo, no matter how many people disagree with me, my opinions still remain the same. I am not a master of physics, so an unable to explain my views any more than I am. When people present their views to you, you generally respond with your own views, which is what I am doing. My views don't...

TalonD, the Universe does not mean every space available. The Universe can be an object (thus with boundaries) within a space. I do not know, nor claim to know excatly what form these boundaries dicatate. All of what I have said is not meant to be, nor designed to be "conceptually...

How is our Universe like the surface of a sphere. The surface of a sphere is two-dimensional; our Universe is three-dimensional. I still don't think anyone understands what I'm really getting at- this may be my fault, not explaining very well. Space is "something", okay? When I say...

Okay then, let's assume that there is nothing except space outside our Universe. At the moment, I guess this seems quite likely. But my point is, so long that there is SOMETHING, our Universe for example, there is going to be something ELSE, and that something else is SPACE. Empty space...

TalonD, there is no reason why we are unable to imagine something. Granted, when we don't know the answer to something, imagining it is very hard, but once we know how something works, we can imagine it. I do not let my imagination get in the way of what I believe. Just because I don't...

I disagree with you here. Yes, a sphere has no edge, but it has boundaries. If you're inside the ball, as we're inside our Universe, of course there's a boundary. And if there's an inside to the ball, there must be something outside of it. Everything has to be contained in something. If...

Question 1- what's beyond the Universe? If the universe if finite, there must be something outside it, right? I've heard many people say "it's just time- and no space", but how can this be? Our Universe is composed of space, so if it's finite, there must be more space outside it...
