Thanks for the clarification, I guess that idea is DOA.
Is there any reason to believe that F=ma doesn't work or works differently towards the 'edge' of the Universe or do we assume that since it works here it must work everywhere?
I would be careful in saying that it is impossible to achieve faster than light travel, it may be highly improbable but not impossible. These are theories for a reason. If scientists have learned anything in our short time in this universe it is that "universal truth is not measured in mass...
Thanks for the link, thought it sounded to good to be true.
I find it impossible to comprehend a universe that is infinite, because no matter how you try to explain it, it HAS to end somewhere. Even if you use the balloon analogy that's like saying walking on a straight path on Earth will...
I was also wondering what people thought about poincare dodecahedral space. I haven't found any papers refuting this theory about the shape of space. Especially with the recent WMAP data.
I know that this is a physics forum but just because physics can't explain the proposed question in totality doesn't mean you can't have some insight into a possible solution.
I doubt that the questioner wanted an exact answer. You should let your imagination explore these ideas sometime...
