    Graduate What Is the Empty Space into Which the Universe Expands?

    Are you serious ? The only people who question, imagine, wonder about 'meaningless garbage' are the ones who understand the universe. People used to think that there was nothing outside our solar sistem, that our solar sistem was all there was. Exactly what you just said, "meaningless...

    Graduate What Is the Empty Space into Which the Universe Expands?

    Maybe... No one knows how dark matter is created... So maybe dark matter is the void. who knows ? For all we know, our entire universe can be inside a tiny atom of a whole other bigger universe.

    Undergrad Questions about Black Holes: Can Objects Survive? Can Light Go Through?

    Hey guys. I have a few questions about black holes. First. Is it possible for there to exist a big enough object in space that wouldn't be destroyed by a black hole ? Black Holes have gravity so strong that they destroy any object that comes near it. But, if there was a big enough object...

    Graduate Could the Big Bang Have Been A Cyclical Event?

    Interesting theory... but I'm not sure if that would even work. Black Holes have gravity so strong, that it destroys what ever goes in. So nothing actually 'builds up' in them. And there are also theories of the existence of White Holes, which essencially are the opposite of Black Holes...

    Graduate What Is the Empty Space into Which the Universe Expands?

    Maybe we are forgetting something guys... We all know the universe is composed of 90% Dark Matter. and the other 10% is everything else. Maybe the 'void', the empty space (if it exists), is Dark Matter.

    Graduate What Is the Empty Space into Which the Universe Expands?

    You have a point... but I still think that for it to be able to expand, there must be somewhere to expand to. How can something get bigger if it doesn't have enough room to get bigger ?

    Graduate What Is the Empty Space into Which the Universe Expands?

    The Universe is expanding. Expanding to where ? There must be an empty space where the universe will expand itself to, right ? Think about a balloon. Let's say the universe is everything inside the balloon. The balloon expands, because it has room to expand. If the universe is infinit, the empty...
