So our visible universe could be within another universe? Sucking everything into it? Not even light can escape... maybe that could be what powers our universe to grow. Imagine if a star died in another universe and that's how our universe was born.

Wow that is pretty amazing actually. To imagine how much SPACE there is in the universe and realize that it is almost minuscule compared to the amount of space below us... Thank you!

so, say the universe is 156 billion light years long... i'd be curious to know what is furthest away from the scales humans deal with... the size of the universe or the size of the Planck length. if that makes sense.

can anyone think of a way that one could PROVE that things can or can't exist smaller than the Planck length? imagine if you could see how gravity does work at these scales or what happens in place of gravity? would it require an electron microscope or does an electron microscope even view...

OK, so can I get some layman's terms :) Its sounding from many of you that the Planck Length mainly describes a length or measurement at which gravity no longer works the same way as it does to us? However it still may be possible that things exist at smaller measurements than this? Or is this...

So I just watched a Nova documentary on epigenetics called "Ghost in your Genes"... I had never heard of epigenetics. Apparently its things being passed down amongst people by means other than our GENES and DNA. Things like smoking being passed down from grandparents to grandchildren and...

interesting, apparently, stephen hawking says that such a limitation exists in the real universe... but if so... how do we know this? i just think it could change a lot of ideas if we found that there was no end or limitation to the size of things... Wouldn't it mean that the universe, whatever...

I've heard of Stephen Hawking talking about the Planck Length and how nothing could exist at a level smaller than that length. I'd like to know how we know this to be certain. It seems that history has always repeated itself in that when humans see as far as we possibly see we simply just...

First post. Please be gentle. I`m not a scientist, i`m actually a 3D Artist. I just have a lot of faith in science unfortunately didn`t have the attention span to pay attention enough in high school and even more tragic is that my university didn`t offer any science courses! I was hoping it...
