Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the concept of what exists beyond the universe if one assumes there is no multiverse and that the universe is not infinite. Participants explore the implications of these assumptions on the nature of the universe and its boundaries.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification, Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant questions what exists outside the universe under the assumption that there is no multiverse and the universe is finite.
  • Another participant asserts that if the universe is defined as all there is, then there would be no "outside" to consider.
  • A third participant provides a link to additional resources discussing the multiverse hypotheses, suggesting it contains arguments for and against the concept.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express differing views on the existence of an "outside" to the universe, with one asserting there is none, while another raises the question of what lies beyond, indicating a lack of consensus.

Contextual Notes

The discussion does not resolve the implications of a finite universe or the nature of its boundaries, leaving these concepts open to interpretation and further exploration.

I have been trying to think if there is no multiverse and the universe is not infinite than what is on the outside?

There would be no outside. The universe, by definition, would be all there is.
 
oh thank you
