Isn't the universe proven to be expanding from the point of the big bang? Or am I behind the times on astrowhatnotology? I'd say that there's nothing beyond the universe as it's not possible to know. If the universe is expanding, there must be a point where the very first matter expelled from the bang still speeds away from the centre, so that would be the edge of the universe. But since nothing can travel faster than light (allegedly - so far, science fans!) then nothing is beyond it. So far the edge of the universe isn't known to have hit anything coming the other way, so beyond it is nothing. You can't get there, so nothing can be there.
Alternatively, the universe is inside a mathematical structure, like a multidimensional sphere so that it wraps round on itself.
Or maybe it's inside one of those silver holograms on my MasterCard.
In tuesdays episode of Star Trek the universe was inside Beverly Crusher's head, but I don't think that's right. Speaking of which, did anyone really, genuinely laugh the first time they watched the Next Generation and heard of a doctor called "Crusher"? I know I didn't.

Haha, that thought of yours about the dog sounds like a cross between Final Fantasy X and my favorite Cowboy Bebop episode.

Reality is only a product of ones perception. Therefore, when the perception is altered, you're in another reality.
The universe is an average of a bunch of peoples perceptions. How fun is that?

Although it would be neat to know, does it really matter?
Don't we have enough things to figure out about where we are right here?

The size of the universe is beyond numerical and geophysical comprehension.
There is no way to figure it out.....no where to start.

it's not unhealthy to gather an appreciation of the mysteries. i reckon if some of leaders woke up and decided life was beautiful, mysterious, even magical, they might alter some of their decisions to be more harmonious with the world. now these people aren't any more or less human than us so i'm guessing that the power is what distorts their ability to revere all life as beautiful and sacred (pardon my blasphemous use of the b and the s word).
