It has recently been concluded that the amount of matter in the universe would dictate that it will continue expanding forever.
But into what? If the universe is expanding, then it has to be expanding *into* something.
This suggests to me that, just a stars are organised into dense and loose clusters...and just as galaxies are organised into dense and loose clusters...isn't it possible that our Universe is only one of x number of universes (sic?) in the (for lack of a better word) Mega-verse?
If so, what is the ether that our universe is in? Are we in a dense or loose uni-cluster? (another mike-ism
)
Since there is a definite limit to the amount of the universe that can be seen (due to the speed of light,) I dont know if we will ever know...It is almost like someone or something has placed a curtain at the edge of our visible universe and said...sorry...this isnt for you to know....
weird.
