Is the universe infinite or finite?
The observable universe is finite in that it hasn't existed forever. It extends 46 billion light years in every direction from us. (While our universe is 13.8 billion years old, the observable universe reaches further since the universe is expanding).
Does the universe have a finite age?
According to NASA, scientists know that the universe is flat with only about a 0.4 percent margin of error (as of 2013). ... "This suggests that the universe is infinite in extent; however, since the universe has a finite age, we can only observe a finite volume of the universe," NASA says on their website.
Why does the universe live forever?
Open universe
Even without dark energy, a negatively curved universe expands forever, with gravity negligibly slowing the rate of expansion. With dark energy, the expansion not only continues but accelerates.
Why is the universe not infinitely old?
That's because we know the universe isn't infinitely old — we know the Big Bang occurred some 13.8 billion years ago. ... (In a fun twist, the universe has expanded since the Big Bang, so the objects that we see emitting light 13.8 billion years ago are now some 46 billion light-years away.)
What does infinite universe mean?
It means space never ends. It's a matrix of limitless galaxies, stars, planets, and energy. California Institute of Technology theoretical physicist Sean Carroll cautiously noted last spring that while a finite universe would be provable, scientists can never prove infinity.
How can an infinite universe expand?
Although space may have been concentrated into a single point at the Big Bang, it is equally possible that space was infinite at the Big Bang. In both scenarios the space was completely filled with matter which began to expand. There is no centre of the expansion, the universe is simply expanding at all points.
How large is 93 billion light years?
The observable universe is thus a sphere with a diameter of about 28.5 gigaparsecs (93 billion light-years or 8.8×1026 m).
Why is space dark?
Because space is a near-perfect vacuum — meaning it has exceedingly few particles — there's virtually nothing in the space between stars and planets to scatter light to our eyes. And with no light reaching the eyes, they see black.
Why is universe 13.7 billion years old?
Our universe was born about 13.7 billion years ago in a massive expansion that blew space up like a gigantic balloon. That, in a nutshell, is the Big Bang theory, which virtually all cosmologists and theoretical physicists endorse. The evidence supporting the idea is extensive and convincing.
Is the Big Rip real?
Overview. The truth of the hypothesis relies on the type of dark energy present in our universe. ... If −1 < w < 0, the expansion of the universe tends to accelerate, but the dark energy tends to dissipate over time, and the Big Rip does not happen.
Will the universe be reborn after it dies?
There's a chance that the end of the universe will be more of a rebirth. Instead of expanding forever, everything may someday start to contract again. It could collapse and then rebound, creating another big bang and a universe reborn.
Why is universe so big?
The Universe is so big because it is constantly expanding, and it does so at a speed that even exceeds the speed of light. Space itself is actually growing, and this is going on for around 14 billion years or so.
Is the universe shaped like a dodecahedron?
New findings in 2003 reveal that the shape of the Universe is a Dodecahedron based on Phi. ... Like visible light from distant stars and galaxies, cosmic background radiation allows scientists to peer into the past to the time when the universe was in its infancy.
Can the universe really be infinite?
If the universe is perfectly geometrically flat, then it can be infinite. If it's curved, like Earth's surface, then it has finite volume. Current observations and measurements of the curvature of the universe indicate that it is almost perfectly flat. You might think this means the universe is infinite.
Is time Travelling possible?
In Summary: Yes, time travel is indeed a real thing. But it's not quite what you've probably seen in the movies. Under certain conditions, it is possible to experience time passing at a different rate than 1 second per second.
