If they had a social gospel in the days of the prodigal son, somebody would have given him a bed and a sandwich and he never would have gone home.

We don't even know for sure if the edge is at 15b LY away. That is just how far we think it is.
It would be a blessing if they missed the cairns and got lost on the way back. Or if
the Thing on the ice got them tonight.

OK...assume the universe is only X years old but 15 billion light-years across. It was born fully grown, just like the Buddha, OK?

Another smart aleck! OK...assume the universe is (15b - X) or (15b + Y) LY across...or any size you like, just pick a number you're comfy with, OK?

How about answering the question?

The prevailing belief at this time, is that the universe has no edge.
This link describes it in simple terms.

But of course, nobody really knows. So theoretically, one could fall off the edge of the universe, the same as one could fall off the edge of the flat earth. :mrgreen:

Well, thanks for that answer which is no answer at all. It makes about as much sense as an ashtray on a motorcycle!

Hasn't what's-his-name - that guy with the electronic voice in the wheelchair - come up with a better answer?

If you believe the latest myth, an observer would bang his head against the cosmic wall or have his head burst because there is nothing there. The same thing would happen if they trravelled towards the centre, because there is nothing there, not even void. LOL!.

On a realistic note, the observer sitting on the outer realms of the created universe would see fully formed galaxies, not expanding anywhere. :ewink:

I reckon, In the other direction an observer would likely see void, that being empty space.

Mazzy,

It's generally accepted that when the universe was created, matter, time, and space were created. So, space can't be outside the universe, can it?
