yea so it randomly came to what if you build something so fast you drove it out of space because as far as I know space isn`t infinite so if you got out of the universe what would it be like would you just fall for ever or be just floating in whiteness.

Anyone understand what Im saying

I think it may just be a popular ploy in sci-fi shows/movies to sho a ship is going very fast but irl I'm not sure. I do know that if you were going the speed of light and looked behinf you you wouldn't see anything becasue they light wouldn't reach your eyes.


Hey yeah, I never though of that but that's really cool.

Well, I don't think you can go has fast as light, but there are other theories that enable you to travel from one point in space to another.

It's called a wormhole...an there is the other one that says you could bend space around you.

Well, it said there that due to the immense speed (eight-tenths the speed of light) visual distortions would be visible. Though it is pretty much hypothetical, since no one such craft existed that can reach that speed.

Yea I think the wormholes are kind of a sci fi thing though

Hmm...This is a very debatable topic as there is very little known about space. Almost anything could concievably happen, it is almost like the What If game. Anyway, I actually got a lot of info from Spore lol. But that's a different story.

Wormholes could definitely be real that is if string theory is.

Well, I'm not sure if you could go out of the Universe. BUT, there are theories of things called Multiverses.


And Universe can make they one kid universe. (NOT sarcasm)

universe is infinite because the big bang was an explosion that made all the planets go at a speed that nothing can match, so it's impossible to get out since the universe is always expanding. Though it's interesting to ask yourself what was here before the big bang...

Un-true the universe could either expand forever, stop expanding, or crunch back together.

kind of, but we only know for sure that there was an explosion we call the big bang, but other than that... I mean, how did that explosion start? There must have been gas so there could be an explosion, but there is no gas in space, so what happened?

sorry for the double post, but that's what I said, the universe is expanding because of explosion

Well the Big Bang was a explosion of the old universe....all crunched back together or there was no Big Bang and it was more the theory of rebound, which consist that the Universe expanses, and then de-expanse, and then rexpanses, and so on.
