    Put things in the proper perspective. And makes me believe that somewhere in an alternative universe, the Baltimore Orioles are winners of 21 consecutive WS championships.

    Unfortunately, after championship #3, Higgs bosun became a little too excited, which lead to the "bigger-bang" and the collapse of matter.

    By logical necessity, there is literally 'nothing' beyond the observable universe. It is impossible to apply falsifiable predictions to something that is inherently unobservable. On the other hand, the 'edge' of our observable universe is receeding faster than the speed of light: which means you can't get there from here.

    In my layman's POV way... I think many more dimensions of the same universe. Infinite dimensions.












    THREE dimensions! Humans! pfffft!

    The only way something could exist beyond the expansion horizon is if one accepts that the standard definition of time (a ticking clock) is accurate. Science now knows it is not. We experience time linearly because we have life and life proceeds from one second to the next, whereas time is a dimension similar to height or width. According to the laws of physics, it is impossible for anything to be there. Of course, it could be that if something is there it does not comply with the laws of physics. The only thing for certain, is that we will never know because distance expansion does not conform to relativity.

    Sorry for babbling, I'd make a horrible teacher.
