If the universe is finite, what happens if I attempt to move past the outer edge of the universe? Do I enter another universe, or does the universe expand to my new location.

Obviously, the universe is infinite.

You would transform into pure energy and disperse across the universe and when your energy finally made it back to the center it would trigger the collapse phase of the universe.

Obviously.......

there basicly should be no space at all. my guess is, you can't move past the edge.
scientists also observed, that the expantion rate is speeding up.

what type of knowledge do you propose that would allow you to claim anything for certain?


This. We can not know anything since our concept of anything is extremely subjective.

how is it obvious? The universe couldn't have a beginning or end because that's only a concept projected by our way of thinking. I'm sure the universe and it's laws don't have to comply to our reason.

since our way of thinking is the only way of knowing, we need not be interested in whats beyond it. Its enough if it makes sense to us.
