Snake Plissken
40s "men" still cry about being bullied here
Up until a few years ago, I never cared for astronomy and astrophysics and out of no where I decided to pick up a 4.5 telescope and began researching a good amount on anything I could get my hands on (and try understand) about the universe. So decided it would be a good idea to kinda of make a "Space" thread for any like minded members.
I think one of the biggest questions anyone has though to themselves about the universe as a whole is what is beyond it? There is many theories on it, that the universe is a giant sphere that pulled into a ball by the gravity of everything in it and if you flew a ship in a constant direction into space you would end up where you started.
Another theory I thought was interesting if IIRC that the universe's expansion is slowing down which could possible mean that there is outer resistance beyond the universe... but the universe has gone through fast and slow expansion periods after the Big Bang.
But this will be one of probably a billion things that humans will never be able to answer, unless we somehow manage to make a vehicle that travels 1,000's of times faster than light.
I'm a novice with Astronomy and Astrophysics probably to some guys on here, but I figured I would start a discussion
