A vacuum has to exist within space. There is no space beyond the universe.

I don't need to explain how spacetime can be folded to make a point that it happens. It just DOES happen, and we've seen it happen, and it's extremely reliable and in concord with the theoretical equations behind it.

I don't get it, how do you define "the end of the universe" and what could be there aside from empty space?

No, there wouldn't be "empty space" because space is a property of the universe, and thus there would be no space outside of the universe. "The end of the universe" would just be an arbitrary point where spacetime begins to fold over on itself.

Go get yourself some marijuana and read this thread again, it'll all make sense after that.

The end of the universe is kinda like in Asteroids - when you go off one side of the screen you appear on the opposite side.

What good does that knowledge do us? Absolutely none! But it's fun to think that a waveform in 4 dimensional space is equivalent to a straight line in 4 dimensional space. No? Well thanks to Physics we learned the world is round, and now we know the universe is actually flat!

Like in Asteroids.

Physicists are nuts, I tell ya.


edit: sorry, that should have read "a waveform in 4 dimensional space is equivalent to a straight line in 3 dimensional space"

What Ziggy described is one theory, but not the only one. I think if you represented the universe as a giant matrix, the Pac-Man/Asteroids system of going off the edge would make the most sense. That doesn't mean it's right, and it's one of those things that'll take a long time to figure out.

First we'll just have to earn enough points to get another man, and then send someone over the edge. If they appear behind us, we know it's true. If they die, they can just start over.
