If we encounter something outside of “the Universe”, then that logically becomes part of the expanded definition of the Universe itself, by definition. The Universe is the complete description of everything.

It seems to me that we should agree on the definition of the universe as the totality of everything that exists. We should come up with other terms for things that are subsets of that… such as the observable universe or many worlds other than what we experience or other dimensions … And as long as I’m being presumptuous 😊 - we should admit that the universe is likely infinite and that is more than likely impossible to comprehend. But we should still try😊.

If the Sun were the size of a quarter, the next closest star would be 10 miles away. Don't worry, there is plenty of room!

Everything too big we have been calling it “infinite”. The ancient sailors from Greece, Scandinavia, and the Polynesia believed the sea was “never ending”. Some Native American tribes believed that the land was infinite. We humans have a bias to believe that big things that are beyond our perception must be infinite.

I finally figured out what’s “outside our universe”, after thinking about it for 28 years. And it gave me forever peace.

Consider the taught experiment: Imagine our universe as just one 3D slice of an immense 4D world (analogy of a sheet 2d slice of a 3d cube but at the next level). The universe didn't merely expand from a point, but dimensionally-it evolved from a point (0D), into a line (1D), spread into a plane (2D), and unfolded into the three-dimensional space we experience. But here’s the twist: it likely continued into a fourth dimension, beyond our observation. This explains why we can't see where the universe is expanding from-it's occurring in a dimension we don't perceive. What's more, the probability that we live in the original 3D slice formed at the start of this expansion is infinitesimally small. We are likely just one of countless 3D slices in a 4D cosmos, each experiencing its own version of reality! And the unfolding did not stop at 4D. In our vast universe, imagine that what we experience as three-dimensional space is just one of many 3D 'slices' within a larger 4D cosmos. Particularly at the quantum level, these slices don't exist in isolation; they intersect. At every tiny point where these 3D worlds meet, quantum phenomena occur. This intersection explains the statistical nature of quantum mechanics, as each slice may experience different quantum events, contributing to the overall probabilities we observe. It's like multiple realities overlapping at points so small, they're governed by the laws of quantum physics. This model provides a unique perspective on how quantum mechanics might operate within a higher-dimensional space, suggesting that what we observe as randomness and superposition might actually be the result of simultaneous, intersecting realities at the quantum scale.

Why should there be a starting point in time to the universe? That things should start at some point in time is only a human expectation. Also, why should the universe be finite in size? It is important either not to make tacit assumptions in asking such questions or to make clear that these assumptions are being made while asking these questions. If these assumptions do not hold good for the universe, the questions just melt away.

Non existence. The “space” outside the universe simply does not exist. It took me a long time as well to understand that. Just like it did for me to understand how time didn’t exist before the Big Bang. I would think, well there was still “5 seconds til the Big Bang, or 1 year until the bang bang,” even if there was nothing to quantify time it still somehow existed. It did not. Time can’t exist in a place of nonexistence. The universe is all that exists and it is pointless imagining what’s outside of it.

The answer is 42

My perspective is that there has to be an intelligence outside the universe to even coming up with idea of the universe. Let’s look at the simplest fundamental principles of the universe. Energy and matter can’t be created nor destroyed; they're both constant. Which begs the question: where do they come from? If there’s nothing outside the universe, then where was energy and matter created within the universe? It makes more sense logically that both of them have transformed into our universe. For example, my analogy is that imagine in slow motion a bullet penetrates through a door, transforming matter and momentum to the other side. So, if you observe within the universe and track where the bullet came from, you would always come to a conclusion that the bullet is untraceable because it disappears right at the door hole.

Entirely possible there are multiple universes. Think about an ocean and rain drops falling on the ocean. Each drop of rain is a universe , forever expanding in a ripple wave effect. You were randomly born into this rain drop for whatever reason. Nobody asked you for permission to be here. You just appeared and will disappear in the future .

What contains the universe?

If the universe had a beginning, and they do say that. At least a theory or hypothesis. Then can it have no outside? Can it be infinite? All these questions are baffling and we won't understand without further information, which we may never get, but I hope we do, with further advanced tech.

Perhaps there is truly no outside of us as beings in relation to a fuller veiwpoint of existence. That we are entangled in this grand infinite tapestry. Our preception being the limiting factor in easily understanding such a concept? That we are not beings in a universe but we are the universe.

i always have 3 analogies for this: if you throw the dice, and its lets say a 4, and you ask why, most people would have no issue with saying its just a coincidence… so they can easily acknowledge that chance or randomness is an integral feature of our universe… but when you then make the leap to coincidence also being the causal origin of the universe, most people would not want to accept that answer, simply cause it wouldnt sound “profound” enough for them, hence sort of humanizing the question, which doesnt even make any sense at all, because if you look at the universe as a whole, its basically 100% void of any humans, so why exactly should our feelings tell us anything about the probability of a cause for existence? ridiculous my 2nd analogy is, that maybe the question doesnt even make sense, just like it wouldnt make sense in mathematics to ask what is a any number divided by zero… and we can just never realize that, because we cant look at the universe from the outside, like we can at a mathematical equation the 3rd one doesnt come from me personally, but instead from einstein, who said that asking what happened before the big bang would be like asking what is north of the north pole so even if all of these analogies may not be completely satisfying, i am pretty sure thats about as close as we will ever get to an actual answer

the problem of being random is not being not profound enough, the problem is that it actually doesn't make any sense, and here is why 1. So first, it's not even clear where there is something random out there. Out universe obeys certain rules, and while some seem to have some randomness to them (quantum mechanics), they are still not really random. Outcomes of events like throwing dice can EASILY be predicted if you know all the initial conditions and know the rules. At least on a macroscopic level nothing appears to be random, one event is caused by another, so why the universe should suddenly be random itself? 2. If it is random, what does it even mean? It is an obvious fact that you just cannot pick randomly a number between 0 and infinity with a uniform distribution, so if the possibilities are endless how is one of them (my current conscious experience) gets picked? If the possibilities are not endless, then reality has to be somehow finite, which I find problematic: isn't it a bit too restrictive for the pool of existence to be finite? But even if say it is finite, there is still a problem, because if one trusts their memory and of other people, our conscious experience is in fact not random, because each second the follow-up experience is very tightly causally linked to the current one. And if one goes to the point of being born, it's still being causally connected to a sequence of previous events, none of which are random. 3. Let's say there is indeed a finite pool of existence, of size N. Which means when you get born, you will necessarily live one of those N lives. What would that number be? Is it number of humans of earth that ever lived? Number of animals? Number of living beings in the universe? Reality? Are all probabilities equal, if not, why? As we have now a finite set of options, we can reasonably discuss the probabilities within. And very difficult questions arise, because a finite pool of existence implies a probability distribution of being born k-th living being out of N with a probability p(k). So, what exactly is a living being even, what gets in this pool of existence? Is there a clear boundary, like we would count a fly, but nor a virus? What is the probability p(k)? Is it more likely to be born a fly? Why? We can't judge this probabilities based on Earth's life, because it's only one instance of life. So unless we do exactly this, we will need a brand new universal law to describe probability p(k), which would be really hard to find or even verify. And if one wants to get to something, we would have to limit ourselves to Earth and say it is all life there is in entire REALITY. And then, the number N is the total number of living beings on Earth based on some life criteria, and the probability of being me is 1/N, while probability of being a human is M/N, where M is the number of alive humans on earth right now. But also M, and N both change with time, so does it also mean the probability of being me changes? Is it defined then when I am being born, but what exactly is the moment of being born? And if one says that the probability at that time defines the probability through my whole life, it can't be, because then the probability of being myself right now is not 1/N. So then we still need some universal law to keep fixing the probabilities to make sense. And the worst about all it, is the number N, which is now a certain constant of nature, a number more significant than all other constants of the universe. The existence of this number N implies that it is a fundamental property of reality itself. In fact, it would have to be something like N(t) to make any sense, because the number of living beings changes, but that would mean to define a unified time which doesn't make time within the general relativity, or "outside" the universe. Then we will have to say the following: universe is all there is, N(t) is the fundamental property of it, there is a unified time in the universe despite theory of relativity... We can keep asking more questions, and it would make less and less sense for the universe to be random. If one wants to come up with something like this, we would have to come up with some many things and accept them, that it is just too complicated to be true, and we might just eventually come to a contradiction, because all that description does is raising question after question and giving no answers to anything. So, what is an alternative? That it is not random. At least, not in a mathematical sense for sure. We just don't see a more general picture right now to see why what is not random appears in a way so random

@Billy-bc8pk

Except that's completely incorrect -- dice throw's aren't random, they are predicated on gravity, and gravity is very much fixed within specific parameters, so based on the throw, where it lands, and how high it falls, you actually can make predicative measures about it landing on four. In fact, there are people who run such experiments, and physics can in fact predict the number very single time when utilised within predictive frameworks, so no, your analogy doesn't really "humanise" the universe as being random. Also, most people who have any sort of experience with design mechanisms or engineering will instantly throw out the "randomness" bit simply because you cannot design any logical structure or software using random bits of code or material. EVerything with any sort of stable congruence needs to be expertly designed to adhere to the laws of physics and/or the principles of sound engineering. In fact, you cannot remake or simulate any part of our current known existence in a computer simulation using "random" code. Any aspect you want to intricately remake and/or simulate down to a detail, must be done with the most expert knowledge and library codebase, which is quite ironic, because if the universe was as random as you say, we should be able to recreate it using random bits and bobs in a simulated environment. Yet, we cannot. Recreation in any format requires near infinitesimal precision. So what does that tell you?

This. We cannot grasp the "nature" of existence as a whole. I feel like there is infinite contraction and expansion and reorganisation/reshaping of a finite amount of matter and energy and we simply cannot grasp that It has no beginning and end. But then comes the question of our consciousness, what is it and can it disappear or has to emerge always again and again?

Outside the universe is the universe! What a question! Just because our so called objective standpoint seems to be outside of anything. Its a mere fiction, a human construct.

What a way to avoid the question. Mainstream science simply doesn't stray from mainstream thought. There are multiple thought exercises and also simple questions that many ask and ponder on. If the universe had a beginning (yes, if. Because it's not a completely accepted theory) then what was there before? Another/the same universe which contracted in itself? Nothing at all until the big bang? If nothing at all, then how can that be. What science is there to explain that. If none or very little, then it's fair to come up with new suppositions but it all needs further evidence and no one theory is completely true, it's just waiting for further evidence to back it up. If it's an infinite contracting and expanding universe, how did it begin? It can't not have a beginning. To me, all these questions pose a more profound and even somewhat, spiritual but still logical, debate. The truth of the universe may very well be very confusing and even unfathomable for us. Or it could be a relatively simple concept, containing some clear rules and boundaries.

The universe is very zen.

Space was not created along with matter in the Big bang. Space appears to be infinitely expanding and eternal. Therefore there would be an infinite number of other locations within the vastness of space, where events similar to The Big bang have occurred. Essentially other universes that we can never interact with due to the expansion of space. At least that's my understanding.

According to mystics like Simone Weil the universe is a dream in the mind of God who also infinitely transcends his creation. What’s outside the universe? Here’s what she said about that: “When a soul has attained a love filling the whole universe indiscriminately, this love becomes the bird with golden wings that pierces an opening in the egg of the world. After that, such a soul loves the universe, not from within but from without; from the dwelling place of the Wisdom of God, our first-born brother. Such a love does not love beings and things in God, but from the abode of God. Being close to God it views all beings and things from there, and its gaze is merged in the gaze of God.” Simone Weil. French mystic. 1909-1943

It is either infinite, or there is an outside to somewhere else... but then that something else is either infinite or has an outside to something else,.... ♾️♾️♾️

If the Big Bang theory is correct and the universe is continually expanding then by definition there is an outer edge that continues to fill space of some kind and expand into that space. Without space to expand into, all of the energy and mass would eventually collide with whatever the barrier is. Saying there is “no outside the universe” seems to disprove many long held physics theories.

And experimental verification has to be converted in an understandable rational description or it can not be considered to be true.

What humility are they talking about?

I suggest that the part that we see expanding is just a small portion of the universe so that expansion is expanding into the universe. If we don’t agree that the universe is everything then we should change its name.

whether it's all inside or there is an outside, one thing is undeniably true: infinity exists

I agree, but many don't.

If we found that universe was created and has a start than we should say there is a creator who created it. This is the most comfortable and logical answer for me. Because he is the First part in the chain he created the universe and he should not be a creation because it will be an infinite and un logical chain while all the universe is built on perfect rules.

It's common sense that's why it's labeled the UNIVERSE=one verse emphasis "UNI" also the universe is calculated to be infinite/infinity 😏😉

I’m curious to why we don’t see alien life on planets maybe that’s because we only see the past

Can someone explain to me how space is expanding if space is nothing? Lol if it’s just light then it’s space in darkness so the universe is already infinite

When I was younger I felt like I was a man trapped in a woman's body, but that all changed the day I was born.

This is such rediculous answer to that question. The answer is, WE DONT KNOW. Period.

Or what if there isn't anything outside the universe because we aren't in the universe and it's a matter of perception 🤔

we are still so primitive, i have no doubt we will get to the bottom of it all within a few thousand years, shame we wont be here for it.

Yeah, the quantum realm

The guy who believes in multiverses/many worlds interpretation says there’s no such thing as “outside our universe”.

Before I even watch the video I have to answer the question... And it is speculation period paragraph

Sean Carroll is a cereal box quote

Sean sounds like Howard Stern 😅

Does this mean that this guy doesn't know anything about his job, if nobody has discovered the answers for him job?

Outside of the universe is God, what’s god in ?

Breath of fresh air listening to this podcast with a real physicist instead of the hype Terrance Howard JRE. Terrence is cool, but it takes years of vector calculus, theoretical physics, and rigorous math proofs. As a mechanical engineer, Terrence is kind of disrespectful to people who devote their lives to the field. Smh he’s cool tho he means well.

If there was an outside and it would have to be infinite

Outside of our universe is many more universes, multiverse.

Man can ever know. God is everything.

What if what we think is the universe is in fact the multiverse and that galaxies are actually other universes, and that we can see/detect/interact with them because we have similar string structures?? 👀👀

I find it most pretentious from the the supposed "learned" folk that the best answer they can give -- and one they seemingly refuse to address upfront in fear of seeming as if all the years they expended becoming learned -- is to simply say, "We don't know". Because you're correct, until we can journey to the edge of the universe, we simply do not know and we will never know until the day comes where light-speed travel (or space-bending tunnels) become(s) the norm.

A refueling station is what outside the universe

Elder scrolls 6 is outside the universe

The Bible gives the best description, God always existed, he exists outside of the physical universe, the universe had a beginning, the Earth was once all water covered in a thick cloud the Earth is suspended on what the writer didn't understand at the time was gravity although he said nothing, There is no better explanation at this point, everything is getting closer and closer to the obvious intelligent designer.

If there were multiple universes, then there would need to be a field or medium that buffers them or holds them apart enough to be considered distinct. Otherwise the multiverse would eventually merge and coalesce. Maybe there were multiple in the beginning but now just one and no way to get to the field that surrounds it, and what's beyond that will remain unanswered.

What an idiotic answer by Carroll,to something he said don't know
