Where does the universe end in it's boundary, I mean it HAS to end somewhere, don't you think? If not, what's on the other side? [glow=red,2,300]Doesn't this boggle your mind?![/glow]

the universe does not end in the way u think. it is round and closes like a dome. around it is an opposite to what the universe is. i guess

I think its infinite. Just keeps going, on and on. There is probably some gravitational force that we don't know about that keeps us inside a certain part. Like planets, then solar system, then galaxy, then universe, and then a group of universes, then a group of those. You see what I mean?

yeah its pretty infinate.. i heard that everything in it though is moving farther away from eachother.. so soon life wont exist in this form much longer... cuz anything that realys on heat and the sun wont beable to servive

Well, if the universe is indeed expanding (big bang theory) then there really is not a theoretical end to it. Although, if it starts to contract (as predicted by someone that I cant remember), then all matter will be packed inside an infinitesimal speck. Again. Etc, etc, etc every 5 kajillion googol years. xD
And don't even start me on time =P
Heh, space needs 3 dimensions, time only needs one xD And that is why diamond version is better than pearl >_<
But seriously, let's not try to figure out questions that NOBODY in the universe (ironic) has the definite answers to.

What do you meant pretty infinate xD? And where did you hear this? the discovery channel .. or the history.. cant remember lmao Probably Discovery Channel ^^ One of my favorite channels xD I think that's where I heard that the universe would eventually start contracting, too.

We know the universe moves, as, if it did not, the starsa light would make the sky white. As it is black....well you get the point.

The theory that the universe will contract upon itself(Big Crunch Theory)some time in the far away future has been more or less dismissed, most scientists agree that it will expand as long as there is dark matter, which happens to be matter that we have absolutely no information on aside from a name to identify it, and that it is indeed there. But I suppose it beats claiming whatever god(s) you worship is doing everything.
Also according to quantum mechanics, the universe is a bit like a body of water. If you drop a rock into water, it will naturally ripple out. So in the case of our solar system, the sun is in it, and the preceding ripples are the grooves that the planets are in, what we call gravity, that keeps us in orbit. So in that sense, the ripples caused by the Big Bang will eventually deplete, and the universe will stagnate, but there's no viable theories on what will happen after that. Humanity will have been long since extinct by then though.
Another interesting point is we know there are at least four dimensions in our universe. The problem is, being three-dimensional beings, we have no way of interacting with it. But four-dimensional things can interact with us, just like we can interact with two dimensional objects like a piece of paper. Point being that any claims of a "God" could just be intervention of a hypothetical four-dimensional creature into our three-dimensional world.

Both paper and lead (or marker, crayon) are three-dimensional. Its what you see that's 2 dimensional.
