What do you think is beyond our universe?

Question

What do you think is beyond our universe?
Ive always thought about this. I know that nobody knows whats out there but lets take some educated guesses. I mean we have our universe, but there has to be something beyond that, and then something beyond that, etc. Anyways i just want to know what others think, and if you believe there is other intelligent life forms out there.

Answer

nothing. our universe is existance, it is space, it is time, it is quotisnessquot. beyond that there is nothing, not even a beyond, since you need space for beyond.brbrso its a complete nothing, but not empty space, since there is no space.brbrso in a way there isnt even nothing, because for there to be some nothingness that would be something, nothingness, but there is no nothing because nothing is there... there isnt even a there for nothing to quotbequot in.brbrso no distance beyond universe, no time beyond universe. the universe is and thats it.brbrbut then you would wonder, what if i travelled to the edge what would happen if i tried to travel beyond it?brbrbut dont forget, you are as much that thing called universe as anything else, so for you to travel quotbeyondquot the boundary youd basically just be stretching out universe and always being on the edge of it, thats in fact what the edge is constantly doing.brbras for intelligent life forms. there are sooo many stars out there and sooo many planets, im not exactly sure what are the specific conditions on earth that caused intelligence to evolve in the life here, but i find it really hard to believe that it couldnt have happened anywhere else in the whole universe. brI just dont see that there is anything quite that rare about earth. brbri just found one estimate on a website, i dont know how trustworthy it is, but it seems to think that in the estimated number of earth like planets is ,,,,,,,.brbrif thats right, then the odds of intelligent life evolving on an earth like planet, would need to be somewhat close to or smaller than in ,,,,,,,. to really say that its really unlikely that there is no other intelligent life anywhere. i dont think there is anything quite that rare about earth.brbrwikipedia estimates there to be br,,,,,,, stars so it could be a reasonable number i think.
