I was having a good conversation with dbnfan(his name? I have bad memory with names). All I ask is to think outside the box, enlighten yourself with new ideas of infinite possibilities! Ok, enough of the creepy chant and now straight to the point.

1. What is at the end of the universe? Can it be infinite? If it is limited, what is out there? Is it the beginning of a another dimension? The start to a link of infinite amount of dimensions, of beginnings and ends or....is it the beginning of our galaxy? Making a circle, making it infinite.

2. What happens when you mess with time? What happens when you change the hand God dealt you? When you change your destiny? Does it totally rewrite history we know? Or does it not effect us at all but creating another route which that time period must flow? Or is the past written in stone, never to be changed again, no matter how many times you try? Having fate foil your attempt at rewritting history over and over again. But what if you change history but change yourself, or even get rid of youself, your parents, your grandparents? What made you exist in the first place? What made your family exist? Was it simply because it was ment to be?

If you have any ideas or anwsers please post, this very well be one of most unique and most intelligent flood posts for a while...

Until we have time travel question 2 can only be theorized. And question 1, well we'll just have to wait and see.

What if instead of things traveling at different speeds, it was just the time around it that changed, but we only perceive it as a difference in speed?

Well, if the universe is infinite, then it has no end.

But, assuming the universe has shape and a limited amount of space, the part outside of our universe would be a multiverse, an even bigger chamber that contains multiple universes...basically, this chain system would go off into infinity.

As for question 2: Time travel has so many paradoxes that it isn't practical at all. Doing something different in the past could alter the future so much that you'd be different by the time you went back in time and I'm about to go cross-eyed. So far, we know that you couldn't realistically go forward in time after you've gone back in time, because that whole entire part of your history will be gone and you'd basically not exist.

...Or something of the sort.

What if the world bends its will to you, revolves around you. When you move, you don't. Everything else does though, making it appear you are moving. Alright, that one was stupid but if Einstein was right about the speed of light E=MC2 (too lazy to put the square on) speed of light (186,000 miles/sec) but if you went faster then light then you should go back in time. but when you think about it, what does light have to do with time? Light is what we see when it bounces of an object or given off from an object, how can it represent time?

If you put a cat in a closet, does that cat vanish untill you open the door again? Is reality real? Is it when we sleep when we are awake or is it even that not real? Then what is reality?

If drop a book, what will happen? You'll never 99% know, it could just float there but why hasn't that happened yet? Is it such a small odd that it could take millions of years of book dropping to get it?

edit: Whoops, I put feet per sec for the speed of light thing instead of miles, Albert would have turned in his grave!
