close your eyes, imagine we are a single dot in the universe. Where and how big is the heaven?

What happens if heaven is here on earth and we are wasting our precious time wondering where we are going to go next.  The universe I think is a God like creation of infinity upon infinity exploding and imploding in a constant merry-go-round of momentous force started by an almighty, power-full, special entity,......God.  So close your eyes and dream your dreams, we are all part of God and the universe, they are both one and the same, immortally eternal....

Some physicists estimate as many as 12 dimensions. \nAbsolutely there's a spiritual dimension that we can not see as long as we dwell in the flesh.

It's like dumping over a can of pain. You watch the puddle continue to expand across the floor.\nIn space, there is no floor. There is nothing until space expands to give it a dimension. \n\nHaving a hard time imagining what nothing can be? Where were you before you were born?

the universe is one big fractal and that is most likely true, but don't think to much about it or your head might explode. Our solar system is a tiny tiny aberration on the pinhead of space. There are parralels everywhere... in nature and in fractals. Think of it as so much bigger than your senses could ever understand and you'll be fine... just don't go killing busloads of people.

do you mean where ?  If so, heaven is on another plain of existance, far removed from the troubles of this world, possibly in a parallel universe. AS for hell, I don't believe there is such a place, so It doesn't exist.

Nobody can know because the universe is never ending.  Because God put them there to look pretty :D

My Astronomy teacher at college of the redwoods believes it not to be the like a big ball though, it may be in some way like that.  He believes it is more like a blob of water in zero gravity.  It isnt a circle but it has i would say lumps in the ball type figure.  All of this but on a much larger scale.\n\nBy the way the universe is not infinite but it is expanding.  It may be huge but we believe to have found areas that just return no data.  It is about 560 billion light years away from us.  It is illogical to even believe anything physical to be infinate.

If you've ever wondered how big the universe is, you're not alone. Astronomers have long pondered this, too, and they've had a hard time figuring it out. Now an estimate has been made, and its a whopper.\n\nThe universe is at least 156 billion light-years wide. \n\nIn the new study, researchers examined primordial radiation imprinted on the cosmos. Among their conclusions is that it is less likely that there is some crazy cosmic "hall of mirrors" that would cause one object to be visible in two locations. And they've ruled out the idea that we could peer deep into space and time and see our own planet in its youth.\n\nFirst, let's see why the size is a number you've never heard of before.\n\nStretching reality\n\nThe universe is about 13.7 billion years old. Light reaching us from the earliest known galaxies has been travelling, therefore, for more than 13 billion years. So one might assume that the radius of the universe is 13.7 billion light-years and that the whole shebang is double that, or 27.4 billion light-years wide.\n\nBut the universe has been expanding ever since the beginning of time, when theorists believe it all sprang forth from an infinitely dense point in a Big Bang.\n\n"All the distance covered by the light in the early universe gets increased by the expansion of the universe," explains Neil Cornish, an astrophysicist at Montana State University. "Think of it like compound interest."\n\nNeed a visual? Imagine the universe just a million years after it was born, Cornish suggests. A batch of light travels for a year, covering one light-year. "At that time, the universe was about 1,000 times smaller than it is today," he said. "Thus, that one light-year has now stretched to become 1,000 light-years."\n\nAll the pieces add up to 78 billion-light-years. The light has not traveled that far, but "the starting point of a photon reaching us today after travelling for 13.7 billion years is now 78 billion light-years away," Cornish said. That would be the radius of the universe, and twice that -- 156 billion light-years -- is the diameter. That's based on a view going 90 percent of the way back in time, so it might be slightly larger.\n\n"It can be thought of as a spherical diameter is the usual sense," Cornish added comfortingly.\n\n(You might have heard the universe is almost surely flat, not spherical. The flatness refers to its geometry being "normal," like what is taught in school; two parallel lines can never cross.)

Universe in general is the area of everything including earth, solar systems, nebulas, black holes, galaxies etc are contained within. Everything that is observable to us(human) are so far within this universe. So maybe there are more but to human.. there is only 1.

our mind cannot imagine what it never and can never experience.\n\nU can imagine the spacetime as like a sphere. but a sphere is a 3D object. The universe is a 4D sphere. Can u imagine that? no. Imagine a dot, then imagine a line, then imagine a square, then imagine a cube, then imagine a... 4D cube. physically, u cannot imagine it. But these r consistent logical object. They can exist logically despite unobservable and unimaginable by us.\n\nWhen i say logically it exists, i mean, it exists. for example, on a sphere, if u keep travelling eastward, u could end up where u started. in a 4D spherical universe, u can travel straight forward and come back to where u started. the problem is, will the universe last long enough for u to do it even if your human life is that long.\n\nThe reason our universe is proposed to be spherical(not in the 3D sense) is because of the geometrical properties it has that resemble a 3D sphere. For example, it is observed, galaxies r accelerating away from each others in every direction. They say the universe is expanding. This in 3D is equivalent to having a 3D sphere/ballon blown up. u will see points on the ballon get further and furtehr apart at increasing relative speed as their distance increases.\n\nOf coz a 4D "sphere" "looks" nothing like a 3D sphere.(can u even look at it??) It is just called a sphere because we do not have another name for it. We don't call circles 2D spheres because... they have names.\n\nAs for, if the universe is a (4D) sphere, where does this spehere exist?? in vacumm? the vacumm as we know it is IN a 3D spatial space. Just like a 3D sphere cannot exist on a 2D plane, a 4D sphere definitely cannot exist on a 3D space. When u place a 3D sphere in a 2D plane, u only see "parts" of it, as circles. And by induction, in our 3D universe and with our 3D minds, when a 4D sphere is place in front of u, all u see is normal 3D spheres which are just "parts" of the complete 4D thing that we will never be able to imagine, but know exist. So, the universe as a 4D sphere must exist in a 5D or higher space then?? And then where does this 5D(or higher) space exist in?? even higher space? and so on and so forth? This then becomes a question of philosophy and logic, instead of science.\n\nwhen u try to look at a 4D spatial thing in our 3 spatial D space, we use time to assist us. So, a 4D spahere if appear to us would not appear all at once, but in a series of change. This is the curiosity of our time dimension. Although it is equivalent to spatial dimensions as demonstrated by einstein, it however knit its existence into our conscience. It is as if our mind is not capable of understanding the 4th D all "at once" and so, we observe the 3Ds we can handle, and the forth D is revealed to us slowly. God was saying, "don't worry, i wont overwhelm u with this 4th D. I'll show u bit by bit." Maybe if u wanna see a 4D spehre at once... u should "experience" all the experiences of 3D parts at once, whatever that means. or this is like...knowing. You know what u know. u do not need to go thru the mind and recall every pieces of knowledge piece by piece to know u know. at once u know. so, to imagine a 4D sphere, all u have to do is know it. And hence, here come mathematics to help u describe something that u know but cannot describe.\n\nok i m drifting off to something unrelated and soon i will be talking about my garden and the stock market. bye

The empty space is not so empty.\nBillions of atoms and much more photons;\n1000 dm3 and 1,000,000 cm3.

Ok...we don't know how big the entire universe is. It may well be infinite, which, assuming it is homogeneous, would mean that it has infinite mass. At any rate, physicists currently think it is "much larger" than the observable universe. How much larger? I don't think that they have any evidence. But let's assume that we can see 1% of all visible space. This would make the mass of the universe = 100 * 3 * 10^52 kg, or 3 * 10^55 kg.

this is actually a common misconception about the big bang.  the universe may be something like the two dimensional surface of a sphere.  it is finite yet has no boundary and no center.  nothing exists "outside" the universe.  to quote a dead writer, "there is no there, there".\n\nread this:\nhttp://www.sciam.com/print_version.cfm?articleID=0009F0CA-C523-1213-852383414B7F0147
