Like it or not the human race is also inquisitive.
A book I've read that in the end is very enlightening(to me anyways),
if not a little boring was:
A Short History Of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson0 -
I have read it does not end but we do not have the intelligence to accept this theory.

That is my problem. Without the ability to concieve anything outside of 3 dimensions in our world everything has a begining or end that we use as reference. Thus it is hard to accept that something we can see, feel or touch has no end. Even time, which we are able to accept, that has no end is referenced from point to point which in many cases is defined as our own lifetimes. Like someone said, "what is the universe expanding into,and what encompases THAT area and so on and so for.[?]
Man , now I have a headache again!0 -
"Are we alone? Who is God? What is our purpose? To me, I would ask...how dare we even be so arrogant to venture such thoughts!!"
Exactly!! Some Native American cultures believed (and rightfully so)
that There are some things one just don't ponder.[:)]
Actually, I don't live at the end of the universe...but i can see it
from here.[;)]0 -

I'm a believer in the ever expanding universe, but after much reading, I'm still not sure why.
The reason the universe is still expanding is because the dark energy has escaped the gravitational force of the dark matter in the universe.

That's what them dudes on drugs were talking about on the Science Channel the other day. Except they said the String Theory had been replaced with the Theory of Everything. They said the Theory of Everything fixed the discrepancy in calculating time back to the Big Bang. Hell, I didn't even know there was a discrepancy. They also said the dark matter is all around us, we just can't see it cause it's dark. [:D]0 -

J.B.S. Haldane observed-
"The universe is not only queerer than we suppose;
it is queerer than we CAN suppose."
Whatever you believe, if the universe wasn't made or formed precisely as it was, you and I would not be here discussing this.0 -

You mean to tell me that if someone just turned on the dam light, we could see what the bleep has/is been going on? [;)]0 -

You probably hit your head on some dark matter.

Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the drug store, but that's just peanuts to space.
-Douglas Adams
Douglas Adams was nothing short of a genius. Unfortunately he died at the age of 55 of a heart attack with many good years of writing ahead of him. I have read all of his books at least 5 times over and own most of his collection. I'm going to go as far to say he is the greatest comedy writer of all time.0 -
Alot of good replies.........I've pondered this question. I think of it as simply this: This life that we know here has a subsequent 'afterlife'. I'm certain of that. I believe in God, Ghosts and spirits. I think of it this way with the knowledge that I have gathered. If you leave the surface of this earth and proceed into outerspace,,, where the fu*k are you gonna end up after what? 20 yrs of travel at 21,000 MPH,,,, ?? But I don't think that kind of space travel is gonna be available within the lifetime of all of us old geezers on the forum. gotta die to get there. I think it has someting to do with japanees making an infinity? Define Infinity. That is forever. It contines with no end. Just think about it 0
