iwas just wondering if anyone else gets pissed off when you talk about the universe and people just expect you to believe it just goes on forever. imean the universe must be in somthing but then again the thing its in must be in somthing unless its in a loop and it reapeats its self forever which still doesnt explain anything. any one have some theores?? my friends have run out of ideas

the universe is constantly expanding. also, the rate at which it is expanding is constantly accelerating. If we did jump through a wormhole or something else that I've seen on startrek, and end up at the edge of the universe, we wouldn't be able to catch up to it to see what was on the other side.

ok my theory is that we have 100 to the 56th power number of galaxies in the universe right? Billions of stars in each galaxy, gajillions of galaxies. And this universe is a giant egg.. lets call it the Absolutum. The All-That-Is. With me so far? So let's say that this Absolutum is just a galaxy in a sea of other clusters of galaxies.. and who knows how far it goes.. that's not for us to know just yet. The universe is like any form of life here on Earth. It lives, it breathes, it dies, it is reborn. It is a living, breathing, entity. Right now it is inhaling. And reality is infinite.
I find the easiest explanation is the age old saying: As is above, so is below.. As is below, so is above.. As is within, so is without.. As is without, so is within..
atoms reflect the planets reflect the galaxy reflect the absolutum reality reflects imagination reflects dreams reflects reality
We are I am

maybe cuz things are created as they are investigated? example: you could keep looking for the initial cause of something but you will never find it...so there is no initial cause..the cause is nothing

why is it so hard to believe it goes on forever? Even if space is only gargantuanly huge and not unlimited, the universe can't not exist and will be around forever, maybe collpasing in on itself or something from time to time and exploding again.

Blackholes do not destroy information, so everything that goes in a black holes has to come out at some point is the most populair theory as far as I know. Hawkin reasoned that information was destroyed in black holes. This problem is called the information paradox.
Gerard van t Hooft and others reasoned that black holes do not destroy information because that would be against the law of conservation of energy, which holds true in classical and quantum physics. I almost sure that Hawkin later agreed with van t Hooft and other defenders of "the black holes do not destroy information" theory.
But this isn't the universe in a sentence

Allow me to explain.. we are literally, waking up.. as our solar system begins to swing towards the light, the galactic center. It's more than a guarantee.. it is inevitable. We will enter fully into the Photon Band. The photon band is a quantum (smallest particle) of electromagnetic energy with zero mass-no electrical charge and an indefinitely long life time. It spirals from Alcyone to our Sun. Our solar system passes through it every 26,000 years. We began entering in 1987 and will be fully immersed in 2012. This is a very high frequency where life can only exist in the 4th and 5th dimensions. It is the date when the Maya calendar ends and a new world begins. Mayor cycles are closing at the same time; one of 26.000 years, one of 104.000 years, and one of 225.000.000 years, giving birth to new species and a new Heaven and Earth. We will travel down a wormhole into the Sirius system. We will never again enter the galactic night.

The universe is a cycle where everything that is possible (re)occurs into infinity because time itself, too, is cyclic.

Can't do it in one sentence.
According to M-Theory, the universe is contained inside a membrane floating around in the 11th dimension. This membrane was created when two other membranes collided, creating the Big Bang and the rapid expansion of the universe shortly thereafter. According to the theory, infinite other universes are created in this 11th-dimensional "brane" world all the time. Some of these other universes could have different laws of physics than us while others look exactly like our universe as it exists at this moment, and every possible combination in between. Basically, anything that could concievably(and in many cases inconcievably) occur does occur in some universe. There's a universe where Kennedy shot Oswald, or where the Soviets won the Cold War, or where Belize has won every single Olympics. Anything that can happen, does happen in some universe.
Of course, M-Theory is still hypothetical and can't yet be tested, so it currently falls under the category of protoscience(not to be confused with pseudoscience), so its validity has yet to be seen. But if it is true, then it fills in a lot of gaps in our scientific understanding of the cosmos. Of course, even if it is true, it still does not explain where(if anywhere) this brane dimension came from. I wouldn't be surprised if it has always existed for eternity, but perhaps it, too, has an origin, just like all the universes created in it.

That's not a result of M-Theory, is it? That is the Many-Worlds Interpretion of Quantum Mechanics to solve the problem of the collapsing probability wave. It's just a hypothesis and has not been tested. It won't be a result of M-theory if M-theory will show correct in experiments. So are the collapsing branes as far as I know, but I'm not sure about this. Correct me if I'm wrong!

Well, I heard about this in a video I watched in my Cosmology class about M-Theory. The thing about the colliding branes causing the Big Bang isn't a part of M-Theory per se, but it's an interesting hypothesis that a scientist came up with using M-Theory as a model. I am pretty sure that the 11th-dimensional brane world is a part of M-Theory, and the idea about the Big Bang came about from this scientist pondering what would happen if two of these branes were to collide.

m-theory (the attempt at unifying 5 types of string theory) is just a bunch of bullshit mathematics that only about 50 people in the world really understand and not one goddam useful thing (or prediction) has come out of it yet. a brane new wxrld, whatever, total mental masturbation thus far.
quantum entanglement and the spooky effect (where if you tickle one particle over here, it instantaneously affects an entangled particle way over there) have on the other hand been proven experimentally (in spite of einstein's "god doesn't play dice" obsession and attempts at refuting the non-locality of the universe) and that is the shiznit, because it opens doors into supraluminal travel, time travel sans paradoxes (of course, that kinda assumes the many-wxrlds hypothesis to be true), teleportation (which once again has been accomplished experimentally using a pair of entangled photons).
i guess this is turning into more of a 'science and technology' thread, so i better cut it out before i get eggs & tomatos all over my face.

in "The Physics of Consciousness" Evan Harris Walker pretty much states that, although the many-worlds theory is incredibly interesting, and WOULD solve a lot of the problems associated with state-vector collapse, it is in know way testable or provable. As was said above, no useful predictions have ever come out of it. It really doesn't give us any new information and doesn't change anything about our understanding of how quantum mechanics affects our world.
I'm only half way through the book, so i can't tell you much else.
How would I sum up the universe in a sentance?

The universe is expanding, and the rate at which it is expanding is accelerating.
Composite particles in the universe decay, and eventually the only matter that will be left in the universe will be in black holes (assuming the universe doesn't suddenly collapse, which doesn't fit our observations or logic at all).
Eventually, all stars will die, all galaxies will fall apart, all atoms will disintegrate. Eventually, according to science, all that will be left is photons in a universe that has expanded trillions and trillions of times beyond the current one.
So the "universe", as in some quantum particle plus space, won't die, but it might as well be dead. There will be no galaxies, no planets, no stars, eventually even no black holes due to Hawking radiation. And I don't see why it wouldn't stay like this for infinity (a logical impossibility; the universe will never reach infinity ).

The universe is an infinitely expanding spiral viewed from an infinitely expanding perspective in such a way that you appear to be seeing a spiral of fixed size going in and out of itself and never getting any bigger.... thus clearly having a beginning and end, but clearly at the same time not.
-------------------- I am the MacDaddy of Heimlich County, I play it Straight Up Yo! ....I embrace my desire to feel the rhythm, to feel connected enough to step aside and weep like a widow, to feel inspired, to fathom the power, to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain, to swing on the spiral of our divinity and still be a human...... Om Namah Shivaya, I tell you What!

No, in my mind. Except with a yin yang, but that's even harder to type out into words.
It's not of course, a spiral. But that's how you understand infinity... by looking at something finite.
Like on I <3 Huckabees.... "But what's outside the blanket? More blankets."

The Universe is the externalized and projected Body of GOD. Mind became Matter (Mater, Mother, Matrix). It occurred 10 to the -43 seconds ago through a Singularity called Tsim Tsum, or Kether, by Kabbalists, and The Big Bang by Cosmologists. The Energies left Zero-dimensional Reality, expanded, cooled and eventuated in physical matter called Malkuth by Kabbalists (Kingdom). The physical universe is suffused by Consciousness, much of which can be transmitted through a fully-functioning human being, because human beings are microcosmic (like small pieces of a hologram which contain the Whole Image, only imperfectly) 'sparks' of BEING Itself - the Source of the Singularity. Beings of lesser sentience transmit less Consciousness, presumably beings of greater-than-human sentience transmit more.

you're missing two important key factors in your little speel here:
- first and foremost is the fact that everything will eventually recombine back into a singularity (as we all rediscover ourselves for who we really are)
- and that this particular phenomenom will undoubtably flare back out once again, and start this entire sequence all over again...just as it always does
but I should also remind you that you don't need to go into some big huge speach to say the same exact thing...cause like I said before - it can all be summed up entirely in one single word

Current evidence suggests that the theory that the universe will eventually contract is false. Rather, the current consensus among scientists is that the universe will continue expanding untill it uses up all its energy and goes into heat death(no more motion or energy -- everything becomes the temperature of absolute zero).

They thought, the entire universe, was circling around the earth. Then they thought, the entire universe was circling around the sun. Then they discovered other galaxies and they, either moving away, or moving toward us, seemed very independent of any center..

I was about to say the same thing.
Evidently, God is rushing towards an infinity of nothingness, just like humans. In that sense, I'd say we are a hologram of everything; death and eternal nothingness unify us all, from the molecule to the cell to the human, the star, the galaxy and the universe. Everything will fail, making me wonder why anyone would worship an inevitably dying God (if Markos is right that the universe is God, which I don't believe).

How Hindu of you - an Oscillating Universe of kalpas. Of course, you choose to believe this to be the case (your prerogative), rather than believe in a unique creation which eventuates in what Pierre Teilhard de Chardin called "The Omega Point" - the 'transubstantiation' or the 'theosis' of the entire universe. On the other hand, I am attempting to parallel a physical theory with a metaphysical theory in response to the original query for 'the universe in a sentence.' Unfortunately, I expanded to 3 sentences, but then again, the 'Three' are 'One' in Trinitarian thought, so perhaps I'm still within the parameters.
BTW, 'spiel' apparently means an 'extravagance' of wordage. I don't think 3 sentences meets that criteria.

that's presicely what will happen to this universe...but not before we first spawn off another one in it's likeness
just think of it in terms of mushrooms:
a single spore will create an entire colony of mycelium this mycylium clump will create the shrooms it's meant to create and these shrooms will create spores of their own before dieing out the new spores will then go on to create new mycelium clumps that are exactly like the one that lead to their creation
our universe will eventually die off...much like a mycelium clump that's spent but the 'shrooms' of our existance will create their own little seeds that will give rise to a new existance, wich will continue to shroom in exactly the same way
everything loops my friend...even shit we can 'prove' doesn't work that way

Compared to what? The universe is only a system in itself, with nothing to compare, so it's the most amazing, the most bland, the most disappointing and the most interesting all within itself.

the universe is enegery in flux it's a singularity that goes all directions at once
"smoke rings"
My mouth is blowing smoke rings Dancing to air pressure and the vibrations of Earth An electromagnetic field dissipating to the air If only my ears could Smell every molecule of its Sound.
My eyes see energy of fractal equations To release bursts of frequency/Energy Energy Lifting the veil of perception Making Words be a constant of a fractal And Sound a crazy oscillation of energy To repeat a cycle which IS a fractal a Life equation that I AM.
A sea of representation of a constant in an oscillation is a sea of representation Of a constant in an oscillation is a sea of a sound of words Energy fluctuating, beating, pleasing, releasing vibrations of joy
Life consume energy I am a bubble of oscillating energy A Life equation obsessively consuming but never the less Resulting in ZERO
And perhaps just a ONE

I figure the universe was created by a big completely cube room made of energy reflective material like in this picture (the sphere is what is created and what it would look like if nothing else was in that room, you would have a sphere of darkness):
This is all completely random and I don't have much to support it, but I see the universe as a simulator, something or someone created to better understand their existance.
Or maybe there is a god and satan, and satan was put into this simulator to balance out his energy over and over as a punishment, I am not too sure, its all guessing.

the universe in a sentence is linguistic hypnosis with roots dating back to symbolic logic pioneered by Aristotle. the idea that anything and everything in the universe can be meaningfully described through permutations of sentences following formulas of symbolic logic may be better described as a meta-idea, for it is the realization of the operating system of thought which the conception that the universe is a thingamijig, a solidified object with a size like the monitor you're reading this post on that gives off a hard to the touch and fuzzy static sensation to the finger when poked. within these parameters of thought the statement "a monitor is not a keyboard" is one of the two types of meaningful sentences. this way of thinking contradicts our biology. while we walk though life as though there literally really is such a "thing" as monitor, it is our mental gestalt of what constitutes a monitor that can transform the whirling chaos of sensory data one is bombarded with in a simple activity like walking through a department into the discernment that there's a 17" hunk of plastic and glass that admist it all. can you begin to see the scanning mechanism at work? do you understand that the contrast between the fabric of reality that is permeable and undetectable to the senses (the "space") and crispy, solid to the touch monitors and walls creates our sense of distinction of shape, size, and depth.
as i understand if somebody of an indigenous tribe that has spent his whole life in the thickets of the jungle was to be placed in a vast desert a sand dune a mile away would appear the same distance away as his hand in front of his face, he has lacked the frame of reference of this environment that develops the stereoscopic vision to percieve the depth... is it really any surprise the lump sum of a muddle of models staggers the imagination? i bet a birdseye view of this alleged "universe" would make ya hurl.
-------------------- Everything is better than it was the last time. I'm good. If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care. It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence. I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too. If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.
