Then again, the universe we know may just be "our whole" which is just a fraction of the "true whole", which is the multiverse.

It doesnt matter what it means, just because people named it something that implies that there is only one doesnt mean that they werent wrong to name it that. It was just within their comprehension.

It is possible that there could be multiple universes that surround or solar system the thing is science has stated that there is an asteroid belt at the "end of our universe" so they say but can we know what’s beyond that? And if science has found the asteroid belt how come they can't go further? Could it be that there maybe something that we are afraid to know? I guess there are something’s we were never meant to know about the way the universe is built around us and exactly how many “universes” there are.

They have telescopes that refract light to far beyond the asteroid belt. We cant see anything in 'present' time however, since these great distances bound far beyond the limit to which speed can travel , but we CAN see them regardless.

Speed travels now?
If we can discover certain eight and ninth period elements, it might be possible to travel faster than the speed of light. Supposedly, some electrons in those elements have been predicted to have speeds faster than light. However, we cannot say this is true as none of the eight and ninth period elements have been discovered. =[ ~Tsugomaru |

Well now that reminds me of gamma radiation. Isnt that supposed to be so fast that it can penetrate nearly anything?

(i obviously forgot 'of light'). Im not sure how an electron would go about being faster then the speed of light, considering it is relative...but im not quite educated on that subject. I believe gamma radiation can go through things because it is considered massless, but im assuming that with lack of mass it would be easier to move and accelerate.

It is rather well known that something of non mass can travel faster than light. You can accelerate photons past the speed of light. (Also, remember 'relative mass' does not count as having mass. Relative mass, like a photon, only has mass because it has energy, e=mc^2) *and as a technical side note, the photons still don't move themselves faster than the speed of light, but their state is distorted such that they move from point a to b faster than it would normally. It is seen as the photon reaching point b before it has left point a. And then taking into account that when talking about light speed, you're talking about an energy state. It should be possible to travel between two points much faster than light by bending space time to shorten the relative distance traveled. Quote:
We can see pretty far into space just using telescopes. Way beyond the asteroid belt. http://www.pparc.ac.uk/Ps/aac/images/full.jpg Using CMBR actually, we can see right to the beginning of the universe.

And also, by definition the universe is only able to exist within itself, therefore there is technically only one no matter how you put it. Perhaps there would be different sections of the universe that you could travel to and would be different from each other, but there would still only be one. If you die and go to heaven, you would still be within the universe. Perhaps in a different section or dimension but nonetheless in it. Also as I stated in my first post, the idea from which "multiple universes" was derived was complete ludicrous and already disproven.

Reach, would you consider Heisenberg's Uncertainty principle in calculating photons and their movement? Thats what first came to mind when you were mentioning their distortion in movement. And also...i dont believe we can actually see to the beginnign of our existence, 14 billion years ago. The Hubble, which is our strongest telescope to date, can only see about 7-9 billion years into the past, unless of course you know something that i dont?

http://educate-yourself.org/zsl/para...s19nov04.shtml I'm pretty sure that is VERY incorrect, and can simply be explained as the light waves canceling each other out. The amplitudes being opposite changes when you add the extra hole, hence the change in the pattern. You learn about it in high school physics, and do a few labs based on this principle. On topic, I think there are multiple universes. There is no reasonable explanation as to why there is not (but I will agree that nothing says they do exist either). It makes more sense to me that like atoms form matter, and matter forms planets, and planets form solar systems, that form galaxies, that form the universe (each with gaps between the pieces of substance that make them), the universe is part of a larger thing. Like atoms are made of quarks, and we don't know what quarks are made of, but they behave very much the same, albeit for different reasons (electromagnetism vs. gravity).
