" Trying to give a reason as to why existence exists is a pretty tall order.  It's hard to say that there could ever be truly "nothing", because even if the vastness of space was devoid of planets, stars, and galaxies, there would still be the vastness of space itself.  How can something like that not exist? "

Is there a solid boundary between the ends of our universe and...well...whatever is OUTSIDE of it? The universe is constantly expanding, but what is it expanding into? Is there anything outside the universe? GAH, these are questions that cannot yet really be answered. "

The only reason people think our universe as a boundary is because they are so closed minded, due to the nature of our lives and everything we do with them, humanity is unable to believe something else could truly be eternal, and so we impose limits on everything else. As for the universe expanding, again, complete bullshit. Given that the 'big bang' was X many millions of years ago, light can only have traveled a certain distance in that time, and the light from outside this sphere (with earth as the centrepoint) has not yet reached the earth, so we cannot see it. Yet, as we get further and further from the big bang, more light reaches us because it has had longer to travel, and thus it appears to us that the universe is expanding when in reality, someone is turning on the lights, very very slowly.It has also been proven than our galaxy is slowly on a collision course with another galaxy (dont worry, it's billions of billions of billions of years away from happening, our sun will have exploded before it happens) and that other galaxies have collided as well, it is not unreasonable to believe that after an unimagionable amount of time, every galaxy in the universe (or at least a big enough portion of the universe to reset itself, like I said we cannot see whether the universe has an end or not as light from that distance has not yet reached us) collides, it would render itself the correct conditions for another big bang, and the cycle starts again.That's just my opinion/theory though, many scientists will tell you I am wrong, insane, misinformed etc, but then they all say that about everything until something proves them otherwise.

" This is exactly why I dont post drunk "

" @Termite: Given that even the commonly accepted model is simply theoretical, the onus isn't simply on me to provide evidence. There is very little evidence to support any of the commonly accepted theories as it is, just more evidence than other theories. How can I provide evidence for a theory which at this present time, cannot be proven or disproven? I can't, all I can do is theorise, and I find the idea that the universe simply stops, and that dimensions cannot exist outside of this bubble to be ludicrous. Unless someone presents me a theory as to why dimensions, time and space cannot exist in this area of absolute nothingness, then I will continue to believe that they do exist there, even if it is in another form from the one we currently enjoy. I also support several other theories, such as the multiverse theory, but I believe this theory is the correct one, and seeing as noone can prove or disprove any of them it's a little rich to say I and I alone need to provide evidence isn't it?

" better yet, what if you were your fathers father, think about it "

Dude, I just asked myself the same question. Why does the universe exist? Does it exist so one can ask why? Is it all a dream? And if so: whos's the dreamer? Are we all real or are we just shadows of possibilitys manifested in a certain plane of probabiltiy? Are there other planes of relevance were other things exist? Is the theory of the quantum mirror and multiple dimensions true? Are there other realitys that exist just a slight dimensional shift away? Why can't I lick my elbows? Why can't I own a plane that doesn't use any fuel and is as easy to fly as a toy? How long to technical singularity? Are we all engineered to run a giant AI? Why is the answer 42? What is the right question to this answer? Where is my towel? Why can't I stop asking stupid questions?
