Let's talk space as a whole. Have you ever wondered just HOW far space goes on? Can it possibly go on FOREVER, or does it fade out at some point? Try to tell me which statement about the boundaries of the universe is true.
Another name for the universe is, "the Milky Way Galaxy", so the universe's boundries are simple those of the Milky Way Galaxy.
There are no known "boundaries" of the universe. Scientists say it goes on virtually forever.
Scientists believe that, at some faraway point, what we refer to as the universe fades away into an oxygen-free black matter we call "EBM" (Endless Black Matter)
Scientists know that, at some faraway point, what we refer to as the universe fades out into another substance. We know little about this sunstance, and have you to name it.
The universe has 9 known boundaries; The boundaries as a whole are refered to by astronomers as " The Nonogon Boundaries".
