Somewhere out there is the farthest galaxy (currently) known to man. Now think about this. One of its stars is the farthest known star, making it the farthest known object in the universe. Let's assume it is definitely the farthest. Then what lies past? Darkness yes. But is there anything really there? Can you go into it, past the stars curvature?
Let's go, sorry to use the word again, farther. I mean... I assume at some point in its life, the star would, like all stars, use up its fuel, and begin to collapse into itself. Say it was large enough to produce a supernova, and it in fact did. The implosion, and resulting explosion shoots matter and elements even farther away. And now one of these objects is the farthest known star.
The same question begs again "can you go into it." Meaning the blackness farther away than the farthest known object. Did that space it now occupies exist before the star matter was propelled into it? Because if there are no stars there, or ANYTHING for that matter then there cannot be a curvature of space, which I assume would mean no space-time. Because you can't have space without time, right?
I realize the vast distances between everything in the known universe are "empty" but trust me, so many of the objects in space are so massive even at such distances they provide the curvature of time and space to allow the existence of things in between.
But at the very "edge" of the farthest known object... where it's gravity is at its max distance... You are as close as possible to the edge of where its gravitational field lies... and there is where I am talking about. So what... if you could just float there... would you hit an invisible wall? Would you jump to the other side of the universe? Does the curvature of time and space go all the way around like the Earth's mapped surface? What the hell happens there!!??
________ and I just had a thought. Everything has a gravitational field. And theoretically if you could get there, you would most likely be able to continue on into the darkness, because you yourself would produce your own field, and curvature of space-time as you traveled, albeit a small one, but one always big enough for yourself. I feel like a badass now for thinking this shit up lol.
