Beyond Space

There are many paradoxes encountered when you start trying to consider the beginnings of time and space and try to answer the age-old question of ‘what is beyond space?’ From the infinite regress presented when using God to explain how the universe was created (and in turn having to ask the question ‘where did God from?’) through to trying to understand how the universe can be expanding if there is nothing there for it to expand into, even the most eminent scientists often struggle to truly get their heads around the problem.

It is assumed by most of us that before the big bang there was simply nothing. However, this is not exactly true. Before the big bang, there wasn’t even space or time, so there couldn’t have been nothing as there was nothing for there to be nothing within.

Once you’ve had a breather and a cup of tea to stop your head from hurting so much, if you are still keen to learn more about the universe and wish to try to answer that question of what might be beyond space, why not buy some astronomical telescopes and start learning more about space yourself. The more you use telescopes to study space, the easier it will be to understand the forces acting upon everything from planets to the solar systems themselves.

And whilst you may not be able to answer the question of what is beyond space just by using astronomical telescopes, you may well be able to form your own hypotheses about what this universe of ours might be contained within, and in many cases your guess might be as good as the very best.

So rather than just sitting back and deciding that space is just too confusing, why not get out those telescopes, learn more and see what answers you come up with off your own back?
