Is it like that scene from Spongebob where Squidward was alone in an empty white void?
In: Physics
One of the fundamental assumption of modern astronomy is that there’s nothing special about our place in the universe. By this reasoning, what’s outside the observable universe should look the same as what’s inside. The same distribution of planets, stars, galaxies etc.
The boundary of the observable universe isn’t any kind of wall. It’s just the point where the expansion of the universe is fast enough that light from there will.never reach us. There could be a planet orbiting a star out there at that distance with some creature on it that is wondering the same thing about what life is like here, at the edge of *their* observable universe.
