#7 & #8 - there is nothing "outside" the universe because the expansion of space /creates/ space itself.
#20 - besides the fact that we can directly observe which of these is true (the latter), conceptually the former cannot be true. Think of it this way: if the universe existed infinitely far back, how did we arrive at today?
Doris, There is no "expansion" of space. You only fill infinite space with limited physically objects and You waste a lot of time to move from one object (say planet) to another.
An objects perception of spacetime is relative to the speed of light. A photon of light experiences zero time. This means when we observe a photon from the Big Bang, it appears to us to have been traveling for ~13.7 billion years, but for the photon, the journey was instantaneous.
“Energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can only be changed from one form to another.” So when you die where does the energy go? God rest his soul, maybe not
“We are separated from the hostile environment of space by next to nothing. If the Earth were the size of a basketball, the entire biosphere — from the bottom of the ocean to the top of the troposphere — would be the thickness of a coat of paint.”
