The momemt you say, Universe is finite (I guess in space), the next question that arises is what is next? What after? Is there another Universe that is starting? If no is there ether?? What is there???

In any event, my submission is that matter is electromagnetic and it is the inherent nature of electromagnetic entities to expand; hence the title of this thread: "Is not Motion the Dominant Paradigm?" Indeed, with regard to the question: 'Where is it expanding to?' Is not this question equally addressed to the status quo (spatially) expanding universe? For my part, dipayankar, I refer to Einstein's statement: "The universe is finite, but unbounded". I interpret this to mean, finite at any given moment in space, but unbounded in time. And that it is an ever expanding, logarithmically accelerating spiral shape... Expanding - accelerating - from the infinite microcosms, to the infinite macrocosms.

Although this rendition isn't absolutely logarithmic (otherwise it would go off the page, promptly), what I think is 'there', is more of the same expanding universe, squared...

Ad infinitum, perhaps?

Another rendition of the dynamic structure of a finite but unbounded universe. Emerging out of microcosmic infinity, while accelerating toward macrocosmic infinity:

RP, does an idea of a Hyperuniverse, (not multiverse) which contains our Universe much like an apartment building with multiple flats and each flat expanding / contracting within that Hyper Universe sound logical to you???

Yes, it does, dipayankar. And thank you for the expression - I've not previously heard it described quite that way before...

[dipayankar]

In such a case what would be the boundaries for each sub universe??

Optical - 'event' - horizons.

[dipayankar]

Do these event horizons shrink???

There seems to be two schools of thought on this, dipayankar.
One that says they shrink, and another that says they expand.
I am of the latter school.
Sort of like Friedmann's equations that find Einstein's Cosmological Constant either expanding or contracting...

I find the Cosmological Constant to be what's being called 'dark energy', today. The cause of the acceleration of the expanding universe, and the cause of the (spatially) expanding universe itself. My work first predicted this in 1959.

I proffer that matter itself is expanding also.

Dear RP,

Surely there are many more event horizons than optical, what about the horizon no one can see?
