Is there an END to this Universe?

infinity is finite.

[M17ArnoBaloch]

baloch bro, i said it was too complicated for me!
but your analogue of drawing a circle over a circle is a simplification that defeats my simplicity!!!

here is another infinity problem; think of the highest number you can think of.

is there a number higher than that?

Yes, you are right. As long as we keep complicated things un-complexed and simple, it would slowly make sense, but even then, it would not answer our question.

Hmmmmm, that's something mind-boggling, and makes sense. Numbers are infinite too.

You should be lucky that they have not reached other planets,otherwise they would have messed all the universe.

On the otherhand exploring the universe i see it as among the greatest things,to think about beyond what we see,to imagine the greatness of the galaxies and there your mind will say Praise be to Allah,there is no God beside him,he is the lord of the heavens and the earths.

Nothing is better than Astronomy,i use a great deal of my time in expanding knowledge in Astronomy,Blackholes,Powers,and calculations to find an Earth similar to the one we live on.

You'd be surprised to know where you lie in the milky way galaxy, with how tiny you are (the earth), but it is then when you go deep into the exploration. But you are right, we are treating our planet like a trampoline instead of a bed, jumping on it till it breaks leaving no place for anyone to sleep on it. Pollution, hate, crimes, political disturbance, misery is a common phenomena.

mountains are large. they don't get to go anywhere. as i said, i don't care how vast the universe is. i am very happy with my role in it. why should one worry about the possibilities of how life must have been if they were what they are not while they are not done savoring what they already have to it's fullest??

End of the Universe


When the Quran descended, no one has known anything about the end of the universe, but the Quran referred to this definite end in His Almighty sayings: (And the Day when We shall roll up the heaven like a scroll rolled up for books. As We began the first creation, We shall repeat it. (It is) a promise binding upon Us. Truly, We shall do it) [Surat Al-Anbiya, verse: 104]. Many scientists today believe that as the universe began, it should have an end.

The holy verse:
God be he exalted says: (And the Day when We shall roll up the heaven like a scroll rolled up for books. As We began the first creation, We shall repeat it. (It is) a promise binding upon Us. Truly, We shall do it) [Surat Al-Anbiya, verse: 104].
The explanation of the verse:
The verse talks about the end of the universe which means that Allah be He exalted will fold up the sky like folding the books.
So God be He exalted compared the stars to the letters that are written in the books and when the book is folded (i.e., the sky), it will contain within it the letters and words (i.e., the stars, planets, and other creatures).
And this comparison is only to become close to our minds the end of the universe process, but the scene is far greater than this explanation.

Scientific fact:
Scientists have recently found and after years of research and study that the universe has a beginning and an end. The famous scientist Stephen Hawking said: we should conclude from these facts the existence of the beginning of time.
And all findings indicate that there is an end to the universe although astronomers today are divided into two teams; the first believes that there is a definite end to the universe which they call the great crunch and the other team believes that the universe will expand forever.

The point of inimitability:
But since we have faith that the Quran came with the absolute truth, and that God be He exalted told us about the end of the universe so we believe that this will happen. And as the Quran told us this, so it is a miracle of the holy Quran.

Subhanallah.
The ayat from sura alanbiyah is remarkably. It is almost like a paraphrasing of the the models used by scientists today - scrolling space and repeating it - space-time collapsing to singularity and then repeating.

These models are incredibly complex for lay people, only truly accessible to those trained in mathematics and physics of cosmos, yet laid out in the surat revealed to Arabs 1.4 millenium ago in such a way so jahil Arab could handle the complexity of the cosmos.
