Thank you very much... I am now up to date on my hopes and dreams. Isn't it all so incredible! Anyway, "It is unknown whether the universe/spacetime is infinite or finite" is a good enough answer. I just have to wonder... Maybe someday we will have lived long enough to know.

It is merely assumption.. .so why assume anything? I am just acknowledging it. You see, back a long time ago we used to think the sun and the sky was eternal. We used to sing songs about how there was a world without beginning or end. Well, in a very real way, it seems as though our Universe... Began. So, it only begs a question: Does it End? If I look at Hubble, and look at what we are seeing, I am looking at a Universe still in process. Star creation clusters here, star deaths over there: a basic whirlpool of chaos and creation. That beauty makes me wonder if it is evolving, or purely chaotic. If it is evolving... what is it becoming? I have a lot of questions, and it seems to me we are now at a point in all of our investigations and observations that we can begin to answer them intelligently. I have had these questions quite a long time, and I am tired of merely praying to God about them. I want to know what we have seen and what we know so far.

I am assuming that the nature of light determines the age and direction of the universe. If so, then perhaps it can become a predictor of a future potential. However, this may not be the case. I will probably head on over to the Iowa State University library and read some books on everything - they have a decent science core there - and take a look. I have always used public institutions for these sorts of endeavors, and want to know what is a good way to begin investigating how to form a theory for where our Universe may be headed... towards mass destruction, evolution into a new form, or timelessness? What have you guys found out so far in your work? Thank you!

Wow, light is beautiful! I will really look at this electromagnetic stuff all over again... it has been quite a long time since I dove into the books! So, is the speed of light a type of speed limit to the universe. The Universe is expanding thanks to big bang, and it must have an over all rate... does it then, decay. Slow down? How does that work? My knowledge is very old, about 70's ish when I studied this stuff as a young boy. Hence particles and waves, trying to explain liquids and solids to a youth. Anyway, do you all have good books I can look up and read? I am way out of the modern definitions of what you good folks are worried about, but it falls under Cosmology, because it deals with the general nature of the Universe. I read Hawking a bit, and time distortion, but need to go back to the basics.

Thank you very much for your reply! I will take it all into consideration and reform my ideas. When I remember, Light was defined as the union of a particle and a wave moving at a constant speed... is this still accurate? Seems the definition has changed.

Every time we prove something as Immortal, we find a Mortality. This is Decay. It seems as though even Black Holes have Decay. If this is the case, is there an Eternity to look forward to? Theoretically, under what conditions would the Universe need to have in order to promote a Limitless Existence? Do we currently support the movement towards such a potential? Postulate: Can the particle moved along a light beam become a wave without decay. Simply a wave of light where a particle is unnecessary? Is this a shift in current reality? Particles show decay, waves simply move and stop, bounce, and are absorbed - and created? Are particles simply a stop-motion wave? I wish I had your guy's training in this subject matter, but what exactly is a particle? Please include string theory in how a particle is formed please, because I do not have the books on hand. So, to understand me: What is the nature of a particle/wave - and if Light has a Constant Speed in order to exist, can that speed be achieved without a particle - showing light without physical form? Anyway, nice to meet you all, I am Ronnie.
