You mean the new Quantum Theories? Strings, membranes, all that? Interesting stuff. Still allows for a big bang but undoes the far future shrinkage back to a single point to do it again.

Also creates 11 dimensions, undoes the "matter and energy cannot be created or destroyed" rule or at least modifies it, and puts us at level 4 in an 11 level existance. Strange stuff but what I find interesting is that it deletes the scientific blocks on a ton of things that science had been comfortable in disproving. Opens them all up for new discussion. Just a short list includes magic, most supernatural, and god. (there are other Boards on the net for all that though)

If your universe is Atari 2600 Combat, the edge of the universe is likely a wrap-around effect to the other side...

Hard to really know the answer without going there, and if there is no edge... or even if there is but it's as far away as it looks... good luck ever getting there, even with your descendants.

If you find an impossibly coincidental at the massively extreme end of the number pi, then someone has been playing with the computers you're using to do the calculations... or some uber nerd like Carl Sagan created the universe you call real. They say humans create god in their own image...
