Title: What happens to Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle at the edge of the Universe?
Post by: CZARCAR on 25/11/2009 13:33:56

assumptions
1-gravity cant contain the universe?
2-speed of light can be exceeded?
a particle travels to the edge of the universe. the diminishing gravity from the universe provides a source for acceleration of the particle. when the particle reaches the speed of light it stops in time & heisenberg's uncertainty disappears. as the particle continues to accelerate beyond C, time reverses & moves backwards & heisenberg's uncertainty reappears?

if a theory similar to this exists lemme know so i can try to read it....thanx

Who says there's an edge?

There is no edge to the universe. The reason why fundamentally resolves to relativity. If there was an edge, what is it a boundary of?

On the other hand, string theory allows for a boundary. This is because it would be a boundary between our space, and a multidimensional bulk.
