Well George, I can only think of 2 possibilities, the Universe always existed, or it didn't. It is also possible that there are many, even infinite Universes according to Hawkings. You ask some very profound questions George, but alas I don't have the answers tonight. The idea that the Universe is finite is absurd, but so is the idea that it is infinite. Either way seems to lead to a paradox, doesn't it. It has been shown that nature abhors a vacuum. It seems that if you try to get every last atom out of an enclosed space that new matter will appear, and that vacuum is seething with energy. Yet, when atoms become too dense in a given volume, they collapse into a Black Hole. It seems that nothingness can't exist, and too much matter can't either. That's mainly why I am a Steady Stater. I think that new Universe is continuously being formed, while it is being destroyed elsewhere. Oh, out past the end of the Universe is anti-nothingness. Del
