Quote:"Universe" means "everything there is." By definition there cannot be anything beyond everything there is.
Indeed it does, and it was derived from a people who also thought that the Sun orbited the Earth, it is also a prime example of the argument from definition. We don't know if there is anything beyond the universe, and shouldn't make assumptions about it for convenience, as that is simply bad epistemology.
Quote:No matter how far you go in any given direction, you will still find yourself inside the Universe.No, we do not live in a "closed" universe but a flat one. In a Euclidean plane a closed universe resembles a sphere, where you always remain inside it. A flat universe is like a flat surface, reaching in every direction.
I would more generally advocate that one only leave one entrance into their mind(reason), and keep the rest of it rather closed, as it is one hell of a lot easier to shovel shit in than it is to get it out.
If the evidence and reason for you to believe something isn't really any better than the reason you should believe some rural farmer from Arkansas got anally probed by interstellar visitors, then you probably shouldn't.
