Is this thread not supposed to be an ongoing discussion?
I think the answer to the question, "What is beyond the edge of the universe?", is we don't know there is one. The edge, as I understand it, isn't an edge of a physical object but the outerlining of the furthest stars our instruments can detect. There simply is no light to determine where an edge or outerside might be. The universe may very well extend into infinity or loop around infinitely or whathaveyou.

Source? As I understand, the shape of the universe is yet to be determined.
You'd have to ask a site staff member for a definitive answer, but based on what I've seen in the past I would say "no." The AF member photo thread and the "What are you drinking" thread would be good examples of threads that are ok to necropost.
Besides, 12 pages is not exactly a "popular" thread around here.
Basically, if someone is commenting on a thread getting necroed, it's a fair indicator that it's outside the "allowable." Not to worry though. It's not like anyone's gonna swing the ban hammer over it.
