Any why does it matter if it is useless to US? God loves and cares for all creation, from the lowloest atom.of inanimate matter upwards.
Plus. And Godā€™s Kingdom - which is currently unobservable to us - is Very Useful to usā€¦

@Freddy, I mentioned the water at the bottom of the ocean and the Antarctica ice, if that was useless. It is part opf our world, which sustains us. As does the sun. What else do we need? I am not a physicist to say for sure, but I suspect our solar system may not be able to exist on its own, within the laws of physics, without the surrounding galaxy. I suspect the Milky Way sustains us also. Taking it further, are you claiming the Milky Way would be stable without the surrounding galaxies? And would those galaxies be stable without the rest?

Are you so sure that the universe, as it exists, does not contribute to our sustenance? If it sustains us, how is it useless?

Perhaps you have better theoretical physics knowledge than I.
There is no connection between the observable universe and that which is beyond the boundary. It literally cannot affect us in any way, by definition. The ocean water and the antarctic ice form part of the environment and that environment would change if neither existed (as we might find out to our cost if the antarctic ice keeps dissapearing). So they do contribute to our existence. As does everything on the planet. It is all interlinked. All useful.

The ā€˜unobservable universeā€™ has no use to us.
Why on earth should something be useless to us just because we have not (yet) observed it?

If something is useful to any part of creation in any way, you can be sure it matters to Him.
You are not going to be able to observe it. What is on the other side of the boundary of the observable universe is moving away from us faster than the speed of light. It is impossible to get any information from it as information cannot travel faster than that.

And it doesnā€™t matter at all to me that itā€™s useless. Iā€™m just pointing that fact out because people were denying it.

Izzat so? Chapter and Verse? šŸ™‚

MeanWhile, we know more about the Physical Realm than just Visual Observation.

Andā€¦ The Metaphysical and Spiritual Realms ā€¦ can not be measured in terms of:

Mass, Distance, Space-Timeā€¦

Yepā€¦
Say so - no support - so noā€¦
Sorry. I thought this common knowledge. Space itself is expanding. How are galaxies moving away faster than light?

So, no. We can never access everything on the other side of the boundary which marks the observable universe. An infinity of whatever is out there that serves no purpose as far as we are concerned. It has no use. It is therefore (wait for itā€¦) useless.

In fact, in the far distant future, everything will have passed that boundary. Weā€™ll be alone in a dark void.

could beā€¦ but is Fraser Cainā€™s stanceā€¦ accepted by all astro-physicists?

AND - getting back to 'faster than the speed of light" ā€“ Cain ends with:

I stand with Einstein when I say that nothing can move faster than light through space, but objects embedded in space can appear to expand faster than the speed of light depending on your perspective.

Iā€™m sorry. That was as simple an explanation in that link that I could find. Maximum velocity is fixed. But that doesnā€™t mean that two things canā€™t be moving apart from each other at a rate which exceeds the speed of light.

Iā€™m afraid that you are going to have to accept that thereā€™s an infinity of existence beyond the observable universe that is forever unreachable.
 
I have something here for you. I made it. Do you find it of any use?
It could be for someone else, but it is possible that it is not something that serves a purpose.

Not according to Einsteinā€¦

Iā€™ll never accept what is pure unadulterated guesswork say-so

Thatā€™s not the way of Science - - šŸ™‚

Einstein isnā€™t wrong. Velocity is fixed at a maximum. But galaxies outside the observable universe arenā€™t necessarily moving at a velocity relative to us. The ā€˜comovingā€™ distance (that is the distance measured were the universe not expanding) could be fixed. But the space between us is increasing so the ā€˜properā€™ distance is increasing.

That simply means that the distance between us is getting bigger at a rate faster than the speed of light.
 
But that would mean the mass of the objects in question would be more than infinity, which is impossible.

Arenā€™t necessarily? ā€¦ Could be? ā€¦ Could change? ā€¦ Suggests? . šŸ™‚

Hereā€™s something thatā€™ll really bake your noodle: There are an estimated 2 TRILLION Galaxies in the observable universe. Just wrap your head around how many planets that would be considering that the Milky Way has approximately 100-400 billion stars, with approximately 200 billion planets, and there many galaxies that are far larger Galaxies than the Milky Way. The Andromeda Galaxy, which is visible in the night sky ( not where I live, unfortunately) is estimated to contain at least 1 trillion stars, twice the number of our galaxy. Itā€™s above my pay grade to even contemplate 2 trillion multiplied by the 200 billion planets that are in our galaxy.

Iā€™m saying that they may not be to illustrate the fact that even if they arenā€™t then the distance between us is expanding faster than light can travel.

Really, your propensity for arguing for the sake of arguing is becoming tedious.

Noā€¦ Iā€™m showing how terms such as: " arenā€™t necessarily" and "ā€œmay notā€ (= ā€œmayā€), et cetera, when employed within any argument - should be realized as undermining any Discussion whose intention is to come to a resolution of a Questionā€¦

Discussions w/Socrates is a perfect example of how REASON - can come to Realizations which can indeed Refute false Argument.

ā€œGalaxies outside the observable universes were traveling faster than the speed of light!ā€ ā€¦

Yes? Then, No?

I mean likeā€¦ cā€™monā€¦
