RE:What exists outside our universe?

It is very simple. the egg came first. Chickens evolved from reptiles, right? So something that was almost a chicken must have laid a chicken egg. Understand? I know this can mean different things when used in different contexts, but what is there outside of our universe? Is the universe infinite? Or is there an infinite amount of universes? Or is there an infinite amount of infinite universes? I'm going to shut up now because i'm starting to confuse myself

if there's one universe, why not more?

Welcome, Anomaly!

Yes, why not, indeed. The theory of the multiverse is very much alive in cosmology. Britain's Astronomer Royal Martin Rees has written about this in his book "Before the Beginning - Our Universe and Others". It's a great idea (but hardly provable).

RE:What exists outside our universe?

The multiverse idea, chaos fractals, and the holographic hypothesis are all attempts at explaining that there can be "no-thing" outside our universe, and that the term universe is as outdated as thinking that Heaven lay outside our solar system, it is merely a convenient term used to describe our localized perception of phenomena.

Beyond the event horizon could lay naked singularities which collapse when the possibility that light will reach that point , in potential space time , and those that remain and dont collapse are there for potential dimensional improvements to our allready traversed universe ...... this potential for more space could be infinate or untill all naked singularitys outside the event horizon are consumed.

I don't think that anyone here can answer your question. Even if the universe is "infinite", it would still have to be contained by something or expand into something. I don't think our feeble little human brains can comprehend anything like this.
