Probably encounter another Universe. If string theory proves correct what would
happen is that you could find yourself on another earth under different
conditions. You could find youself in a Universe where you would not survive
for very long the physical constants that prevail in our Universe would be
different this could cause problems for your chemical and atomic structure.

I really doubt you would meet god. You might meet your true self :-)

I remember a Star Trek Next Generation episode where Riker and a few of
his shipmate where taken from the Enterprise while they were asleep by aliens
who lived in another Universe. What the aliens did was create a pocket of our
Universe in their own while they experimented on our heros.The aliens were
trying to accomplish was a way for them to come into our universe they were a
completely different type of life form based on cyanogen. I did not see what
difficulties that would cause since cyanogen exists in our Universe in huge
amounts. At any rate our heros were tipped off when night after night they were
taken in their sleep through sub space into this other realm and they would
return exhausted with strange night mares even Whorf the klingon was having
problems. Another tip off was a subspace anomoly had develeoped in one of the
ships cargo bays where the aliens were trying to rupture sub space to invade
our own. Of course Geordi and Data saved the day and Universe and thwarted the
plans of the would be invaders by setting up an interferring subspace field to
disrupt the anomoly.

You people really need to get out more and watch more Star Trek. You know
you can purchase the complete DVD's set of STNG only the price of a 31 Nagler.
I have both :-)

I say Sam, a dictionary reference is pretty lame here is some material
to start you thinking a bit.

In this case, the word "universe" is a concept, not subject to
a scientific test. As most folks use this word, it means "everything"
rendering the OP's question meaningless. Could be that the OP is
trolling... are just curious.

Within the universe, we are restricted to our observable horizon
based on the time light has had to travel since the expansion began.

Suggest all readers take advantage of

Well Sam I've been doing the Big Bang scene now since 1968 when the first
real data was first collated and the Steady State theorists still had a hold on
Cosmology. I think I would listen to Brian Greene I have a gut feeling about
Sring theory and that it may have the answers to the really big picture and a
very plausable explanation of the Big Bang other than a Quantum Fluctiation in
space time.

As far as the poster goes if he really is not that idiot min character he
does pose a valed question

Just curious, Dwight (and honestly, I'm not trying to make a point):
Is that gut a physicist's gut, or a layman's gut?
