Universalraum
Universalraum is a term that refers to the totality of existence, encompassing all of space, time, matter, energy, and physical laws. It is the ultimate framework within which all phenomena occur. While often used interchangeably with "universe," Universalraum can sometimes carry a more philosophical or abstract connotation, suggesting a broader or more fundamental concept. In physics, the observable universe is the portion of Universalraum that can be detected from Earth. The full extent of Universalraum, whether finite or infinite, is a subject of ongoing scientific and philosophical inquiry. Theories such as the Big Bang describe the origin and evolution of our specific universe within this larger context. Concepts like multiverses propose the existence of multiple, potentially disconnected, Universalräume. The study of Universalraum involves cosmology, astrophysics, and theoretical physics, seeking to understand its structure, composition, and ultimate fate. Understanding Universalraum is a central goal of science, aiming to answer fundamental questions about our place in existence and the nature of reality itself.
