<DIV>Now you mention it, I think the universe has to have some kind of edge. I
wrote something speculative about it <A
title=http://bogpaper.com/science-sundays-with-john-duffield-edge-of-the-universe/
href="http://bogpaper.com/science-sundays-with-john-duffield-edge-of-the-universe/">here</A>.
WMAP says the universe is flat, <A href="http://arxiv.org/abs/1303.5086">Planck
has found no evidence of any curvature or any toroidal topology</A> , and IMHO
an infinite universe can not be an expanding universe, because then the
energy-pressure would be counterbalanced at all locations. If it isn’t curved
round on itself and if it doesn’t go on forever, there’s not a lot of options
left: it has to have some kind of edge. Such that there is no space beyond this
edge, there <EM>is</EM> no beyond it. As for what it’s like, I don’t know. Maybe
the universe is some kind of hall-of-mirrors thing, like mentioned <A
title=http://www.cnn.com/2004/TECH/space/05/24/universe.wide/
href="http://www.cnn.com/2004/TECH/space/05/24/universe.wide/">here</A>. Maybe
there’s some kind of event horizon, maybe it’s none of the above, I don’t know.
But what I do know is this: cosmologists use the surface of a sphere as an
example of something without an edge, even though there is no evidence
whatsoever of any higher dimensionality. It occurs to me that they’re like the
old flat-Earth guys in reverse. It is alleged that in ancient times people could
not conceive of a world without an edge. Nowadays cosmologists can not conceive
of a world <EM>with</EM> an edge. </DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black">What I am saying however, is that
emission of a photon, may not be dependent on there being a pre-identified
absorber. But rather, that if the local field conditions of the emitter allow
emission in a specific direction, then a photon could be emitted. The local
field herein would be defined as the area around the emitter wherein the fields
from absorbers are still strong enough to be even slightly sensed by the
emitter.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black"><o:p></o:p></SPAN> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black">Since we do not yet know if there
is an “edge” to the universe (meaning an “edge” of space-time), nor do we know
the nature of such an “edge” should it exist. It may not add clarity to our
perceptions to try to contemplate the possible actions of photons in that
location. But my feeling is that, if we envision an edge exists, the void beyond
would present no fields to an adjacent particle sufficiently close to that edge,
and therefore no condition for emission would be
presented.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black"><o:p></o:p></SPAN> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black">What I am having some trouble
digesting is the concept that, regardless of distance or time, an emitter and
absorber are pre-identified prior to photon “exchange”. I understand the
concept, but the implications do not seem to be a description of our universe.

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black"><o:p></o:p></SPAN> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black">For, if every photon in flight, at

<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal>I request you add the following question to your thinking and
see how it fits in. Consider matter at the "edge" of the universe (by that i
mean that there is no matter beyond and make that explicit assumption). Is that
matter allowed/able to emit photons in any direction regardless of whether they
are ever absorbed?<o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal>IMHO they cannot do this. Similarly for long distance photons
I don't see the issue. It just reduces the likelyhood of interaction.

it solves. While the “one point in spacetime” approach, may in fact turn out
to be the actual nature of physics, I feel it is required to look for other
