What is beyond the boundaries of our visible universe?

Thanks Blue Fire!
I think I will just have to book mark WIKI!
But I will definitely resort to confirming the Data with other sources.
And Yes you are so spot on with your evaluation of the Internet!
I have had conversations with others at other sites that I wont mention, in that, if the person were standing in front of me they would wake up next week wondering what had happened! LOL!
I Like it here, nobody seems offensive or takes offense at a lack of knowledge and they are helpful and mean well.

On the other hand,.... here are a couple of links that discuss the shortcomings of Wiki. I just ran across them, and a cursory scan of the articles is making me rethink my earlier kudos of the wiki project.
Wikipedia founder admits to serious quality problems
Wikipedia founder forks Wikipedia
Hmmm... just goes to show there are two sides to every coin, ... or opinion. I haven't used Wiki for much other than science and particularly astronomy, so perhaps I just haven't noticed or appreciated problem areas in the rest of it.

Indeed it's not fullproof, practically nothing but NASA it's self is...

It's smart to background check the sources of the content (found at the bottom of every page) to see where it came from when not about Astronomy/Physics/Cosmology, the scientific community always keeps this in check, and for the most part they are always correct. Because face it, there is no strong support for 90% of the subject matter that gets corrupted on Wiki like APC is.

Dear Dragon Star,
I can give many citing references from scientific articles published in journals like Nature, The Science, Physics Review letter or physics Re view,Monday Notting hum Royal Astronomical society which we collect and regularly go through - [As I have access] and these references will be probably very tough to go through for a person of aged 17 years though you may be with an IQ >150.and more over all research articles published in these journals are under coverage of Copy Right of Authors and Editors of these journals which must be cleared before citing any reference even, as per cpoy right laws of IPR of WIPO copy right act1996 as per our country law amended in 2005 and applicable since2006 january . As Such I always follow copy right laws. More over I am a professor in post graduate and post doctoral level teaching for last 26 years in Medicine( Pathology) and under me at least 5 post doctorate& 8 doctorate passed out from
Calcutta university in medicine(Pathology). It becomes often difficult for me to digest
an article from these journals on physics, chemistry or in Medicine or in theoretical physics. So I prefered very easy references like WIKI and in a most simple way. Many references are old but are still respectable references. As for Eienstien's theory of relativity published in journal Physik is still a reference with highest honoured citing index.[ I hope U understand what is a citing index] Is that not? Similarly Watsons 1/2 page article on DNA in Nature. Similarly Chandrasekhar's Article published in Nature.There are so many examples . HOwever If U like that, I shall quote references in future from the articles published in these respectable journals I shall not mind- if U can digest even a stanza there. Please note that most of Nobel Prize in Physics/chemistry/ Medicine are selected from published articles there. Publication of an original research article in these jpurnals is a life time achievement of a very high grade research scholar in any stream of science. Do U have any? I have one in Nature

Thanks for the compliment, but no, I push around 136 as of about 8 months ago. But I can read and understand Hamlet, so I think I could manage.

There is no requirement for citing bunches of pages, just give a site just so you, as you say, don't break copy rights.
