The unseen universe is the place located beyond the boundaries of the observable universe which is perhaps even larger but cannot be perceived due to most severe limitations of light and time. It potentially stretches ad infinitum with an infinite number of galaxies which are the carbon copy of the region we inhabit, or if the universe is an orbit that wraps around its itself then it could be infinite yet have an edge. The universe is ever expanding due to an outer force, dark energy, and as space expands it carries along with it galaxies which move farther away from one another faster than the speed of light. This expansion serves a double purpose as it cuts off the extreme regions of the universe but also completely guarantees that they would remain inaccessible to us. What lies out there could very well be an entire universe comprised of galaxies, stars and different physical forces that could be incomprehensible to mankind.

If all we can see is the “Observable” universe to about 13.8 B.yrs back and there’s maybe more universe that we cannot see maybe the universe is a helluva lot older and we’re just aging what we can see?

Our universe is just one of millions of universes and also that theory almost some logical explanations about it
