If the universe is defined as everything then of course anything which is not part of everything is outside the universe. Everwill 13:57, 16 April 2007 (EDT)
- The phrase "being outside the universe" is an oxymoron. The universe contains all of space. You can't be outside of something which contains every point that exists. It's a nonsensical idea. It's like "whiter than white". Good poetry, bad logic. --Pacman 14:05, 16 April 2007 (EDT)
- I guess that was my point. It's just semantics and not a real question or a real answer. Everwill 11:16, 17 April 2007 (EDT)
