For all of you, who really want to know more about this stuff, read
"Stephen Hawking - A brief history of time"
Best source for "noob" information and explained very easily.

I had an interesting thought. What if the event horizone of a blakc hole was a waypoint for material to create a new universe on an omniversal level. Say that several black holes are linked together and pull matter into a quantum singularity. This singualarity builds up until enough pressure and heat build up that it implodes. There another Big bang another universe.

The problem with the Goldilock zone thing is that it can be observed that life can exist in a wide variety of situations. By looking at life that exists in the most extreme places on Earth we can see that life isn't limited to a perfectly "human homeostasis" environment. As much as life is varied on Earth it may have the same variety in the conditions it can exist under. Why would one think that life could not exist under extreme gravity? Would not there structure by developed for that type of environment? Why does life need water? Surely life in other systems may consist of different base elements, other than carbon, perhaps silicon. The Goldilock zone is only worth looking for if we want to land Humans on the planet or find perhaps Earth like life. Though I say, why not look for the extra ordinary? Why not broaden our horizons on the view of life? All we know about life is based on one tiny planet in a universe of a possible googol or even googolplex of celestial bodies. Do not limit yourselves Earthlings. Accept you are little and accept there is more.

Get the audio book if you cant handle text.

The universe is finite and expanding. But there is nothing "outside" the universe - as without the universe (space-time) there cant be anything.

Do we know (obviously not exactly, I'm looking for an estimate) how fast? Speed of light? As fast as the big bang exploded? I'm picturing a balloon that someone is filling up. Anybody else see this?

It's not at the speed of light, well the planets and all that aren't. The universe's boundary, however, might be expanding at the speed of light, as little photons of light travel onwards, where no photon has gone before.

We will never see the end of the universe. Its already x*c ahead of us, where x is the amount of seconds since the universe began. Since in our wildest dreams we can only travel at c, it's impossible without some form of wormhole, which is absurd. Unless the universe is spherical, where there is no end of the universe.

And whose to say there isn't spacetime everywhere? Just spacetime that has never had any matter or particles in it whatsoever?

ahem If im not mistaken, which i probably am, that is the rate of expansion. Yeah, kinda a balloon, but in 4 dimensions, with no "outside".

The only thing we know for sure right now is that is is getting faster as it expands. The fate of the universe is of course not known. It's a battle of two opposing forces, gravity should slow the expansion. We could end back up at the Big Bang .

who's to say there isn't another universe beyond ours?

I'm not sure if it's endless, but for all practical purposes, it doesn't matter anyway. There's no way we'll be able to make it to the outer reaches of space. Maybe sometime in the distant future, but I highly doubt we'll see any sort of manned deep space flight (and for generations to come).

I do think that there has to be life elsewhere, by statistics alone.
