THE CONCEPT OF THE UNIVERSE

 THE CONCEPT OF THE UNIVERSE -

You cannot point to the universe i.e. talk about it. This is because you can talk about something only when you can distinguish it from its surroundings i.e. from others. You cannot do that with regard to the universe, since the universe is everything. Now we have a contradiction - we cannot talk about the universe and we have the statement that says 'the universe is everything'. This only means that the definition (that 'the universe is everything' OR 'all that there is') is invalid.

Conclusion - The universe is not everything. Maybe it has another definition. If NOT, the concept is ill-defined and does not exist (the universe doesn't exist).
