ABSTRACT: This work discusses a philosophical-scientific question about the fate of the universe and the limitations of modern cosmology to predict what happens after a possible collapse of the universe. It explores the hypothesis that, if the universe truly collapsed, there would be spacetime left that would continue to expand into the unknown. However, the question arises how to prove this based on the scientific tools and knowledge we have today, indicating that current science may not yet fully understand the constitution of the cosmos, especially what is “beyond” the visible and visible universe such as matter dark. The scientific and philosophical reflection in question raises the possibility that, in this beyond-cosmos, there may exist a new form of matter or a “void” that challenges current material understanding, and questions whether this unknown matter could give rise to a new conception of reality, a kind of fusion that would generate something unprecedented and incomprehensible. This clash between the known universe and the beyond could even result in a new “Big Bang” or the creation of a new universe, or even a timeless or a-spatial state, with no link to the physical laws we know. Finally, The text asks how it would be possible to investigate these possibilities with our limited methods and points out that major advances in technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and the Metaverse may be necessary to confront and validate these theories. In short, the author invites reflection on the future of science and the nature of the universe, questioning whether a deep understanding of the cosmos is possible with current science.
