What Comes After Space?

Looking at a clear night sky you witness the vastness of space, which holds everything humans know to exist. To find out what 31  beyond a good place to start is to determine where the  universe ends However, the problem is that scientist are uncertain about where space ends or whether it ends at all.

The  32    universe

The furthest humans can see out into space, using all the technology currently available to us, is  46 billion light years (alight year is the distance that light can travel in one year, and is equivalent to about 9. 5 million million kilometres). The 33  of space that humans can see is called the  visible universe. Beyond this, it remains a mystery whether it' s an expanse of more galaxies and stars or possibly the edge of the universe. Some think that the universe is  34  , meaning space goes on forever in every direction. In this case, there is nothing after space, because space is everything.

Moving further away

Experts have captured images of the entire Earth from space, and some astronauts have personally witnessed its beauty from orbit. Perhaps 35  the limits of the universe would also be possible  too, if only humans knew where to go to look for it.

Another challenge is the universe' s rapid  36   . As galaxies move further away their light  takes longer to reach us. Eventually, some galaxies may be so distant that their light never  37  . This might imply that any edge— and whatever is on the other side  — is increasingly    38   

itself from us. Regardless of these uncertainties, scientists still spend a lot of time thinking about

what comes after space.

Many universes?

It' s possible that there isn’t just one universe, and that our universe is just one small part of a "multiverse". Perhaps our universe is   39    within its own distinct region of space, separated    from others by vast expanses of nothingness. Or maybe  40  universes exist, pressed tightly   against each other. Getting an idea of the universe' s true shape may help astronomers find out whether it has an edge. What comes after that could be an even great mystery.

How Digital Modeling Plays a Key Role in Restoring the Notre Dame Cathedral (巴黎圣母院)

It’s been more than four years since a fire damaged Notre Dame, the Catholic cathedral in Paris that’s historically drawn millions of visitors every year.

Since then, people from around the world have united to support an effort,   31   by French President, that’s intended to have the building back open to the public by the end of next year. Teams working to restore the Gothic cathedral have   32   to rebuild much of the damaged sections using materials like oak wood (橡木) and stone that have stood the test of centuries.

But the builders, architects and engineers do have the   33   of some 21st century technologies, including modern building information modeling (BIM) software that enables them to work with a(n)   34   detailed 3D digital model of the cathedral and surrounding site, backed by powerful cloud computing technology.

“It allows you to really understand a lot of how a building fits together, how it’s constructed,” says Andrew Anagnost, CEO of design software   35   Autodesk. It has contributed technical

consulting, software and financial assistance to the project since shortly after the fire. A digital model, which took more than a year to create, includes more than 12,000 objects.

It was a complex process. Onsite workers captured the point-by-point 3D   36   of the cathedral with laser (激光) and photo equipment. Then, others turned the data points from that process into detailed shapes and objects, down to individual building stones. That let experts see how the building shifted in the fire — important for   37   any stability issues — and plan out the process of reconstruction.

“It’s like Mission: Impossible when they plan,” says Nicolas Mangon, VP of architecture, engineering and construction industry strategy at Autodesk. “Every little piece is done   38  , and with the 3D model you can simulate (模拟) everything.”

Even when the cathedral is   39  , the model may still serve important roles. Mangon says the company is currently in discussions about using it to manage aspects of the complex going forward,   40   using sensors that could show the exact location of any future fires.

Unlocking The Vatican MuseumsGianni Crea has, almost every morning for the past decade, unlocked the doors to the Vatican Museums. He has seen the splendor of the Sistine Chapel and admired the textures of ancient Egypt. “Yes, I’m a key keeper. But the doors I open are the ones to the history of art, and it’s here that exists the biggest and most beautiful history in the world,” says Crea.

The Vatican Museums have    31    collections since the 15th century, including tens of thousands of artworks and artifacts spanning prehistory to modern times. The most    32    one of them, according to Crea, is Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel. He recalls being    33    with
