Do you know that the Universe is only 157 billion light years across?!
Question: I saw it on a History Channel program. It's surprising to me that the Universe isn't bigger than that! I mean c'mon! How can you measure the WHOLE Universe?!

no it isn't. it's larger than that. do you know the speed of light is 186,282.397 miles per second? And that the advancing of light is expanding the universe in all directions from the central point of inital 'explosion' or incident, as we speak?
so, add the amount of time elapsed from when you viewed the programme until now. Better yet, research when the programme went into production then post production, then when it first aired on cable. Go back further to when the script was written then or when the writer first did the research that he discovered that estimate. Then, add the amount of time from when the research was done/script written until the programme first aired on cable. write that number down. Then figure out the elapsed time from when the show first aired to when you viewed the re-run. Write that number down.
Then figure out the elapsed time from when you saw the programme until you asked the Q (or until this answer). Then write that number down. Then figure out the elapsed time from when you read this answer until you did all of that other bulljive of reseaching the information and writing all of it down, and write that number down.
Add up all of the numbers. Then figure out how far light travelled in the elapsed time frame of you doing all of that business of writing down numbers and ad nauseum. (i.e, light travels at a speed of 186,282.397 miles per second; so in example if it was 60 seconds, 60 x 182,282.397. and that would be a light-minute lol). THEN add that new figure to the 157 billion light years across estimate and you will have a more accurate picture of how big the universe is.
LmAo.
A light year is the distance that light travels in one year (365 days). 157 billion light years is an estimate, as i'm sure you realise, updating the numbers every second (or every 186,282.397 miles) would be way too time consuming... as well as a tad bit on the ridiculous and crazy side. LmAo.
But it's cool though isn't it? And i think 157 billion light years is pretty big, all things considered.
:P
?
cool...thanks
True. People are silly and I agree with your point
o'rly?
I switch out of my Astrology class and didn't expect what you said.
heh i guess it's possible
What's at the end of it?
yeah....pretty darn big
That's weird. What does the ending look like? Is it like on video games where just you get to a wall and that's it? lol
Wow, that's amazing! I wonder if they measure it with a ruler or a yard stick...
I love your name by the way.. it made me laugh (out loud).
lol
This is inaccurate. No one has any idea how big the universe is.
Yes,i checked it out in Viz.
Yes, it is an ever-expanding / contracting universe ensuing from the big bang. Theorists say it has contracted down to pinhead size and exploded maybe hundreds or even infinite times.
They have "measured" the size of our universe using calculations derived from observed time rates of this expansion.
And outside our little (currently expanding) universe is a numberless count of universi doing the very same thing.
Mind boggling, hmm!
