The Universe.
« on: 04 June 2010, 16:36:44 »
Does anyone know just how large it is?.
Is it finite .....or infinite?
Is there just the one universe......or do we have an infinite number joined together by wormholes?.

Einstein.....Stephen Hawking......Edwin Hubble....Carl Sagan and many other great thinkers....have all been unable to give a definitive answer........ :-/ :-/

however... I feel confident that someone here at the OOF.....has a complete and final solution to these searching questions..... after all... we now have more than eight thousand members... ::) ::) ::) ::) ;)

well it's at least 93 billion light years across - thats as far as we can see (the observable universe), so somewhere between 93 billion light years and infinity  :y

by my calculations, of course  ::)

I' am afraid to tell you that your calculations are slightly out by around 50 million light years, this subject has also been debated and researched at great length and cost in the Keswick area by the following well known OOF astronomers; Darth loo Knee, Elite Pete, Bob.Dent, The Boy, Marks DTM Jimbob, Broocie and AA provided the infinity light year gauge astronomers telescope, effectively an aluminium beer can with a 5cm hole cut out the base, wired to the omega range computer which displayed the 143 billion light yrs on the MID display, However, much malt whiskey and beer was drunk on that night so the fugire may vary just a wee bit ::)
