NO POLITICS. NO TROLLING.

IMO it's bigger than we can possibly see or hear, even with optical and radio-telescopes, and so whether or not it is infinite will remain a question. For all we know, what we DO know, could be less than a mere microbe in the universe that we do know, and even the galaxy of which our solar system is a tiny part is nothing but a dot on a slide for a microscope being observed by a living creature that is greater or more different than even our imaginations could possibly comprehend. Am I saying we are insignificant as being of importance in the universe? You're damn right I am.
Apologies for the video Buzz. I did look for it on other platforms but couldn't find it.
Part of the argument... We can "see" roughly 13.8 billion years/light years in every direction. Now let's say there is someone at the very edge of that 13.8 billion light years. What do they see? Logically, they would be able to see 13.8 billion years in every direction as well. Wash, rinse repeat.
You can ask the question, and maybe your guess of an answer is as much of a possibility as a countless number of others - it's the infinite number of monkeys typing on an infinite number of typewriters - one will come up with YOUR answer.
I juat re-read my reply to you and want to make it clear that I meant no insult. My theory is just as vulnerable to the monkeys as yours is.
Very cool video and it's certainly bigger than a bread box.
I am glad you enjoyed it.
It's estimated that the whole universe is approximately 93 billion light years in diameter. That's a big universe.
any way you look at it, that's a hell of a commute from the suburbs...
At least there isnt much traffic to deal with.
And what lies beyond those measly 93 billion light years?
Beyond? Whoa, mind blown
I don't know, but the dress it is wearing makes it look really fat.
I will not make any black hole jokes, I will not make any black hole jokes...
I belong to this Face Book page called MUFON Global and they were discussing if the universe is sentient
If it is, it is a sociopath.
I don't care how big it is. it still isn't big enough to share with any fucking trumpster and thumper vermin...
Theyre in their own universe.
Sorry I didn't get back to this article, I was in the hospital for the last 3 days. All good, I live on.
hope things go well for you
Thank you.
I hope you're feeling better Frost.
Better today. Still really sore but better day by day. Good thing too, my lawn is in dire need of a haircut.
