Subject: Exactly how big is the universe?

It goes solar system (what pluto is a part of). Galaxy (what our solar system is a part of). Universe. A solar system is a star with planets orbiting it. A galaxy is a cluster stars in one area. A universe is a bunch of Galaxies spread out.

There might not be a "beyond" the universe. The universe could be never ending and infinite. But if it is NOT. Then there are likely other dimensions the 5th dimension and so on. If there are multiple dimensions who knows what is them? The possibilities are rather endless. I mean you could essentially have another Universe with different laws of physics. The other side of the universe could essentially be "heaven". Who knows what it is or if it even is (exists).

Now consider this one light year is about 5.9 trillion miles long! our Milky Way galaxy is about 100 thousand light years wide and 1000 light years deep! That's just ONE galaxy! To give you an idea of the size if you were to travel the speed of the Helios probe (the fastest man made probe) which I believe traveled about 150 thousand miles an hour. It would take you 4400 years to travel ONE light year.

Can you grasp how big the Universe is now? The universe that we can see is about 13.7 billion light years so to put that into miles multiple 13.7 billion light years times 5.7 trillion miles.

But beyond our Solar system are other stars some of those stars are bigger then our own there are even black holes clouds of gas (nebula) and so on. Some stars even have planets and solar systems which have the possibility of having planets like earth! Consider this there are I believe an estimated 300 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy! There are an estimated 500 billion Galaxies! If that doesn't give you a rather endless list of possibilities I don't know what would.

So, you want to hear a story eh? One about treasure hunters? Have I got a story for you!

Worst TL:DR ever.

Dude nobody cares enough to read your Great Wall of China lookin ass post.

How about you simplify it because ain't nobody got time fo dat.

Get back to the ghetto then. You wanna learn about the universe? Read.

I would love to be around when the day people can traverse other galaxies and other parts of the universe. It would be interesting to find other earth-like worlds out there.

Ok, so you created a thread to tell us a fact that already exists?

There is no discussion value in this thread, if you are stating facts, then all we can do is agree and there is no room for discussion.

Cool. I belive that theire is a center in the universe that teleports you to another dimension... Wierd I know but that is what I think.

Friends before pixels.

You obviously don't grasp the idea of a dimension.

In our universe, there are 3 spacial dimensions and one time dimension. There can't be a fifth or sixth dimension in our space, because we are three-dimensional. There is a reason why we can't picture a four dimensional object.

Think of it as a graph.

X axis and Y axis. This is two dimensional.

Assuming you've taken geometry, you know what 3 dimensions looks like: Z axis, Y axis, X axis, with the X coming toward you.

Now, all of those are perpendicular in a three dimensional world. Now, find me a way that we can have four, equally perpendicular lines that intersect at one point and one point only.

The essence of the dimension is why there is no "outside" of the universe, or at least one that we can sense or depict. The "observable" universe is smaller than the actual universe.

The universe is so vast, that light hasn't had time to reach the no-edge. And, the universe expands constantly. Some hypothesize that it expands faster than the speed of light, therefore, making it impossible for us to reach the no-edge and making it impossible to see what is "outside" the no-edge.

OP last I heard was an estimation of 125 billion galaxies. I don't know where your 500 billion came from.

Also the 14 billion light year size is only accounting for the visible universe, and it has been theorized that the universe may be much, much bigger, but the distances are so great that more distant regions simply cannot and may never be visible from Earth due to the limited speed of light.

I didn't read.

Go back to your worthless neckbeard life now fa/ggot. Seriously you have no life. I'm currently wasting time in my Engineering class which I am passing with 95 percent and will make 3 times as much money as you, and you are just sitting there on your computer making useless threads. You are not making anybody's life worse other than yourself. I'm laughing at you right now about how pitiful and worthless your existence and contribution to society is.

Awww you sound so butthurt and mad. Focus on your studies instead of being a keyboard warrior. (Unless you took engineering class for being a keyboard warrior)

TL;DR.

I'm a 21 year old Police Officer working in Canada, Ontario making 55k/year with full benefits. U mad? I finished a 12 hour shift last night. It's 11:51 AM where I live. I'm just at home right now .

This is a topic-discussion forum and maybe I might have some points wrong. But that's where the discussion comes in. STFU and stop -blam!-ingitching.

Humans are unable to truly grasp the scale of the universe in that manner, or any other, for that matter. The universe is massive. So unfathomably large that there is no way for a person to accurately gauge the size of it. ESPECIALLY since the observable universe is not the entire universe. Also especially because the universe is not 100% mapped out and understood. Sure, we have a lot of stars mapped out, but not everything everywhere is known.
