Okay, well, see, if I had a tube, right? And if I were to fit the universe inside the tube, okay, well what I like to tell my students is, well I don't have any students any more, see, I retired, well actually I got fired, sorry for lying, umm, what was I, oh yeah, the tube, well, it would have to be a pretty big tube, roughly twice the length of the universe.

if our universe is as homogeneous as many think (and I don't just speak of the FLRW guys) then it is really really large. Yes, really really large is a scientifically accepted term, it is roughly 10^14*really large.

So what's at the edge of the universe then?

>> No.8624701

It's as big as the total amount of area you have covered in your life. If you haven't been there then you have no proof it even exists Q.E.D.

the universe is so large that the light emitted from one corner at any given moment will take a very long time to reach the other side.
