The Universe is Pretty Big
Psiolent writes "According to a recent article on Space.com, the universe is pretty big (156 billion light years across, to be more precise). Some recent research examining 'primordial radiation imprinted on the cosmos' has led to this conclusion, as well as a few others. This finding is particularly interesting considering the universe is only 13.7 billion years old (which would mean the universe has been expanding faster than light travels), but the article does a good job addressing this seeming paradox."
an atom is very small. More on this story at ten.

This is America, damnit. Speak Spanish!
No, officer, I wasn't actually going 90 miles an hour. It just seems like it because the spot in the road where I was a minute ago is a mile and a half away now.
