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."

    What kind of lunkheads are modding posts like the two above as redundant.

    A, one wonders, redundant of what? And, B, it's called wit - you lunkheads.

    Lighten up. (cf. Light, speed of. Am too on-subject.)



    Fine. Just give me my minus one and move along.
