yes I do. take time to consider that, too.

btw, have you considered what happens at the 'edge' of a finite universe?
also, have you considered what "point particle" means?

ahhh just scared myself thinking about that.
then I thought of futurama and realized there'd obviously be a parallel universe there, duh.

Physics can not tell anything about the size of the unseen universe at the moment (probably never ever will). Additionally, a finite universe doesn't have to have edges

WARNING: this size of the subatomic particles is bull shit. they are considered point particles. also, the unseen universe is considered infinite. (lol-"we are probably not in the center")

Ya i laughed at that too hehe

the universe is probably a million times bigger than this, we can see far - but who knows, maybe it's just 0.00001% of everything.

Nice thingamajig, and a good job on the sound effects, notably when you reach either end. But there's a few misconceptions in there, the most glaring one being the size of the observable universe: the universe is ~13,75 Gyears old, but even though nothing can travel faster than light (locally), we know that the observable universe, due to the expansion of space itself, is far wider than merely ~13,75 GLY in one direction. The absolutely last limit to anything we can "see" (as it includes all detectable specters, not only visible light) lies around 46 billion light years in any direction. Hence, what the video presents as the "estimated size of the universe" is actually the observable universe. This renders the 14GLY sphere, second biggest in the graphic, irrelevant.

I'd recommend this relevant interesting read about the WMAP project, which has quite literally taken a picture of the walls of the observable universe: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WMAP

cant be, if it expanded at the speed of light since the big bang.

Well, the fabric of the universe is inflating faster than light between any two points, when the distance between them is large enough. In fact, there are countless galaxies that are indeed moving away from us faster than light, and which we won't be able to see at all at a certain point on the future. There's a good article on this at http://curious.astro.cornell.edu/question.php?number=575.

Or so we currently conceive.

These things are always interesting to read about but actually thinking makes my mind fart itself.

Hey, no one actually knows how big or if it expands or inflates yet.

But its pretty big yo.

You're doing it wrong...

But yeah, I've had this in my favorites for a while. I think it's pretty amazing, every once in a while I go check it out to have my mind = blown.
