"....apparently.
The furthest observable object (a galaxy) in space has been detected at 134 nonillion kilometres. Or 13.4 billion light years. That's 134 followed by 30 zeros!!  "
I’m slightly disappointed by this. I was hoping for infinity and beyond  |

"Was there a restaurant there? 
If there is do you think Disaster Area will be playing? 
Hahaha! Forgot about that "
Damn, one of the few bands I've yet to see!  |

Well it will be infinity. Because what's after the edge? X |

Just because the universe is 13.8 billion years old doesn't mean it is 13.8 billion light years in diameter, it is infact believed to be closer to 93 billion light years across because it is growing exponentially, this means that in the not 'too distant' future the observable universe will only be that of our own galaxy, but that will be long after our own yellow dwarf star expires so no need to worry |

Whenever life gets you down, Mrs.Brown
And things seem hard or tough
And people are stupid, obnoxious or daft
And you feel that you've had quite enough
Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned
A sun that is the source of all our power
The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
Are moving at a million miles a day
In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour
Of the galaxy we call the 'milky way'
Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars
It's a hundred thousand light years side to side
It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick
But out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide
We're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point
We go 'round every two hundred million years
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding universe
The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whizz
As fast as it can go, the speed of light, you know
Twelve million miles a minute and that's the fastest speed there is
So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure
How amazingly unlikely is your birth
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space
'Cause it's bugger all down here on Earth

The universe is like a russian doll, what is beyond that finding.
