How big is the known universe then IYO, and just how small would earth be on the earth, if you get my drift, if the earth was the universe.
Size of a football pitch, a football, a tennis ball, grain of sand, pin head, molecule?
I believe there are more stars than grains of sand on the planet, apparently. confused:
Who counted all this?
This should all quite nicely give Nick a 'eadache happy088

Can we use the standard double decker bus as the unit of measurement please?

Fine with me chief.
Could possibly be just the size of a Christmas CAKE with marzipan cloud9: for all I know. Shrugs:

I reckon he's going to come back and suggest it's going to be smaller than an atom. Bet you. ;)
-
Some estimate about 150 billion light years, others infinite. shrugs:
If the universe was the size of the Earth the earth would probably be smaller than a "planck length" (which is a LOT, LOT smaller than an atom.
The Planck length is the scale at which classical ideas about gravity and space-time cease to be valid, and quantum effects dominate. This is the ?quantum of length?, the smallest measurement of length with any meaning.
And roughly equal to 1.6 x 10-35 m or about 10-20 times the size of a proton.

Holy bloody moly! eeek: eeek:
That has sort of answered my question. We're absolutely nothing in comparison then.

noooo:
The Universe is f*****g big.
-
Its more than big...its infinite, and beyond...If it ended at a brick wall for instance, then whats the other side of the wall?
-
noooo:
The Universe is f*****g big.
...and apparently expanding before it starts contracting again apparently?
So. What is it expanding into?
The only thing I can think of that has no ending is a circle, so does that mean the universe is a sort of circle then?
Is yer 'ed 'urtin' yet Nick? lol:

It hurts my head. surrender:

Time, when it is on your hands, is a dangerous occurrence whistle:

Was'at got to do with it ey? confused:
Wimmin. Always have to stick the oar in with some random cryptic statement. ::)
-
Hardly feckin cryptic noooo:
As for interfering.....it is the only job I am qualified to do whistle:
-
The universe is so mahoosively mahoosive that all women's bums would look tiny in it. That's how big it is eeek:
-
Hardly feckin cryptic noooo:
Well it might as well have been for all the relevant sense it made to me you daft trout. ::)

Puts things even more into perspective like.
So the Earth is even tinier than one of those planc measurement things compared to and pretending the universe is the size of the earth?
That is too mindblowing to even begin to imagine in your own 'ed like!
I mean, how many of those plank things could actually span the earth in a straight line even once?

I rather like the image at the end of 'Men in Black' where the baddies are after a universe the size of a marble. The last shot is of the earth with the camera panning back & back to reveal that our unverse is also in a marble.
-
I like that. happy088
ad infinitum so to speak.
