I can see forever....
Or at least up to 900 Yottameters.

Why does the last picture, the entire universe ball, have shine and shadow on it?
It implies there's a light source outside of the universe or something.

I can't grasp the consept of there being a "edge" in the universe, or that there is no "edge" to
the universe. O_o
It CAN'T really be endless?
And yet again, it CAN'T really have "edges" either?

The "edge" is arbitrary. One idea is that there's a point where there's an absence of matter and
energy, an advancing front as the universe expands. Further out than that, complete Void, not
even light, as light must travel... so for it to travel, there must be somewhere to travel to. Of
course, since no one's been there, who's to say light is not traveling out there, but has struck
something, and is on its return trip, 94 fucktonovabazillionmeters back this way for our eyes (or
our telescopes) to see what lies beyond...
goddamn... touched by Carl Sagan's ghost here.

this always makes me feel so much like a grain of sand compared to everything. Although
compairing a human to everything is allot smaller than a grain of sand.
And the fact that they think nothing can be smaller than a planck length just because it makes no
physical sense? Awesome.

I have really enjoyed this one since the first time I found it.
However, the stuff at the largest scale is quite a bit misleading. It's incorrect to think that
there is one sphere of radius at about 14 giga-lightyears which refers to our observable universe
and another sphere of about 100 giga-lightyears which is the estimated size of the universe.
Ignoring the error that the radius of the first should be 14 giga-lightyear while the radius of
the second should be about 50, the real problem is that these are the SAME thing! The error is
considering that the smaller sphere represents how far "out" and "back" we can see. It doesn't.
The larger sphere does.
We have absolutely no way of "estimating" what's beyond this although we seem to have (somewhat
debated) evidence that there likely is stuff beyond this. This "estimate" isn't the size of the
total universe. It's the estimate of the observable universe.

Well.

Coming up with terms like "Yoctometer"
Awesome flash though.

Some of this information is flawed.
>> [_] Anonymous 10/28/10(Thu)16:59 No.1404643
I agree that some of the information is wrong, but on the other hand the pictures still show you
in a visual how tiny we are compared to the universe we live in.
I still have faith in the human race as to spread amongst the stars. There is still that slight
chance that something will reach us before we reach out.
