Well, this will negatively affect real estate prices.
On the other hand, how could there be an infinite universe?
Either way, I get dizzy just thinking about it.
Age of universe = 13.75 years
Photons have traveled = 45 billion light years
Speed = Warp 3?
What this means is that there are physical limits to what we can know. Will the insight provided by this article humble our central economic planners? No chance.
Currently, cosmologists believe the Universe takes one of three possible shapes:
* It is flat, like a Euclidean plane, and spatially infinite.
* It is open, or curved like a saddle, and spatially infinite.
* It is closed, or curved like a sphere, and spatially finite.

Correct answer is all three - it just depends on one’s state of mind and which direction one heads out in.
No wonder it’s taking me longer to drive to work each morning.
What about Michelle’s rear end?
Okay... then what would this closed, finite-sized universe be floating in? A petri dish sitting under somebody's microscope?
My vote is that it is spherical with infinite space in all directions.
Well, it is early for me, but for some reason, the Nesting Doll notion popped into my snow blown and frozen mind: one universe inside another universe, inside another universe, etc. ...
None of these are correct.
The Universe is a Mobius strip.

Universe Could be 250 Times Bigger Than What is Observable

To “expand” off that slogan of The Discovery Channel slogan:
“The UNIVERSE is just awesome”
Especially as we learn more and more about it.
How did a non-spherical shape emerge from the big bang?
"It's really, really big."
ARGH!, ......!
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 there's bugger all down here on Earth.

Dammit, just when I figured out the entire universe, they come out with this.
248.6. I measure it yesterday.
