Default Re: OT - Is the universe finite in size?
My favorite has always been the number of atoms in the universe. Recently I have started to see it used as a fact by various periodicals. I think what it was stated to be was something around 10^78 to just under 10^81. I don't even want to know what would cause a person to decide that they could guess at the number of atoms in the universe, because a guess is all it is going to be. A rather wild one at that.
