Re: OT - Is the universe finite in size?
Even if the universe is only 70 billion light years across, it will continue to expand. Approximately 66% of the universe is made up of the mysterious "dark energy", an anti-gravitational form of energy that is forcing the universe into a continual and accelerating expansion. When examining the spectral shifts in light from distant galaxies, astronomers find that nearly all are moving away from us at high speed, showing the expansion. Therefore, the universe really has no limits, as it will continually expand before we could hope to hit the edge.
