scale of the universe

Infinite may be hard to model!

Thanks for posting. Recent research has indicated that the Universe is expanding. Even traveling at the speed of light - 186,000 miles a second - it definitely would be a lengthly exploration. Infinity? Yes, definitely.

If the Universe is expanding, what is it expanding into?

If the Universe is NOT expanding, does that mean the Universe is contained? If so, what contains the Universe?

These questions make my head hurt.

I'm not going to worry about it until it starts shrinking.

I didn't see Warren Buffet's wallet in there.

According to Forbes (The World's Billionaires List - Forbes), he's worth $44 billion. What does a $billion look like? According to What does one TRILLION dollars look like?, it looks like 10 pallets of $100 bill packets. So, imagine 440 pallets of $100 bill packets.

We'd call that a Michigan bank roll. :laughing:

Thanks for posting the universe link. I have been through just about every item on there at length. Pondered a few, laughed at a few and just in awe at the complexity of the creation God made. I couldn;t help but think how tiny man is in comparison to the many other things around and yet he says he even knew me before birth and knows even how many hairs are on my head. Again... I am in awe.

I wish I had a few pallets of $100 bills at my place so I could move them around with my tractor.

Moving pallets of money would be much more fun than moving cubes of bricks..... :laughing::laughing::laughing:

scale of the universe /QUOTE]

Add to the word "infinite" the word "scale" and consider "Relative To What". Small--large???

I'm not a greedy individual -- I would settle for just one pallet ($100 million).
