And his accent is cool tho
Makes very interesting videos imo

Which would take more than 10000 lightyears.
>using lightyears as a measure of time

???????????????

that and only 10k lightyears to the edge of the universe is a gross understatement

I believe in God, and he is supposed to be infinitely powerful. That said, with him having creating the physical universe as we understand it, the limits of the universe are subject to him. If he wanted to, he could develop an infinite amount of "layers" of existence between him and whatever other layer of existence (like how heaven is on a higher plane than the physical universe).

I'm not trying to start a religious fight, but I'm just saying that if you believe in God, "infinity" is subject to him. It could also be said that he's the very personification of infinity.
I am also a christian, but there are some things that do not logically make sense. The idea of "Infinite matter" is insane to fathom, which is why somebody before stated that there is infinite space, but finite matter. I am saying that the idea of eternal life, or basically infinite anything is just a theory, as we cannot really apply it to any physical thing. The observable universe in itself, is just what we can see. There is nothing saying that matter is infinite, as the big bang(which I believe God created) only created so much matter in an infinitely empty space.


Also, here is a bit of a brain teaser:
The Observable Universe is 46 Billion light years in Radius, or a diameter of 92 billion light years. How can this be, if the universe is only said to be 14 Billion years old?

It's not insane at all, assuming the universe is infinite. There's nothing about it that doesn't work.
If there was infinite space and finite matter evenly distributed (Because why wouldn't it be, at least at first?) then the density of matter in the universe would be 0.


No. No it doesn't.
There is little to nothing that is observably "infinite". Infinity in itself is a theory, and nothing that we know or have can demonstrate "infinity". It is incredibly difficult for people to contemplate the idea of "infinity". You can apply infinity to the belief of Afterlife, in which after death, you "live" infinitely. Can you imagine living forever in hell, or heaven, or infinitely reincarnating?
i was joking it was one of those "blockland you're here forever" jokes

The real question is... Do YOU go on forever? :^]

light years are a measurement of distance, not time

bich pls

light years are a measurement of distance, not time
The distance light travels in a year

I think it applies to both but mainly distance.

instead of saying "it would take 1000 light years" you should say "it would take light 1000 years to travel"
