Big Bang unfolded in the blink of an eye
USATODAY.com - Big Bang unfolded in the blink of an eye
Actually .. I seem to recall, the blink of an eye occurs in about 1/90th to 1/200th of a second .. say .. 1/100th for simplicity ... then this would mean that the Universe expanded to billions of light years across .. in .. >>> one-ten-billionth <<< of the blink of an eye ......... ;-) wink wink ...
From the article:
The findings indicate that the universe is vastly larger than the sphere — 13.7 billion light years in radius — that can be observed from Earth.
................
WMAP "is telling us that the universe is vastly bigger than we ever imagined — so big that we no longer have any reason to believe that our tiny patch of it is representative of the whole thing," said Stanford University physicist Leonard Susskind via e-mail.
"We, and all we can see, are at most a tiny dot in an unimaginably large sea of space and time," Susskind said.
