Scale of the Universe

I still don't understand how they can measure the outside universe when they only have an estimate of what the speed of light was right after the Big Bang. Plus, what's outside that?
Supposedly the universe expanded at a much faster rate than speed of light during the big bang because the fabric of space itself is expanding. So even if something has no kinetic energy it is still moving relative to its surroundings because of the stretching of spacetime.

Wow, I had no idea the moon and the US were about the same size! Road trip, anyone? EDIT: And again I'm surprised... they are really far apart.

Nice...yoctometer who would have thought?

True, but if other big bangs occurred outside our universe, and they have different light speeds and strengths, then maybe the universe is infinite and size is just an illusion dependent on light/sight. I wonder if the distance between protons and neutrons or quarks is constant before and after the big bank? In which case, we need another unit of measurement that is not dependent on the speed of light. Of course, it will take an order of magnitude longer to measure distances using such a tiny scale.

Yeah, that startled me for a second.

An even greater question is how something can exist at all.

What ever you want, possibly this is where all the gods live. As light, our primary sense and the best long range tool we have has not traveled that far (ignoring the variable speed thing) then what is out there can only be subject of speculation. Such speculation is a total waste of time, like day dreaming and other non productive but enjoyable pastimes.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity RAH

Never mind that - there's a 7 metre long earth worm??!

Best not to think about it. That's why I believe in God. Although, to quote BSG: "To know the face of God is to know madness."
