- Big. Yes, BIG. No, really REALLY BIG! How Large Is The Entire, Unobservable Universe? Observations from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and the Planck satellite are where we get the best data. They tell us that if the Universe does curve back in on itself and close, the part we can see is so indistinguishable from “uncurved” that it must be at least 250 times the radius of the observable part. This means the unobservable Universe, assuming there’s no topological weirdness, must be at least 23 trillion light years in diameter, and contain a volume of space that’s over 15 million times as large as the volume we can observe. If we’re willing to speculate, however, we can argue quite compellingly that the unobservable Universe should be significantly even bigger than that.

The rest of the universe may not even be “there” anymore, since we see light that began its journey millions-billions-trillions years ago.
And outside the borders of the Universe or Polyverse is ? Do we need a wall so that Noneness doesn’t leak in? Do we exist in Noneness as Dumbness? If so, how would we know?
universe is so passe try multiverse
The universe is not an island in a sea nothingness. The universe is all there is, and is therefore, by definition, infinite in size, with an infinite number of galaxies, with each galaxy containing a black hole at its center containing an infinite number of galaxies each containing a black hole and so forth without end, and all contained in a space the size of a notional electron. What our telescopes show us is not what is. All is illusion with reality not only unobservable but unknowable.

Linear concepts cannot include a boundless anything, so which are we to dispose of? The linear thinking or the boundless?
You know what is neat about the “Law of Large Numbers”? It is that anything that CAN occur, WILL occur, and not only that, it will occur a shitload of times! But the Law of Really Mind-bogglingly Huge Fucking Numbers is even cooler: anything that can occurs will occur, and it will occur an INFINITE number of times! Well okay, ALMOST an infinite number of times…
I like that. It’s like saying “almost infinite” is pretty damn infinite even if not infinitely infinite.
As our perception of the ∞verse becomes ever-larger, a philosophical and teleological crisis is sneaking up on us. It’s a scale problem. In a ∞verse so wickedly vast beyond all kenning, what the heck are we?
Hence those who just give up and exclaim, “aww, we’re just living in a Matrix”.
How do you make the infinite more so?
