[QUOTE=Neil_McDonalds_dick;39530952]These galaxies are moving further away because the universe is expanding. Theoretically, at its edge the universe is expanding faster than the speed of light. The nearer you get to the edge of the universe the greater is its rate of expansion. Nothing else can travel faster than the speed of light and nothing else will ever be able to travel faster than the speed of light. The speed of light is 186,282 miles per second. To give an idea of an awesome distance, it would take light, travelling at the speed of light, 105,700 years to travel across the diameter of our Milky Way galaxy, which is one of at least 2 trillion galaxies.

We do not know the size of the universe because the furthest away light that has reached us, travelling at the speed of light, has been travelling for 13.8 billion years, the time of the creation of the universe. We know nothing beyond the distance implied by that.[/Q



THAT is ****ing mental if it's true as we see ourselves as an intelligent species but we are probably just insects compared others out there
