Sometimes i'm at my parents house,smoking a spliff in a pitch black clear night on the hill behind their house,i imagine myself travelling earth to infinity just like this movie..more people should be interested in space and things other than cars ,sports and cash..not that i don't enjoy the previous 3 i mentioned,but there is so much more to life than earth by itsself.

Well, it still sounds a little fishy to me, but thank you for explaining it so well.

Matter cannot travel faster than the speed of light within its own frame of reference, but universe itself can expand faster than the speed of light. And since the universe is expanding faster than the speed of light, faraway objects can be receding from us at or faster than c while remaining stationary within their own reference frame. All current observations show that the observable universe is at least 93 billion light years across. The whole universe may be larger or even smaller than this.

True. There is no guarantee that matter can't travel faster than light, but much of modern physics hinges on that theory. If we were to discover otherwise, it would be a monumental discovery.

hello friendu dont know for sure that matter cannot fly faster then light. especilly not when such an amount of energy burst the matter. so be a thinking person

I saw this clip in a video I saw in my chemistry class last year. Amazing how truly insignificant we are.

mytruepower2 (August 17, 2008 at 12:24 pm)

Yes. It does. Think about it. Supposing that the universe did start at one central point, and expanded from there. Even if it expanded at the speed of light (which matter can't do) it could only reach a maximum size of 27.4 billion light years across in 13.7 billion years. In order to reach 93 billion light years across from a single point, the universe would need to be AT LEAST 46.5 billion years old, and it's probably much older since matter CAN'T travel at light speed.

No it doesn't.
