Big.
Slightly smaller than Mary's ego but still big.
Also as much as I approve,I think it's considered racist to call Iranians, "monkeys".
Current diameter is estimated at around 93 B LY.
I'm all for an Iranian space program using rickety-ass communist era rockets and an astronaut corps comprised entirely of ayatollahs and imams. They have the right stuff.
This is a really neat flash app: http://htwins.net/scale2/
EDIT: better link
Way to go Voyager I. Seek knowledge, buddy... :happy:
Thank you for sharing nice app piercerseth
#Bummed that's means there will be no Vine videos.:(
8 half inches ......:whistling
Very Very BIG!!!:cool:
And the Monkeys currently lead the would in executions!! Bad Monkeys!!
If the universe were scaled down to the size of Earth, the Earth would be so small that you couldn't see it with a microscope. So yeah, big would be an understatement.
I don't seem to have nearly enough cupboard space so logic tells me space is smaller than the sum of my cookware.
8 half inches sounds about right
years ago i once pm'd skweeky a photo of my meat rod with her name written on it, true story :smilie4:

Sadly, "skweeky" has fewer letters...
:lol: :pinch:
Space is sooo big that if you chose one direction and travel in that way billions billions years faster than light speed you will end at same place where you start.
We can't tell, really. Like a ship in the empty ocean, astronomers on Earth can turn their telescopes to peer 13.8 billion light-years in every direction, which puts Earth inside of an observable sphere with a radius of 13.8 billion light-years. The word "observable" is key; the sphere limits what scientists can see but not what is there.
But though the sphere appears almost 28 billion light-years in diameter, it is far larger. Scientists know that the universe is expanding. Thus, while scientists might see a spot that lay 13.8 billion light-years from Earth at the time of the Big Bang, the universe has continued to expand over its lifetime. Today, that same spot is 46 billion light-years away, making the diameter of the observable universe a sphere around 92 billion light-years.
Space may not be infinitely big, but it's so big that you would never know the difference. It's so big that anything that could logically exist must exist somewhere.
It's my opinion that since no one really knows what space is exactly, that there's no way anyone can accurately gauge how big it is. For all anyone knows, this might only be one universe in a multitude of universes. I highly doubt the question will be answered in our lifetimes, if ever.
space is endless surely cant predict size??
