Can we measure the size of the Universe?

We recognize the Universe is swelled . But just how big is it really ? And how could we ever measure something as ephemeral as the cosmos ? Thisnew videoby the ever - popularMinute Physicstakes a knife thrust at these issue — and not surprisingly , the answers are not as straightforward as we might hope .

Given that we ’re hopelessly stuck in our Hubble house of cards , we can only see as far as the Christ Within reaching us allows . This gives us the impression that we ’re at the center of the Universe , but that ca n’t possibly be right . So does anything lie beyond the discernible Universe ? And if so , for how long ? Infinity ?
