Yes, well ultimately we'd like to understand the observableuniverse.
2
Within our observableuniverse, inflation ended long ago.
3
We talk about Copernicus, Einstein, Hubble, multiverses, the observableuniverse, the speed of light and the elements.
4
We are not merely legion-we rival in our numbers the stars of the observableuniverse in the current epoch.
5
What lay beyond the last sphere was never made very clear, but it certainly was not part of mankind's observableuniverse.
6
A top theoretical contender is gamma-ray bursts, equally mysterious cosmic explosions that can briefly outshine everything else in the observableuniverse.
7
One scenario, called the ekpyrotic universe, is based upon the hypothesis that our observableuniverse came into being when two branes collided.
8
That's a one with 21 zeroes after it-over50 times the number of stars in the observableuniverse.
9
This was about the time the observableuniverse could still fit within the 87-foot sphere of the Rose Center for Earth and Space.
10
These clouds are trouble for the EHT astronomers, who want to peer closer than ever before at this fringe of the observableuniverse.
11
Map of Matter in the Universe: This full-sky map from the Planck mission shows matter between Earth and the edge of the observableuniverse.
12
It would take more Planck lengths to span a grain of sand than it would take grains of sand to span the observableuniverse.
13
Still, the observableUniverse alone should be big enough for most people.
14
The whole Universe is at least 250 times as large as the observableUniverse.
15
The observableUniverse is, of course, much larger.
16
Per second, a single gamma-ray burst can produce as much energy as all the starlight in the observableUniverse, he says.
