Umm, liek, no.
If our universe is 47 billion light years across, and we are somewhere in the midst of it, an object we see can't be 47 billion lightyears away. That were only possible if we are on one edge looking at the other.

It's amazing to watch one video that shows the size comparison to our most commonly known sun Sol, to the largest known star, VV Cephei, and then continue to watch only to figure out on a scale of our galaxy, Milky Way, Cephei only stands about 1/1,700,000 of a PIXEL to a picture with the Milky Way spreading across the entire area. And then to stare at "47 Billion light years" (proclaimed), into "Space" and to see millions, amounts of other galaxies is absolutely mind-boggling and beyond me. I'm sorry if someone is offended if I advocate my belief in other existent life out there. It is like representing the earth as a molecule, perhaps, on a piece of algae in the ocean, and then scoop the entire oceans from land to land up and contain this amount in a tank, let's say, and back the statement of not having any other algae in this amount. Maybe I'm a bit anti-conservative, but man is too self-proposed.

That was very cool. I think when they say the universe is that big, they mean "the known universe".

So i just found out that Carl Sagan was pro pot. Back when i was a serious stoner, I used to love getting blazed and watching Carl Sagan's Cosmos series. Maybe thats why it was so agreeable.
