What are the implications of an infinite large universe?

[SkyWriting]

The current radius of the observable universe is about 46 billion light years (so I guess we can measure it). At some point it will be exactly 47 billion light years. That's pretty set as distances go. I'll admit that it won't be exactly that size for long and we won't know the exact time it gets there (we won't be here), but it will be that exact size.

That is simply an assumption based on time and speed so is nothing that is measurable.

It's going to take me three hours to drive to Canberra on Thursday. At an average speed of 95kph. So that makes Canberra 287km away from Bondi.

But that's just an assumption based on time and speed so we have actually have no idea how far it is. Maybe I should leave today...

Don't be silly.

The difference being that I can double-check your wacky assumptions.
Which is a science procedure ..and so slightly less ridiculous.

I see no difference .. (and thus, hardly 'slightly less ridiculous').

So calculating the diameter of the universe is either a non scientific endeavour or cannot be double-checked.

Thanks for your input.

93.016 billion light years?

Does that tie in with scripture?

 

[SelfSim]

Does that tie in with scripture?

Oh no!! Please, no!
Please go off to Canberra .. right now!?

 

[AV1611VET]

Does that tie in with scripture?

Let's put it this way:

It doesn't contradict the Scriptures, so:

1. Bible says x, Science says x = go with x
2. Bible says x, Science says y = go with x
3. Bible says x, Science says ø = go with x
4. Bible says ø, Science says x = go with x
5. Bible says ø, Science says ø = free to speculate on your own

Oh no!! Please, no!

So what is the relevance of SN1987A?

Well the distance to it is based on things that were well known even at the time the bible was written?

This video summarizes the relevancy of your posts and probably makes more sense.

You realize this means the Bible was written at least 160,000 years ago and predated the creation date of 4004BC or whatever.

You have made a lot of threads, here and elsewhere, so?

My guess is that he had SN1987A in mind.
