How wide, how deep, and how long is the universe in miles?

Answer 1

Our scientist might be able to measure the size of the visible niverse composed of the solid matter 9galacltic matter to some extent as there are large quantities of dust and fgments of stones aslo in th espace in betweeen the stars and planets in the universe . but no time would any one be able to know the limits of space as it has no limits and a limitless infinite space is evn far beyond the conception of the hu.man mindevn the existence of space as ntothingness as a being and its importance for the existence of the galactic matter and all the universal matter is yet to e felt by the scinetists themselves as the space being nothinbg has not yet caught thier imaginatioin. they ar gving shapes to the universe which is like the cumulous clound in the sky that is nothing .even the atmosphere is held by the forces of gravity close to the surgface of the grear mass of the glactic matter and because of this the gaseous matter is not able to be present in the space and it is vacuum..if there were any gas in space all the planets would hae ben burned to ashes because of the frictioin generated by the spinning of the galalctic bodies . even the space ships that entere the earth's atmosphere at much reduced speed glow in flame due to the atmospheric friction.If there were any gas that is not held by the graviational force of the , masses ,the planmet's rotation would cause frictioin and and fire in the space the scientists have not yet seen all the glaxies and glactic mattere in the universe to decide on the volume of the total galaxies in the universe .so the figures are not availalble as yet ..

Answer 2

The answer is not as simple as the question, and depends on what your definition of "Universe" is believe it or not. Most cosmologists believe the Known Universe is about 14.5 billion years in diameter. This is the universe we can currently see. Anything beyond that is unknowable, so therefore irrelevant. We do not know if the universe is infinite, nor does it matter, for there would be no way to prove either way. (Unless of course we can see an infinite distance into space)

Answer 3

In miles? Lmao. There aren't enough digits to express that quantity in miles. If you're looking for light years, I couldn't tell you that either.

There's evidence that the universe is in a constant state of expansion. What is believed, however, based on this, is that the size of the universe is directly proportional to its age.

The universe is at the very LEAST, 156 billion light years wide.

Answer 4

28 billion light year diameter (assuming a 14.5 billion year age of the universe) =
28 billion x 6 trillion miles, or 1.68 x 10 ^ 26 miles
168, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000 miles

Of course, if we knew the rate of inflation in the first fraction of a second ATB, the universe could be much, much bigger than that. Maybe 10 to the 10th to the 12th power. And for that kind of number, it doesn't matter much if you use millimeters or light years.

Answer 5

Once we find the edges of it, we'll be able to roll out our tape-measure (literal or figurative) and measure it. Until then, all we can do is theorise and estimate.

Answer 6

Questions such as these only yeild more questions, not answers. For instance, how do you know the universe is cubic and not spherical? What about e-space?

Answer 7

sorry to be somewhat abstruse but since the Universe is perceptual in nature and not existing as an actuality then to apply measurement is impossible.

Answer 8

depends on what you believe. if you believe it is expanding, then it is infinite in all directions. this means you are the center of the universe! if there is no edge, then the previous statement is true.

Answer 9

If anyone knew that answer, which they don't, it would have to be measured in light years rather than miles.

Answer 10

No one knows...but our best guess is that the universe is infinite
