Our Universe is an enormous place; that’s no secret. What is up for discussion, however, is just how enormous it is. And new research suggests it’s a whopper – over 250 times the size of our observable universe.

My comment:
If the universe is as OLD as it is BIG, then it is REALLY OLD.
The article I cite starts off good, but seems to me to contain a lot of scientific guesses. Scientific, but still guesses.
Still, interesting. The more we learn, it seems that we prove just how much we DON'T know.
