What do you think the Universe would be like when it is 800 Billion years old. Science puts its current age around 14 billion years.


  • Thinking Galaxies
  • Heat Death
  • Dimensional Islands
  • A Single Entity

SciFiDreamers is a companion group to SciFiResearchers and is a LINK group for any subject related to science fiction ideas.
Members can add links, files and post messages. Photos posted here should be related to imaging concepts but some will also be just for entertainment. Members ideas for SciFi can be posted and discussed. No post is too short as long as it involves SciFi. Please try to break Very Long Concepts into multiple posts but add VLC to the title.
Gaming storylines will also be explored and linked. 'If you're writing science fiction, SciFiDreamers is the group you should join'. If you LOVE science fiction SciFiDreamers is the group you should join. This group is NOT for discussing established storylines.

The universe is about 13.7 billion years old. Light reaching us from the earliest known galaxies has been travelling, therefore, for more than 13 billion years. So one might assume that the radius of the universe is 13.7 billion light-years and that the whole shebang is double that, or 27.4 billion light-years wide.
All the pieces add up to 78 billion-light-years. The light has not traveled that far, but "the starting point of a photon reaching us today after travelling for 13.7 billion years is now 78 billion light-years away," Cornish said. That would be the radius of the universe, and twice that -- 156 billion light-years -- is the diameter. That's based on a view going 90 percent of the way back in time, so it might be slightly larger.
