Short answer: The universe is expanding faster that the speed of light.
-
if everybody leaves their toast in for 8 minutes....this could account for most of the dark matter in the universe
-
If the universe is so big, why won’t it fight me?
-
I’ve seen this video three times already and still can’t figure it out
-
Basically space is expanding so fast it’s decreasing our render distance
-
Who else or is it just me who enjoys topics as this, but really understand very little at the end? Lol
-
That must have been a heck of a measuring tape.
-
Bro what did you do to that toast?
-
who toasts their bread for 8 minutes

So basically he is saying that we will never ever know how really big the universe is. It’s because we can’t see anything that is beyond 15Billion light years due to the expansion of universe is faster than the speed of light. The fact that we are loosing 20k stars per seconds on our line of sights speaks how fast the universe is expanding. This is very fascinating!

Interesting Video. Then the obvious next question is, if the universe is really limited in space-time, what comes after? And if its really expanding, what is the content that it is expanding in?

Why do you show Earth spinning backwards?
-
Actually it's 1.2 trillion wide. I just finished measuring with my yard stick
-
I usually toast my bread for 8 minutes until it’s a crisp charcoal black
-
Provided that the expansion rate is not slowed or even reversed.
-
This is one of those things that when you try to analyse in earthly terms, things just don't fit. The reason that the two time spans don't agree is that time and distance having the interconnection have two different dimentions thus two different time spans.

I seriously thought this guy was going to sell me the Old Testament

You say “Nothing travels faster than light.” However, I recall from Doug Adams’s “Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy” that their spaceship was powered by “bad news” because “nothing travels faster than bad news.” Of course, wherever they went, they were not welcome. Thanks for the clever video.

i watched this again and again

Then we cannot use size to gauge time. And it begs, how long has the expansion been uniform?
