Actual Universe

The observable universe is something like 100 billion (+/-50) light years in width.

You believe that?

Lots of variance here.

Depending on who you listen to.

But the thing is, if you could travel the speed of light (impossible?) it would still take 100 billion years to go from start to finish.

And guess what?

There's more universe, maybe far more, than we can see.

Why?

Because that part of the universe's light hasn't reached us yet.

We're too far away.

Now I'm a man of faith.

Not so much a man of science.

But the more I learn about science, the more faith inducing stuff I hear.

An infinite, actual, universe.

Reality is only real if actually observed.

Time actually slows as you speed up.

That's a lot of actuals.

This is as strange a tale as any a book of faith has ever told.

So why the divide?

Why the separation?

Are we talking about the same thing here?

Don't get me started on quantum physics...
