    Size of the Universe: Imperial & Metric Measurements

    absolutely agree with you. I'm not trying to explain the actual size of space-time because that seems to be unknowable at this time. what I'm chasing is the actual size of the universe that could possibly contain actual matter. The limits of the universe are more than likely infinite but...

    Size of the Universe: Imperial & Metric Measurements

    (cy x au) explains how far a photon could have traveled since the "big bang" in on direction, the square is there to include the opposite direction.

    Size of the Universe: Imperial & Metric Measurements

    the distance light travels in one year's time. editing post to clear that up it wasn't written well. Basically I'm trying to state the size of the universe that actually contains elements exuding photons and neutrino etc etc.

    Size of the Universe: Imperial & Metric Measurements

    my wife asked me after watching firefly, "how big is the actual universe?". I actually had no idea at the time and I was too lazy to get up and research it but I did have a calculator on my desk and a pad of paper so I wrote this. The actual size of the universe itself? I'm not sure of, but...

    What is the math behind the physics of an air cannon?

    Cool man! sounds like a fun project to do with your son, my father and I made several potato cannons it was awesome. biggest thing that helps air cannons and all projectile based weapons successful is a proper seal of the intended propelled object and chamber/barrel. Too tight = energy is lost...

    Selecting Variables for Equation Building - Fastest Observed Velocity of Matter

    Hello! I'm in the process of simplifying an equation at the moment. The question I have is: How do you select the variables when building an equation? For instance if I'm trying to explain "fastest observed velocity of matter" which letter or symbol do I use? Is there a list somewhere I'm...

    Space-time travel in String Theory

    not that I'm aware of no. Time travels in one direction, but the speed at which it travels is relative.
