[Bossman]

I always knew we were an insignificant part of the universe, but this really puts it in perspective

It's amazing to think that there are stars in the universe that still can't be seen because the light hasn't made its way to Earth yet. Traveling at Light speed for 6 billion years, and the light still hasn't reached you, is just amazing.

More like double that

I often think of that when my problems seem monumental.. really puts things in perspective.

here is a question, during the initial expansion of the universe the universe waas becoming larger at I think it was 10 fold every second or something, and if the galaxies are moving faster and faster all the time would that mean they are going faster than light?! light speed=infinite energy so it should be impossible
