Nobody knows how old the earth really is nor what the actual 'time' or age is.

Sorry, this has little to do with what you were discussing, I just find space and time theories facinating. I read 'A Brief History Of Time' when I was just 11 years old.

We all want answers to these facinating questions but unfortunately - they won't be answered in any of our lifetimes.

Well I'll be damned.. I fuckin knew it!!! Somedays are definately longer!
ghosty Reviewed by ghosty on . Interesting question Have you ever wondered how big the universe was? Assume we are traveling at the speed of light (186,000 miles/sec) from the sun to the end of our solar system. At the SOL and 5 hrs 31m later we have traveled 3.5 billion miles to the end of our solar system. Now we travel in the direction perpendicular to our galaxy. Behind us the planets and sun quickly vanished. The emptyness of space has broken only by the light of stars so distant they don't yet appear to move. Finally on April 5th of the Rating: 5
