The Universe is bigger than was thought.
#16
RE: The Universe is bigger than was thought.
So the estimated number of galaxies in the universe is up from 10^11 to 10^12. Hard to imagine that there is a lot more variety in that extra 900,000,000,000 galaxies we'd previously been in the dark about. Even if they were chock full of nuance lacking in the other 100,000,000,000 we already knew of, it isn't as though we're in any position to probe them to learn what that may be.

Sincerely,

a wet blanket
