Yes. To be more exact, it is "space" within the "observed universe" that is expanding. A confusing fact is that many astronomers believe the universe as a whole may already be infinite in size. This doesn't stop them saying the observable universe is still expanding. "Infinity" is a tricky idea.
Yes, the size of the universe is absolutely falsifiable because the universe has not been accurately measured. Once the universe is accurately measured, it will be much more difficult to falsify its size.
The size of dogs is determined by genetics, just like humans. Look at the size of the dogs parents and grandparents to get a good idea. Also, what in the world is a "King Shepherd"??
The main idea of "Size of Things" by Robert Jastrow is to explore the vast scale of the universe and the relative insignificance of humans in comparison. Jastrow uses this perspective to reflect on the implications of humanity's place in the cosmos.
The Universe is continuously expanding. The distance between galaxies increases. The amount of space in the Universe increases.
Currently we can't. It seems quite certain that the Universe is, at the least, several times the size of the OBSERVABLE Universe. However, this is just a lower bound, and the actual size of the Universe may be anywhere between that, and infinity.
The Universe is expanding, so its size is increasing.
king size
Yes. Our universe started as a size of our hands, then the size of earth. Then became HUGE
It is more likely that we derived the age of the universe from its present size. The age depends upon the value of the Hubble Constant, which probably isn't really a constant in the strictest sense.As for the area of the universe, regarding it as a sphere is probably a mistake. The topology of the universe is different from that of the 3 dimensional objects with which we are familiar. ---- The answer is No. According to Astrophysicist David Palmer, we cannot currently determine the actual size of the Universe; but only attempt to determine the size of the "known" Universe which is that part of the Universe that we can see. It's analogous to standing in a stationary position in the middle of a dessert. We will be able to view sand all around us; but will have no idea how much more sand may lie beyond that which we can see.
Yes. Back in the 1930's, the concept of the "Steady State Universe" was common; the idea of a "big bang" was laughable. In fact, the phrase "big bang" was originally a derisive term for the idea of a universe that had a definite beginning. If you're looking for a specific name, Fred Hoyle was one of the primary proponents of the Steady State theory.
that is unpredictable. cause we cant find the size of the universe....
