According to the most-current theories and observations, there is no finite limit to the size of the Universe. Measurements seem to indicate that "space itself" has expanded at an incredible rate since the Big Bang (which left behind a 'microwave background' of detectable radiation). This expansion was still carrying stars and galaxies away from each other when their light headed toward Earth a few hundred million years ago. (see link)
Honestly, the universe is a pretty big place. No one really knows the volume of aluminum as a percentage of the universe.
This is really an opinion. Some believe that god created the universe, and some believe that it was the big bang theory. I myself, being an athiest, believe that it was the big bang, but i really have no idea.
Not much, really. Our Universe MIGHT be significantly larger than what we can see -- that portion of our Universe we call the "observable Universe" -- or it might be infinite. No conclusion can be made about the size of our Universe based on the fact of the Big Bang.
It doesn't really explain it as describe it. Think of the universe as sort of the smoke and debris that resulted from a massive explosion.
That's because the Universe really is expanding. It started as a "big bang", where all the matter and energy in the Universe was concentrated in a tiny space, smaller than an atom - at a tremendous temperature and pressure. From there it started expanding, and continues expanding to this day.That's because the Universe really is expanding.

The theory is that there is a hole at the center of the universe, but that it is smaller then the size of an atom. Otherwise nothing is really known
The expansion of every part of our Universe was as big as our Universe -- which, if not infinitely large, is pretty big.
No, not really. The Big Bang theory has to do with the universe as a whole, not piddly little things like stars.
This is an area of active research... meaning, nobody really knows. The visible Universe has a radius of about 46 billion light-years. According to the "inflation" theory (basically, the modern version of the Big Bang theory), the total size of the Universe MIGHT be millions or billions of times bigger.

The entire OBSERVABLE Universe must have been smaller than the size of a proton. Since the ENTIRE Universe is much larger, and perhaps infinite, we really don't know how large that was.
well, the big bang is really not true there couldn't be a big bang or else a whole new universe would start again.but....if there was by chance the big bang would happen then it would swallow up all the planets and every thing around it starting a new universe(we would all be dead)
