Scientists can not even begin to estimate the size of the universe just before the Big Bang. The Big Bang destroyed all information about what existed before it occurred. Scientists have attempted to discover the size of the universe at the time of the Big Bang. The closest they can get by extrapolation is ten with an exponent of minus 32 of a second afterward. The guesses range from the size of a man's hand to a single point. No one understands what caused it. The secret may lie in two sets of equations, one involves the Theory of Relativity and the other involves quantum physics. So far no one has resolved the conflict between the two. If you can, maybe you will figure it out.

How many different frequencies estimated in Universe?

There are nearly an infinite number of different frequencies to be estimated in the universe. Because of its sheer size, the universe can contain a nearly limitless number of variables and possiblities.


How did they find the size of the universe?

At present, the size of our Universe is unknown. Because light can travel no more than about 300,000 kilometers per second, and because light has only been traveling to us since the time of recombination; there is a limit on how much of our Universe we can see. How much larger is our Universe, beyond what we can presently see, is a matter of speculation.


Is a googol larger than all of the atoms in the universe?

Yes, a googol is larger than the estimated number of atoms in the observable universe. A googol is 1 followed by 100 zeros, while the estimated number of atoms in the observable universe is around 10^80.


How can we estimate the size of universe?

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.


How many parsecs does the Universe has?

The observable universe is estimated to be about 93 billion light-years in diameter, which translates to roughly 28.5 billion parsecs. However, the entire universe may extend beyond what we can observe, and its true size is still a subject of research and debate in cosmology. Thus, while we can quantify the observable part, the total number of parsecs for the entire universe remains unknown.

How many particles are estimated to exist in the universe?

There are estimated to be around 1080 particles in the universe.


How many atoms are in the universe?

The visible universe is estimated to contain between 1078 and 1080 atoms.(One estimate at the higher end of the range is 4 x 1079.)This is the estimated number of atoms in the observableuniverse, but since we do not know the absolute size of the universe, we cannot be certain.(Most of the matter in the universe is still hydrogen.)

How many galaxies found in the universe?

The observable Universe has somewhere around 1011 galaxies. The entire Universe is much larger than the observable Universe, but currently, it is not known exactly how much larger. It might be infinite in size, but in any case, it is estimated that the Universe is a lot larger than the observable Universe.


When was the formation of the universe?

The Universe has an age estimated to be about 13.8 billion years.


Does the universe have a definite size?

The universe has been continuously growing since the Big Bang, and there is no way to accurately measure it, so no. Comments: In fact astronomers have estimated the size of the "Observable Universe". They say there's probably a lot more that we can't see. The Universe is about 13.8 billion years old. That gives the maximum distance we can observe as 13.8 billion light years. But while the light from the "edge" of the Observable Universe has been travelling to us, the Universe has been expanding. Astronomers have estimated how far away that edge is NOW. The usual estimate given for the "real" radius of the Observable Universe is about 46 billion light years.


What is the estimated size of the observable universe radius?

Oh, that's a magical question, isn't it? The estimated radius of the observable universe is about 46.5 billion light-years. It's quite a wondrous thought to imagine just how vast and colorful our universe truly is.


Why is the age of the universe estimated to be 13.5 Billon years?

Because that is how old the universe is believed to be
