How big is the universe?

I found this video in youtube which gives an interesting look on the size of the universe. It's pretty popular so some of you may have watched it.

Probably seen it... this is the one with "OMG HOW AWESOME IS THAT, GOD MUST HAVE DONE IT!" at the end, right?

Another popular (but not as cool) one of similar theme (minus God, plus sweet Pink Floyd and pan flutes in the background):

Thanks; But can you also put the link. so that we (who live in Bangladesh with pathetic speed) could download and watch without buffering . It is quite annoying to watch a 2 min video for 15 min

Click the pause button and wait for the red bar to reach all the way to the end (you could go do other stuff

). Then hit play.

The Universe is infinite according to some recent theories. Also, what we call Universe, is not at all a true term, instead they are Multi-verses. Each Universe is trapped in a bubble floating among many many other Universes, complete with their Galaxies, Stars, Planets etc. There are up to eleven dimensions ( we can see only three ) and it is theoretically possible, to be in more than one place at a time, according to the laws of quantam Mechanics...I know..crazy..

Recent lecture on string theory?

Thanks Pasha bhai.

The 11 dimension model is not proven yet, it is just essential to working with Superstring Theory (or M-theory) which is a work in progress. Also the Universe can only be "infinite" in the sense that we can't measure it - like an ant on a star-sized inflating/defalting baloon (no edges). The closest approximation to Big-Bang says the Universe started smaller than a tennis ball. So there was a finite start at some point! I fully agree though Physics is crazy stuff. I haven't read a sci-fi or fantasy tale that quiet measures up to Physics.
