Wow, the narrator’s accent is just too much for me to understand.
Thank goodness, now I will always know where I am.

Oh, yeah, “local universe.” To make readers think that the astronomers know what’s outside of it.
DUDE LETS GO TO THE ZONE OF AVOIDANCE!
Isn't it 57 planets?
Size is mindboggling.
Oh, but we do know what is outside of the local universe. Astronomers have been studying it for decades. Remember, by “local universe” they don’t mean our universe in some giant multiverse of universes. They only mean our tiny corner of this universe, the one we have known and loved for nearly a century.
Thanks. So what’s outside of the greater universe then?
“DUDE LETS GO TO THE ZONE OF AVOIDANCE!”
Chicago?
I’m just an interested layman, definitely not an expert, but before someone came up with the idea of a multiverse (which is still quite controversial), I think most astronomers and physicists would’ve said there’s is nothing outside of our universe. Our universe is all there is, and it’s expanding. It’s not expanding into something that’s “outside” of it, like a cake in an oven, rather it’s expanding in the sense that new space is being created all the time that wasn’t there before.
Dude...for a layman, that’s a pretty deep concept. Well done.
Where’s the little arrow that says “You Are Here”, I can’t find the route to the food court...
Thanks, very kind of you. I owe that particular interpretation (to the extent I got it correct) to Freeper ‘Physicist,’ who doesn’t come around anymore, much to our detriment.
Don’t go to the cosmic food court. I think we might be on the menu. ;-)
And wash us down with Pangalacticgargleblasters?
Things sure have changed out there since the last time I was abducted.
