Thank you for the link. I always thought universe was probably bigger.

And older. I don't get the "younger" part.

parsy, the deep thinker.

The reason it looks so small is because the speed of light is finite. From our point of view, the stuff 13.7 billion years out is only just forming. The stuff beyond that hasn't formed yet. If the universe were older than 13.7 billion years, we'd see stuff farther out.

That can't be THE parsy. My, my, where on earth did you go? And did you ever solve your chicken problem? ;)
