It is expanding. It began 13.7 billion years ago with the big bang. The observable universe is about 47 billion light years in radius. There is no evidence one way or the other about there being more than one universe.

What is the most accepted belief about the universe?

The most accepted belief about the universe is that it is approximately 93 billion light years in diameter. This is based on the latest measurements and observations from scientific research.

How is the size of the universe determined?

The size of the universe is determined through various methods such as measuring the cosmic microwave background radiation, analyzing the redshift of distant galaxies, and using mathematical models based on the observed expansion of the universe.

Is it possible that the universe is infinite?

While some theories suggest that the universe could be infinite, the most accepted belief is that the universe is finite and expanding. This is supported by observations and measurements of the cosmic microwave background radiation and the overall structure of the universe.

What is the shape of the universe?

The shape of the universe is still a topic of debate among scientists. Some theories suggest that it is flat, while others propose a curved or even a multi-dimensional shape. Further research and observations are needed to reach a consensus on the shape of the universe.

How does the size of the universe compare to the observable universe?

The observable universe is the portion of the universe that we can see and measure. It is estimated to be about 46.5 billion light years in radius. This is significantly smaller than the estimated size of the entire universe, suggesting that there is much more of the universe that we have yet to discover.
