The Vast Universe

This is a really cool clip about just how big the universe really is. It takes you on a journey at the speed of light beginning with our solar system; then it goes through our galaxy and a long way into the universe--as far as the "known universe."

The words space and time, distance and speed construct the very language we use to explore the universe, were brought up to believe that entities occupy a space and when they apparently move together this is done in a time but if one visualizes a universe in which the illusion of apparently distant entities effecting each other is just an expression of their differences or lack of complete entanglement and the observed distance is the part that is not entangled exactly 100%

The Bible also said that all this was done in seven days. CONTRADICTION? Christianity as well as other religions have no idea what is going on. If the creator of this video is quoting from the bible about "HE STRETCHED THE HEAVENS", he contradicted himself because he referenced the quote as to be about 3000 years ago, but in the video he is describing distances that are 10 billions light years away. So for all you bible and quran thumbers, your version of God has nothing to do with this.

@spacedecoy matter is a point where the fabric of space and time collects.

Al Quran

[52:35 to 38]

Is it that they are created by none, or are they themselves the creators?

Or have they created the heavens and the earth? No, but they are sure of nothing.

Or do they have the treasures of your Lord, or have they acquired control (over them)?

Or have they a stairway (to the heavens) by means of which they listen (to the divine decrees)? If so, their listener must bring a clear proof.

Major error and potentially dishonestly utilized. Heavens does not refer to the Universe. Heaven is a misunderstood word translated from the Hebrew for Firmament. "He stretched out the firmament". Further we know from the biblical statement "water below and water above the firmament" that it represents a much more localized area. No stretch of anyone's imagination could equate this to meaning the whole Universe.

Instead 'firmament' (heaven) refers to our Asteroid belt. Google it.
