How big is the universe in cubic metres?

Question

How big is the universe in cubic metres?

Answer 1

Some estimates are that the minimum size of the Universe is 300,000,000,000 light years in diameter.  Converting to cubic meters yields "a whole crapload".

Answer 2

.

Twelve.

I'm surprised you didn't know that.

But of course you did...this is just a test isn't it?

I hoped I passed sir.

Answer 3

the universe is constantly getting bigger.

I thought you knew that Einstein?

Answer 4

Why did you ask this?  You must have known when you wrote it that there is no answer. Since no one knows the dimensions of the universe, it is impossible to derive its volume.  And it's expanding.  You must have known this, Yet you wrote it anyway.  Is this a feeble attempt at humor?

Answer 5

Let's see.....the observable universe is about a 27 billion light year wide sphere....roughly 10 trillion kilometers per light year...well over 100.

Answer 6

Now Einstein, you should know that that is relative.

Answer 7

doesnt the universe just keep expanding?

so really those cubic Cm's just keep getting bigger

Answer 8

The universe is so vast that you cannot count it in cubic centimeters you have to use a unit which will really suit the universe

Answer 9

its impossible the universe is always expanding and even if it stopped there would be no way to know its too big! its the universe  

Answer 10

It is at least 3.45 * 10^80 cubic metres in volume.

Calculated for the visible universe using a radius of 46 billion light years:

"The comoving distance from Earth to the edge of the visible universe (also called cosmic light horizon) is about 14 billion parsecs (46 billion light-years) in any direction."

Answer 11

Einstein? Is that you?

Woah that whole 'dead' thing really racked up your brain there didn't it.

Answer 12

immensely big.

Answer 13

This question is actually an imposible question, ever since the Big Bang, the universe as been expanding,and it still is.

Answer 14

who knows

Answer 15

That's impossible to say.

I thought you were Einstein?

Answer 16

DUDE! i NEVER ends.
