Interesting thought provoking post!
Only problem is the fatherest stars we see are millions of light years away, we are seeing them where they were when dinosaurs roamed the earth, the closer ones when Jesus walked.
I'm not sure the universe is measurable. I am of the belief that our's is not the only one, I think there may be an infinite number of universes. Multiverse. The cosmos that holds these universes may be of an infinite number as well. It may be that there is ever increasing systems....Isn't it strange how sub atomic particles are depicted as little universes? Which are basically nothing but energy, but they make up all the matter.
Could our universe be one of the building blocks of a bigger system. I think so. Atoms, solar systems, universes....the next too large to see or even comprehend. Everything revolving in a circular manor.
They say the earth is traveling at such and such speed, but relative to what? Relative to another sun in another universe, perhaps beyond the speed of light, so we don't even see it since it's moving away faster than the light can reach us..
