Episode: 24: Other BS - The Universe Is Bigger Than It Should Be… Here’s Why

from Uncomfortable Truths · host Euclid Phoenix

If the universe is about 13.8 billion years old, how can we observe a universe that’s roughly 93 billion light years across?At first glance, the math doesn’t seem to work—and that’s because our everyday intuition about space and time breaks down on a cosmic scale.In this episode of Uncomfortable Truths, we explore the concept of cosmic expansion and how it reshapes our understanding of distance, time, and the observable universe.We take a closer look at:Why the universe appears larger than expectedHow space itself expands over timeThe difference between objects moving through space and space expandingWhy some galaxies are moving away faster than the speed of lightWhat this reveals about the nature of realityThe universe isn’t just big—it’s growing in a way that challenges how we think about space and time.website: http://www.euclidphoenix.compatreon: http://www.patreon.com/cw/hoodedspirits
