[This is an interesting point. This discussion by this scientist shows how very fast the universe is expanding. This takes a bit of thinking to wrap your mind around it but it seems to be quite firmly proven that the universe is expanding ever faster. Even though it is only 14 billion years old, it's width is 92 billion light years. Something like 20 stars a second are disappearing from the night sky … and these stars will NEVER be seen again … because of the expanding universe! Jan]
