Dr. Edwin Hubble discovered that the Universe was expanding at the same time he discovered that the spiral nebulae he was studying were really galaxies. He discovered that they were moving away from us so fast that their light was stretched in what is called red ...
... to the formation of the first stars in our Universe. This puts the size of our observable Universe at a distance of 13.7 billion light years. New evidence also shows that the expansion of the Universe is continuing and even accelerating.

It is therefore concluded that contrary to the pessimists the universe is probably teeming with super civilizations. This should be taken into account when interpreting astronomical phenomena by allowing for the possibility that not ...
