A galaxy that we can observe with the Webb Telescope has its own sphere around it.

It's seeing into the universe farther than we can see in some directions.

So we know the universe isn't just our observable universe.

So like I said, we see we're here.

We can see as far back as light has had time to travel to us since the Big Bang.

But then there's another galaxy over here, and it has its own view.

And then there's another one over here that has its own view.

Yeah.

So, yeah, I'm not even sure that... I mean, that's a great NASA depiction of where this...

You see, as you move toward the left, back to the time of the Big Bang, you get to this kind of beautiful kind of rainbow-colored area, and that's what they call the afterglow.

That's the microwave background radiation about 400,000 years after the Big Bang.

That's as far as we can see.

The universe after that becomes opaque.

So that's as far as our observable universe can take us.

We know that's not the whole universe.

So the whole universe could have been huge before the Big Bang.

It could have been infinite.

We don't know how big it was.

All we know is our little bit of it.

For the sake of argument, let's say I'm the entire meta-universe.
