How Big?

How big is the universe?

Modern science cannot possibly answer that question because then, it has to explain what lies beyond whatever size it theorizes the universe to be of, and of course, then we would find ourselves in complicated unending discussions on how to define universe, and what is NOT universe and how science is an unending process of discovery.

The only other possible direction in which I believe can give a definite answer is of course, what follows from Advaita-- "There is no universe."

Now, one would think science would immediately have a problem with such a seemingly preposterous proposition. But scientists are actually saying something very close.
