|Our own galaxy. Like many others, it has a supermassive black hole at its center. Though depictions of the Milky Way are common (like this one), we can't actually see what it looks like from here, so they're based on other spiral galaxies. | |Our own galaxy.

|The amount of the universe that can be observed from Earth is constrained by the age of the universe and the speed of light. since if anything further away exists, no sign of its existence can have reached Earth yet. It's possible that there's more universe out there, but you can't know for sure out here. | |The amount of the universe that can be observed from Earth is constrained by the age of the universe and the speed of light. since if anything further away exists, no sign of its existence can have reached Earth yet.

|A finishing move in a certain popular anime involving a drill much larger than the universe. Any depicted motion would have to be vastly faster than lightspeed. Remember, in fiction, being awesome is more important than being scientifically plausible! | |A finishing move in a certain popular anime involving a drill much larger than the universe.

|The size of an atom varies, of course, but can be said to be on the order of 10^-10m. If that was 1m instead, the universe would be even bigger than the finishing move in a certain popular anime, but not as large as your Virtual What. | |The size of an atom varies, of course, but can be said to be on the order of 10^-10m.

|The Planck length refers to what is believed to be the shortest physically measurable distance. If you think of them as "reality pixels", the resolution of the universe is defined by this length. Anyway, if we took the last thing and then the Planck length grew to 1m, the universe would be quite large indeed, but not as large as your Virtual What. Thank you for playing. | |The Planck length refers to what is believed to be the shortest physically measurable distance.
