    A faster light speed wouldn’t make a difference, since she made the universe 96 billion light years wide.

      Something tells me this isn’t a bad thing. If there is an edge of the universe, it’s probably going to be a very strange place.

        Indeed, but the way the math for expansion works is that there is something called a Hubble horizon and that makes it impossible to ever reach the edge, since it is moving away from us faster than light. (The limit doesn’t apply to the expansion of space-time).

        Quite a nifty solution by the Supreme Programmer to avoid us hitting the limits of the simulation. I couldn’t have designed it better.
