Yes that was my original point that there is more universe than the observable universe.
Many folk assume because it is approx 13.5 billion years old it can only be 26 billion light years diameter on the rational that nothing travels faster than light so starting at a point radiation travelling at c we arrive at 26 bly dia...But inflation was not limited to c .well matter was but inflation dealt with the "growth" of space . I think that was one of the points Bert thought I was unaware of..
I must read up on why expansion is accelerating and if anyone has any views etc.
