The stars you see with the naked eye are relatively close by, meaning in the Milky Way Galaxy, and probably on our side of it.  The Milky Way is a spiral galaxy and the reason we are moving at 17,000km/hr is that we (solar system) is orbiting the center of it the same as the planets orbit the sun.  All the stars in our neighborhood that we can see are close to us in terms of location and size give or take an order of magnitude.  If they are orbiting the same mass that we are (theorized as a super massive black hole in the center of the galaxy) and are close to the same orbit then they will probably be real close to our velocity of 17,000km/hr as well.

You say that with such certainty. How? Multiple universes?

Allow me to be more clear:

The observable, measurable, non-theoretical universe is finite.

Ahhhh, yes, I see. You disqualify the parallel universe, in which we went 10-3 last year. How convenient.

There is one of the theologian type that agrees with you, probably more. A guy by the name of Chuck Missler.

I don't give a fuck what a theologian thinks about science.

The entirety of the scientific community agrees with my statement.

Quantum Physics/Mechanics says it's possible to travel faster than the speed of light.

My mechanic doesn't believe this. But he doesn't work on imports.

Well, then that settles it. End of discussion.

My point here is not to get in this who is right and wrong bullshit discussion. It was only to share the fact I had once listened to this guy diving into the finite universe idea. Pretty interesting to say the least and actually made a lot of sense.

So anyways, I got some work to do here trying to harness lightning into my flux capacitor.

You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

I can't keep track of her when she's not incorporeally possessing a spaceship. Don't look at me.

See, here is where your problem develops. You listened rather than developing an opinion and sticking to it regardless of the situation. You will never get anywhere with this kind of attitude, son. Make your damn mind up and stick to it, even if it's a stupid idea. You can NEVER be wrong.

Doesn't matter, the edge of the universe would be the edge of any informaton you could obtain from it, so it would be beyond the boundary of light that has been growing since creation/big bang (I'll play nice....for now), since we can't travel beyond the speed of light we cannot get outside of the light bubble created by the universe, so no matter how far or fast you go you will still be within the universe.

So it could possibly be infinite. There has been no boundaries set?

I'm saying it is beyond what we can see, so what does it matter?

It matters because Wes made a definite statement. I asked how and am curious.

If you had headlight that could shine faster than the speed of light then you could see it though.

Look, I could explain all of this but I don't have time.
