    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popper's_three_worlds

    These three "worlds" are not proposed as isolated universes but rather are realms or levels within the known universe. Their numbering reflects their temporal order within the known universe and that the later realms emerged as products of developments within the preceding realms. A one-word description of each realm is that World 1 is the material realm, World 2 is the mental realm, and World ...

Inflationary epoch Electroweak epoch < 10 −32 s: 10 28 K ~ 10 22 K (10 15 ~ 10 9 GeV) Cosmic inflation expands space by a factor of the order of 10 26 over a time of the order of 10 −36 to 10 −32 ...

  9. Observable universe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observable_universe

    The comoving distance from Earth to the edge of the observable universe is about 14.26 gigaparsecs (46.5 billion light-years or 4.40 × 10 26 m) in any direction. The observable universe is thus a sphere with a diameter of about 28.5 gigaparsecs [27] (93 billion light-years or 8.8 × 10 26 m). [28]
