Maybe you have to follow them to see the page? Is that just a standard twitter thing? I'm nothing to do with the Academy, just follow them on twitter which is how I got to see it?
Nah it's not, it means that their account is set up as private.... Odd one.. |

I want the full 4.3gb image. The largest I can find is 348.59mb - big fucking whoop. Show me the money, NASA.

Downloading it is one thing, trying to open it would be an entirely different matter.

So, is there more matter than 'space' in the universe?
Has the universe got a 'shape'?
If the universe is still expanding, what's it expanding into?

Indeed. I'd still like the opportunity to try though! |

I still can't get my head around the fact there was nothing and then it exploded for no reason creating everything  |

It has been proven mathematically that 'nothing' is extremely unstable and it is inevitable that something will be produced. At the quantum level particles pop in and out of existence from nowhere all the time. It's thought that some kind of quantum bubble formed which became filled with such particles, causing the expansion that lead to the universe. |

I watched Brian Cox explain it as some form of waves, and one wave dropped out (as you said). Still can't get my head around it though, to me its not logical. Which is probably why I'm an accountant not a physicist. |

I watched someone explain matter and non matter using a tea pot which was simple enough for me to understand. If some could explain the creation of the universe like that maybe I'd get it  |

http://www.spacetelescope.org/images/heic1502a/ - List of image formats on the right Not sure if its still around on iPlayer, but i watched an old Horizon programme from a few years ago, the other week, on Infinity (think it was called "to infinity and beyond"). Went into the concepts of an infinite universe...and even infinite amounts of infinite unverses. Mind bending stuff, well worth a watch. |

Here's another mind-fuck for yah.
It is estimated that in the observable universe, there is 5-10 as many stars as there are grains of sand on ALL of the beaches on planet Earth.
