The entire Universe is about 13.8 Billion of our years old. That number you wrote, is 96 Billion. You're only off by a factor of about seven.

I know I'll probably regret asking this, but why December 2012? Did your underworld "Bi-Pedal" buddies eat the Mayans? And if they eliminate us all in December, who will they have for lunch in January?
....but blocula was referring to the size of the universe, not its age.
Information from WMAP has even led scientists to peg the age of the Universe at 13.7 billion years. This has tempted some people to believe that, since it took 13.7 billion years for the radiation to reach us then the edge of the Universe has to be 13.7 billion light-years away from us.
Remember that not only is the Universe expanding but that its rate of expansion is also increasing.
So this is where it gets a little tricky. Since the Universe is expanding in all directions and since in the regions very far from us, the galaxies are moving away at rates close to the speed of light, then signals coming from them may never reach us.
This is the reason why we’re hearing terms like the ‘observable universe’.

So, what if there are reptiles and insectoids...Tell me, how is their nature going to eclipse that of mankind??? Do we need insectoids or reptiles to influence us? I don't think so. In fact, I bet if they showed themselves in the physical and didn't have any technology...they'd end up being meat on a stick against the evil of mankind.
Do yourself a favor and unplug and realign. NOTHING, and I mean, NOTHING, is more powerful than the will of a human being...because WE'RE NOT HUMAN AT ALL. Learn your own Divinity...LEARN YOUR OWN POWER. Pull in LOVE, PEACE, HAPPINESS...and nothing will penetrate you, no matter how powerful they THINK THEY ARE.

They are the same. Based on the best estimates of viewing the most distant objects, calculated to be in the vicinity of 13.3 to 13.8 billion years, the observers see the Universe as it existed just shortly after the 'Big Bang'. We are seeing light from ~13.8 Billion years ago. Therefore, that is the "size" of the observable Universe.

There is only one way to test your theory out, OP. Why don't you get yourself and a bunch of other people who believe along the lines of your theory together and start a spelunking group? Then you all can go underground and search the caves as far down as you are willing to go, and see for yourself whether or not what you say is true.
Your theory is not something which needs to be theorized, you can prove it or disprove it if you are willing to take the time to explore a little. You don't need bundles of money to go spelunking. All you need is a little bit of equipment and some sandwiches. You could spend the rest of your life exploring caves and mines if you wished. You could even goto school for speleology and make money exploring (just don't tell no one who you work with what your theories are).Just a thought...
