    Universe Might be Bigger and Older than Expected

    Yahoo & Space.com reports:

    Fascinating
    A brave little theory, and actually quite coherent for a system of five or seven dimensions -- if only we lived in one.

    In the time that the universe has been around . . . has any creature yet discovered how to go intersteller? And if so . . . would we know it if we saw it?
