      I don’t think anyone really knows, that’s why its not in observable universe as it is as of yet unobserved!

      The non-observable universe is estimated to be 250 times the observable Universe, i.e., at least 7 trillion light years in diameter – so much bigger than anything we know currently!

      We can guess but the fact is that we don’t know. The great thing about science is there is still so much to learn and discover. We have come a long way in the last few hundred years and our understanding of the world around us is getting better. But one thing we do know is that we have not even scratched the surface of what is possible yet and that to me is just so exciting.
