@sargoth i know that it is a joke and you probably already know this but in the unlikely event that you don't. The universe is bigger than the distance light can travel in its age because it has expanded and this is bigger than 2x age lightyear because this expansion can be significantly faster than light if the 2 points you are use as reference are too far apart
