Boundaries of the universe reported by Professor Innes
The universe is claimed to lie within the Milky Way girdle with the farthest star about 540 light years away. Innes calculates a universe diameter of over 6.3 quadrillion miles, notes no signs of other universes, and cites 441000 solar masses as the universe mass. He estimates star counts by mass and suggests most light comes from a few large bodies and that space shows little light absorption.
