I bet when they begin a fine examination of the edge of the Universe
they'll see Erik Mona out there floating on a cushion lotus-style.

I think they'll find they underestimated the size of the universe.

As far as I understand, current astronomical agreement is that the total size of the universe is something we cannot entirely appreciate, so we will always be underestimating it.
Instead, what we can see is the Observable Universe (or Hubble Sphere), which is the region of space within an 18-billion light-year radius from Earth.
In other words, we can only see the parts of the universe from where the light has managed to reach us (as it appears the universe would have expanded/is expanding faster than the speed of light).
So technically, each one of us is the centre of a specific universe (which also means The Sign of One faction from Planescape might have been onto something).
ET's finally going to do it!
