Where's the proof that a god even exists? Except for the Planck time, physicists have all but explained how everything got here.
Here I am
I can't disprove you're god, so you must be!
If the universe is infinite in size it is a statistical requirement for a god, or a being that has ability we would consider to be godlike, must exist somewhere.

A faster light speed wouldn't make a difference, since she made the universe 96 billion light years wide.
Something tells me this isn't a bad thing. If there is an edge of the universe, it's probably going to be a very strange place.
Indeed, but the way the math for expansion works is that there is something called a Hubble horizon and that makes it impossible to ever reach the edge, since it is moving away from us faster than light. (The limit doesn't apply to the expansion of space-time).
Quite a nifty solution by the Supreme Programmer to avoid us hitting the limits of the simulation. I couldn't have designed it better.

And Earth is already stranger than some would like.
And that is scary. If the is one takeaway from observing the universe it's that there are always bigger and stranger things out there somewhere.

Light speed is a "you must be this clever to participate" barrier to becoming an interstellar species, that's all. Even if it's not breakable, it just means you gotta be able to plan hundreds or thousands of years into the future.
I guess us Americans are out...
We can hardly plan 5 years into the future, let alone hundreds of thousands... It'd be pretty sad if the answer to the Fermi paradox is that everyone is too stupid to participate.

When the game is open world but no fast travel or mounts.
Don't forget the part where it's constantly expanding. So it's 96B ly so far.
I mean, have you seen the human back, fuckin psychopath LMAO
The universe is actually expanding at a rate faster than the speed of light. There's only a finite distance we'd technically be able to travel if we were to leave right now.
