Universe Measured To 1% Accuracy

of course if the universe is expanding rapidly then this measurement can't be this precise for very long...and the thought of a flat universe makes me uncomfortable..

So there's 9.4605284 × 10¹³ meters error in every light year measure? That's about 100 BILLION KILOMETERS, you know. (I hope I did the math right.)

Big deal.

Really?

Someone needs to be handed a dictionary, opened to the entry of 'Hubris'.

Might be better to have said "...the known universe...".

Wonder what values they evaluated their measurement against to arrive at the conclusion it is 1% accurate? If their calculation of accuracy is worth much, then the actual value has to be known with decent certainty to at least the same or better accuracy, right?

.

Anyway, 1% accuracy sounds pretty crappy to me. As long as they are assuming actual values to verify their calculations, why not make it sound more exciting and say it is 90 or 95% accurate?
