Or is it the ratio of your lifespan to the age of the universe? The universe is only about 3x bigger instantaneously than it is when transversed at lightspeed. The ratio of the age of the universe to your expected lifespan is about 8 orders of magnitude.

That only matters if we're the most special species in the universe. I'm not ready to make that leap of faith.

On the other hand, there exists two spots in the universe that are so far separated from each other that they observers in both spots will never be able to see, affect, or pass information between each other, simply because they're too far away and the speed of light is too slow. That's silly.
