Two fallacies: (1) "observable universe" technically is the same as 
"universe".  (2) "moment in time" is a meaningless term, even for things 
fairly close together, let alone separated in a spacelike way.

In other words, define "universe" first. This gets you into Clinton 
areas, of trying to define what "is" is.
